I've had libs try to tell me Jesus was a liberal. When I ask them what characteristics He had or what teachings He espoused that were liberal, they usually can't think of a thing.

If they answer at all it's usually, "He was in favor of helping the poor." My response to that is, "He was in favor of YOU helping the poor, not in favor of you taking money out of other people's wallets to help the poor."

They have no counter argument for that.

Sometimes they try to tell me he opposed the death penalty, even though he willing gave himself up to be executed.

"He was in favor of YOU helping the poor, not in favor of you taking money out of other people's wallets to help the poor."

Exactly!

He hung around with prositutes, tax collectors, and other outcasts of society.

He also "cared" about the children. In the liberal's mind, this is all that one needs to do to make ammends for public perception.

I say this to mock liberals, not Jesus. His reasons for these activities are not the same as liberals'.
