I never said he wouldn't be a conservative.

I'm having a tough time picturing Jesus as a NARAL rally.

I can picture Jesus there. The phrase "Go and sin no more" comes to mind.

Jesus voting for the party of abortion, euthanasia, homosexual marriage, Islamo-cuddling, etc? Sounds a little retarded to me.

It's a nation that honors the individual rights of pagans, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and others, as well as Christians.

Interesting she lists pagans first.

The newest liberal "thing" is to use religion against Christians. They'll take something out of the bible, something they don't believe in the first place, and use it as a sledge hammer against Christians. It's nasty, but they think it's funny. The last comment "as well as Christians" tells you something too.

I don't know about Jesus being a Democrat, but Molech certainly would be.

[plain talk]

They should point out that Jesus was a liberal, too. ...

She needs the guts to take a proud left turn and loudly proclaim that the United States is not a "Christian nation" in any pinched or exclusionary way. It's a nation that honors the individual rights of pagans, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and others, as well as Christians.

LOL!

Well if Jesus were a conservative, he would not be a Democrat nor an Independent. Independents are on the fence, and they never see things as black or white. Jesus is a person of absolutes.

[Echo Talon]

Jesus doesn't vote he leads.

Jesus would probably start his own political party.

I doubt he would support politicians who approve of murdering unborn babies, pornography, homosexuality, state supported atheism, and other personal sexual perversions (Democrats).

I doubt if he would be a part of a political party which has thus far demonstrated a total ineptitude for fulfilling the desires of those who place them in office
(Republicans.)

[cripplecreek]

I'm glad you have a direct line.

"Even for the Wonder Woman of the Party .."

PLEASE!! The vision of Hitlery dressed up as Wonder Woman makes me want to vomit.

Where is the BARF alert?

[GreenAccord]

I remember a thread from earlier this week related to this article that was about a response op-ed that debunked each one of this derranged fellow's points. I attempted to find it via the search terms "JESUS", "LIBERAL" or "DEMOCRAT".

Alas, I had no luck.

Is anybody else able to remember/find it?

[BureaucratusMaximus]

A Mega-Barf Alert is mandatory with articles like this...

Hows this?

[Puppage]

at a time when Democrat means liberal and liberal is a term of derision

Hasn't that ALWAYS been the case?

[PatriotBill]

Keep in mind...Jesus is and always will be PRO LIFE...End of Story!!!

[Right Brother]

This latest lefty fad of imbuing liberal qualities on Jesus is puzzling. Why are the imagined political leanings of a man so reviled by them so important to them?

[Schichtel]

YOU WISH!!!
