Jesus a liberal? That means Jesus believed that:
Abortion is a right
Gays should be able to marry
People should be taxed to oblivion
Government should keep Him out of public life
Yeah...sure he was a liberal.
Moron.
Government should keep Him out of public lifeIn reality, Jesus of Nazareth never wanted the government to endorse, let alone enforce, his religion. Recall the distinction he made between duty to Caesar and duty to God.
Blending of religion and government from a Christian perpective began with the conversion of the Emperor Constantine.

In a sense Jesus was liberal in his time. But once the changes he brought about were implemented and his Church well-established (after His death of course), there's no doubt he would be conservative in preserving the very changes he brought about.
But to say which party Jesus would vote for in today's world is a stupid argument. He is above politics of our sort. Of course he would be against abortion, gay marriage, and censorship of religion, but there are quite a few "conservative values" that he would be against I am sure. As I said, He is above all that.
Sometimes I wish He would drop by (not for the last time!) and slap a few people around, make some of those deep intelligent thoughts He's so loved for, and set things right again.
