Don't know what he was, but he wasn't a Democrat.

I believe the Liberals hold a different standard for themselves than they do for anybody else.

You could hold that as an axiom.

Begging desperately for a reality that does not exist causes that... to lose soul and mind.

He also lost sense of ownership and has no respect for Jesus' own sense of ownership in his own messages, which need not his distortions and views.

"There's no shame in being a liberal."

Liberals have no shame. "To spread the wealth the liberal is willing, he'll take YOUR dollar and keep his shilling."

Would Jesus vote for partial birth or ANY abortion?

Proverb 6:16-19
There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:

haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

"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."

The biggest point this idiot misses is that Jesus did these acts of compassion via his own free will and with his own resources. He did not use the force of government guns to steal from others so that he could confiscate their resources for redistribution.

The secondary points are that "being pushed into an insurance compay" is an action legislated by government and enforcable by force and that "being gouged by the drug companies" is actually caused (mostly) by the FDA. Both of these negative consequences are a result of government interference in individual's freedoms to chose and individual's responsibility for the consequences of their choices.

He forgets that God created man with a Free Will. That means man has the freedom to make choices and the expectation of assuming responsibility for their choices. As a result the idiot author of the article has made it clear that his position maintains the fact that the Government should take on the choices of man and the responsibility of man, therefore eliminating the Free Will bestowed upon us by God!

Pure evil, that needs a sound defeat!

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.

Jesus hung around with prostitutes and tax collectors but that doesn't mean that he justified the actions of either. Jesus did not petition government to tax the citizens higher so that the poor could be taken care of.

We are called up to tithe 10% of our gross income (before taxes). It isn't charity if you give money to the poor through government under threat of imprisonment.

Compare the donations of conservatives to liberals (Al Gore had given, what $6,000(?) in 1999 or 2000).

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.

Uh, Mandela is a communist, not a liberal.

Why doesn't Jesse Jackson discuss Teresa Heinz-Kerry here? She GREW UP in South Africa.

I humbly request the use of this phrase in my tagline.....I promise to bestow credit to the worthy!

Liberals are for rolling back tax cuts for the rich

Anyplace else and that "rolling back tax cuts" would be called "raising taxes".

"Uh, Mandela is a communist, not a liberal."

What's the distinction between the two?

Moses was the liberal; Pharaoh was the conservative. Abolitionists were liberals; slave owners were the conservatives.

So the Egyptians were all consevatives?

If Jesus was a liberal and the liberals were abolitionists, why wasn't Jesus an abolitionist?

"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."

Beautifully put!

Communist is one step left of socialist and one step right of anarchist.

Liberal is one step left of Conservative and one step right of Socialist.
