If only the real history of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his many serious flaws in policy and tyrannical tendencies were taught in schools and families, we would see a large movement of Jews and others away from the 'Rats. The Roosevelt mythology has unfortunately infected the minds of all too many and passed down now to the third and fourth generations.

Too bad the word "liberal" is used in the Bible in a positive way.

I didn't even know the word "liberal" is used in the Bible. Surely, the word underwent a vast change in usage over the twentieth century. In the nineteenth century, a liberal was one who advocated less government and more individual freedom within the private sector. Today it means just about the opposite. The more appropriate word for the latter is "statism."

Proverbs 11:25 in the searchable copy (Soncino) I have on my computer. That's the only place it occurs in the Hebrew Bible anyway. B'rachah looks to be the Hebrew which looks to me, with my weak Hebrew skills, like it could be have other translations.
