Back in the "good old days" before he moved to San Francisco, he was located in Indianapolis where many of the most mind-numbed robot-like knee-jerk Liberal elements of that denomination's minsterial corps may usually be found.
Jim Jones was "their baby".
Every evening about 10 PM, Jim had a radio program where he spewd Socialist bile and Communist tripe. He did and said everything except that which would prove someone a Christian.
No matter how bad Jim got, his sponsoring Christian Church ministers always had some excuse for it. Jim was impregnating women , molesting children, ranting and raving like the madman he really was, and those guys would say things like "well, the Hebrew patriarchs had many wives" or "even Jesus liked to have young children around Him", and "yes, Jim's a bit charismatic, but that was in his background". (Like I said, mind-numbed, robot-like, knee-jerk Liberal jerks put this guy into business and kept him there.)
What is truly unfortunate is that even after Jim Jones was revealed for the demon he really was, his apologists in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) continued spinning the BS. Many congregations were lost to the Independent Christian Church movement. Some might have gone over to the Church of Christ (Christian) although I don't have any idea what they'd do with their organs and pianos!
CONCLUSION:Ergo, nothing to do with Jonestown, or the Rev. Jim Jones, or his friends, or his movement has anything to do with Republicans or Conservatives. On the other hand, Jim Jones and his running dog lackeys were all too typical of the Democratic party and the Liberals ~ restrict the term "koolaid drinkers" to them!
