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?

Would you like the Vatican to run the government?

Would Jesus vote for someone based on their skin color?

Jesus threw over the tables of the money changers in the Temple. He did not like corruption.

Jesus never confiscated other people's hard-earned money, under the threat of arrest and imprisonment for non-compliance, to fund his chosen charitable work. Nor did he ever endorse others doing the same.

Charity is giving unto others freely by choice.

Socialism is theft, enforced by murder.

I don’t know Ed but when I meet him someday I’ll ask him and somehow get word down to you.

Schultz also said that conservatives want to see Obama shot.

well I certainly do not. I wouldn't mind seeing him humiliated, but seriously, what the Left is doing with these kind of accusations and cries of racism is threatening the conservatives with civil unrest if we oppose Obama. In other words, "Back off or we'll rouse the rabble."

What they are also doing is taking the substance of the debate off the front page and replacing it with a discussion on the Patriotism of the protestors. They have made us the story to take the heat off of themselves.

Isn’t it amusing when these Godless liberals play the Jesus card?

There are plenty of Americans who would readily resist the roused rabble. :)

Jesus also said that the church only requires 10% tithing... and the government should expect no more

No. Charity to your neighbor is freely given, not forced. Or legislated.

You would be surprised how many denominations lobby their elected officials to legislate charity... Who do you think is demanding free health care for any illegal that crosses our borders?

So he thinks Jesus would approve of government paid abortions. I’m not even a Christian, and I think that’s a bit of a stretch.

wouldn’t Jesus want us to have universal health care ?

Ummm... no. Jesus is all-powerful. If he wanted universal health care, he'd have it.

It reminds me of Satan quoting Scripture to Jesus in order to deceive him. As far as I remember, Jesus didn’t talk about universal health care. He did talk about eternal life, which begins with repentance and faith. I doubt that Schultz knows the meaning of repentance.
