Let me give an example of the latter. I largely support, with some qualifications, the Affordable Care Act. Providing health care for everyone seems to me to be fulfilling a command Jesus gave to us to love our neighbor.

More of the social gospel. No where do we have in the NT the example/exhortation for us to have guvment "love" our neighbor.

I disagree with him about the ACA's merits, but politics aren't theology. One can be a "good" Christian without being a political conservative in the sense the term is meant in U.S. politics.
