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.
