MSNBC host: Hey, wouldn’t Jesus want us to have universal health care ?
Hot Air ^ | August 13, 2009 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 08/13/2009 7:53:30 PM PDT by RobinMasters

I wanted to write a post on that business industry study showing that the House’s global warming bill will bludgeon the economy, but it’s simply too depressing/enraging after a long week of depression and rage. Have at it in the comments if you can muster the energy. Instead, since we haven’t had a good religion food fight in a while, enjoy stalwart lefty Ed Schultz discovering the joys of faith-based politics.

It’s a testament to how vile the left’s rhetoric has become, especially when mouthed by MSNBC’s primetime line-up of demagogues, that this line of attack comes off as comparatively genteel. Although maybe that’s due in part to Schultz’s guests here not barfing up the talking points he’s expecting. Take a page from Olbermann, Ed: Make sure to screen the guests for total ideological conformity before you put them on the air. That way there are no surprises.

My very strong suspicion is that if I posted this on a lefty site, all the Christians there would say yes, of course Jesus wants universal health care. As it is, opinion among Christians here will be unanimous that he doesn’t or that he’d have no opinion (“render unto Caesar,” etc.) Exit question: Aren’t the lefties right?

Ask it the proper way. Would Jesus want us to vote for a government to do what WE should be doing so that we don’t have to get our hands dirty? Liberals define generosity and compassion by how much of other peoples’ money they are willing to spend on THEIR projects.

If Ed is right than we should follow EVERYTHING Jesus said,

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Sure enough, it is the Church that should be taking up ALL social programs, locally.

Wait, Ed thinks Jesus wanted the Roman Empire to give everybody free health care? Never heard that is college. Ed is a real dumbass, even by MSNBC standards.

Why don't you put up a poll? Then "the people" can decide what Jesus wants.

Schultz also said that conservatives want to see Obama shot. He’s irresponsible, and doesn’t appear to have a brain in his head.

Just like when they lost in 2004 and they all jumped in front of cameras and started quoting bible verses, these people are insulting the intelligence of the voters but I’m not sure they’ll get away with it this time.

I wouldn’t worry about the voters, I would worry about failing into the hands of an angry god.

I think the testimony of Jesus, and the Church, is that, indeed, Jesus would want healing for any and all who sought it. Not only that, but a free people who worship God will develop their talents in such a way that those who are inclined to be the healing hands of Jesus on earth will be schooled in the healing arts. They will freely bring their skills into the marketplace where those in need of them can find them. They will exchange something of value for them - if free to do so. The poor will find that people of good will seeking to provide what is missing in the exchange for good of all.

I don't see a monlithic "single-payer" in that testimony anywhere. I do see that the abandomnent of religion will necessitate the rise of a "Leviathan," which has always been understood to be secular state of limitless ambition to control, which drives civilization into a miserable, murderous chaos, in which state the world finds itself in when Jesus returns.

Next question?

And he also says “go, and sin no more”

Be sure to quote that to your homosexual lobby.

What would Jesus have thought about abortions paid for by taxpayers?

What would he think about early terminations of seniors when the Death Panel gives you the thumbs down?

Does he mean the Jesus that was put to death by the Government that had imposed itself on Israel, enslaved the Jews and was headed by a self-appointed Emperor in Rome; that Jesus?

While we're at it would Jesus also want state funded abortion on demand and euthenasia as part of His healthcare reform.
