.....There is a concerted effort to paint those who adhere to the Jewish and Christian vision of the human person, the family and a truly just civil society as "backward." We are deluged with direct and indirect efforts to portray us as committed to a kind of return to some perceived "dark age". In fact, what we offer is the path to true progress.We are also accused of forcing "our view" on others. While those who engage in this kind of word game, using the word "progressive" to promote a regressive cultural revolution, are actually the ones who are intolerant of any view other than their own. Let's consider just two of many policy agenda items of the political "progressives" of our age....

What this country needs is a non-politician to lead the way. Someone with vision and good sense. Someone who doesn't want the job.

progressive as the left uses it is not incorrect...

it’s just that they are trying to advance the country towards a communist state

the real question is... do people care? those that understand the difference do. the others are just idiots

[elpadre]

liberals have indeed co-opted the word “progressive,” just as the sodomite community have co-opted the word “gay.”

Why do we permit these people to change our common vocabulary and popular usage to suit themselves?

[theBuckwheat]

If we are honest about what people self-define as “progressive” (used to be “liberal”), it can be understood that a progressive cannot be expected to uphold any constant moral value.

In fact progressives expect themselves and their fellow travelers always be searching for concepts that are thought to be better than whatever is unsatisfactory in our lives. They cannot have principles. Even when they do, they are quick to change deeply held beliefs the moment other opinion leaders sufficiently disapprove of them.

God tells people that His values never change. He makes His values plainly visible in the pages of Scripture. He pleads with people to have faith that His values are, on balance, the best ones for humanity.

People are going to base their hopes and actions on some value calculation. God also warns us that Satan is attempting to seduce us to reject God’s values.

Are we surprised liars lie?

At the turn of the last century they stole the term liberal and used it to enslave millions.

At the turn of this century they became true blue to hide their deep red insides.

The article is great and the author correct. Let’s take back our language along with our country. I’d like to get the rainbow back as a symbol of God’s covenant with Noah, too.

Sorry. Progressives are in it to progress to their egalitarian one world system with central planning. Life only has meaning if it is to benefit the utopia so all life must be controlled. No babies without permission and no seniors who will drain the pool of medical benefits. Marriage, in the utopia, can only be allowed in heterosexual couples to maintain the balance of the collective which is (in their mind) is unaffected by homosexual marriage.

At the root of it all is there utter hatred and contempt for God, even though they attempt to mask it in platitudes and condescension. I would never TRUST or VOTE for someone who calls their self a progressive. Their history make it impossible. They would be a wolf in sheep's clothing and we are instructed to as wise as serpents but as harmless as doves in such matters.

While we need a candidate who adheres to the faith, that need is far, far eclipsed by the need for someone who is strong on shrinking government, strong on reducing taxes and legislation, strong on illegal immigration and strong on defense. These are the values that will save our country and our society, while conservative social issues will not.

A candidate who is weak on amnesty, weak on spending, weak on sovereignty and weak on exanding government (but strong on right-to-life) will run this country over the cliff just as surely as any marxist will. Just take a look at where the last globalist fruitcake, compassionate-conservatism idiot took us.
