"Progressives" NOT; "Regressives" YES

Those Americans (sic) who are termed "Progressives" are, in fact, "Regressives".

They wish to regress the USA back to the tyrannical rule of Britain before our first American Revolution, the establishment of The Bill Of Rights and the "Emancipation Amendments" when there was:
1. No free speech as allowed even what some now call "hate speech";
2. No "freedom of the press" as allowed publishers to criticize, even abuse, governments and its officials and officers;
3. No "free exercise of religion" (ie As intended by the Founders to prevent the establishment of an official national church and allow every American to cleave to some Church or to none; And,
4. No right to "due process of law" before inflicting financial or other penalties on those accused of crimes or other offenses; And,
5. No right to "keep and bear arms" as allows law-abiding and legally presumed sane Americans to immediately and effectively stop the harm intended by ordinary criminals, terrorists and, for that matter, power hungry politicians.

There also appears that some wish the USA (And what is left of civilization) to regress 1400-years to the medieval society which produced Mohammed (Of Mecca and Medina) who was a murder, bandit, genocidal liar and the perverted sexual abuser of a nine-year-young girl-child---A model followed by his most loyal followers.

Perhaps, those "regressives" should remember that the vast majority of police/military grade firearms (20-million-plus), privately held in the USA, are in the hands of "The Right" along with about 20-Trillion rounds.
