Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!
Yep. Jesus fed the hungry.
But, he didn't break down the neighbor's door and raid their kitchen to do it. He didn't rob people or threaten them with harm if they didn't contribute.
Yeah whatever. He also said that Mary was a single mother too.
Jesus ever leave a whole lot of these scattered about the country, illegitimate and unacknowledged, Jesse...?
No, no. Take as much time as you need. I'll wait.
Understaement of the Year Award,Sir.(sorry, no prize involved.Just bask in the glory)
So this is how Rev. Jackson's Bible reads: "When I was hungry, you taxed the populace to provide me with food stamps, when I was naked, you legislated tax incentives for people to give me their throw away clothing, and when I was sick and imprisoned, you sent your representative to visit me."
Jesus was the champion of the individual. Not only was the relationship with god a personal matter, but so were acts of charity and giving.
This is the largest pile of "Buffalo Chips" I have ever seen
This is such a tired argument. These people think that modern liberalism somehow relates to "Classical" liberalism of men like Thomas Jefferson.
"Determine never to be idle...It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing."
"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it."
"Never fear the want of business. A man who qualifies himself well for his calling, never fails of employment."
"Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself."
"An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens."
--Thomas Jefferson
Does this sound like today's "liberals"??
--Boris
Here we go again.
Nowhere does Jesus advocate BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISM as do the 'liberals'.
Nowhere does Jesus advocate SEXUAL IMMORALITY as do the 'liberals'.
Either Jackson is ignorant or he is a cynical prevaricator.
He's beyond the pale. So much drivel...where does one begin?
sigh
"An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens."
I like that!
He's finally lost whatever infinitely small notion of a mind he had left.
My "blog-sister" LaShawn points out rabid, foaming at the mouth ravings by Jesse Jackson in a column in the Chicago Sun-Times this week that defies all logic, sense and reality by claiming that Jesus Christ was a liberal.
Think about it: A conservative Christian is a contradiction in terms. Christ wasn't a conservative. He fed the hungry simply because they were hungry. He didn't require that they go to work first. He healed the sick, simply because they were sick. He didn't push them into an insurance company, or let the drug companies gouge them on prices. Jesus was a liberal; Herod was the conservative.Though many would say he did it long ago, Jesse has not only jumped the shark, he's dragged it outta the water and beat it with a Louisville Slugger.Moses was the liberal; Pharaoh was the conservative. Abolitionists were liberals; slave owners were the conservatives. Mandela is a liberal; the South African apartheid leaders were the conservatives. That's why conservative Dick Cheney supported apartheid over Mandela, and approved of keeping Mandela in prison.
The Suffragettes were liberals; those who opposed the vote for women were conservatives. Martin Luther King was a liberal; the segregationists were conservatives. He wanted to end racial discrimination; they wanted to conserve it.
Last I checked, my Lord and Savior stayed outta politics. He is Lord of us all, liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat, black and white, Jew and Gentile, logical and moonbat.
Jesse's analogies are nothing but partisan politics dragged into the pulpit. The pulpit ain't no place to drag this shark, Jesse. Give it up.
And to think Jesse Jackson puts Reverand in front of his name....what a "snake oil salesman" he is.
Jesus was not into politics, but he was he certainly would not vote for a candidate who endorses gay marriages, or abortions.
