Howard Dean: Jesus Probably to Left of Democratic Party
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/14/2015 5:13:14 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Is Jesus a Bernie Sanders fan? Could be, if you believe Howard Dean. On today's Morning Joe, Dean claimed that "if you look at the red-letter version of the Bible, Jesus was probably to the left of the Democratic party."

Dean's declaration came in the context of a discussion of yesterday's forum on poverty in which President Obama and AEI President Arthur Brooks participated. Question: is Dean confusing the establishment of faceless government bureaucracies that can entrap people in dependency with the kind of personal caring for the downtrodden that Christ commanded?

Certainly not when it comes to the matter of wholesale abortion for the sake of self-interest.

Does that mean Democrats will be allowed to mention God at their NEXT convention?

Jesus ticked a lot of people off being apolitical. Politics is full of vipers.

So the leader of the party of antichrists is an authority on Jesus now?

What would Dean know of the bible? When he was running for president he was asked what his favorite book in the New Testament was. He answered “Job”. Yeah, THAT Howard Dean.

I suspect Jesus would condemn both of these political parties we have right now like he did the Pharisees and Sadducees....the conservative and liberal talkers of his day in the religious world...

Our modern Republicans and Democrats use words and symbolism claiming to stand for something when they are hypocrites who stand for nothing other than power for themselves backed up by the financial support of business elites.

Why is the left can talk about Jesus, but the rest of us are not?

I am tired of the blasphemy that oozes from their mouths.

I hate when horribly ignorant, non-Christians try to tell us all about what Jesus was like.

Jesus never once made a statement about what the government should be doing. He laid it all on you, Howie. What do YOU do? And passing legislation to make everyone else do what you should be doing doesn’t count.

Moron!

I doubt Jesus would have turned the water in wine for a couple of homosexuals pretending to be married.

How could God be to the left of the party of the democrat, the party of satan.

Dean is, like all democrats, the child of the evil one for the evil one is the father of all liars, abortionist, murderers, homosexuals, sodomites, and everything else evil, such as and is the platform of the party of the democrat.

Take “to the” out of his sentence, and he’s undoubtedly correct.

Each time one of these baby-butchers cites Jesus, it gets written down, and the fires of Hell will burn ten-thousand degrees hotter for them.
