Oh my God. You don't refer to yourself as a Chrisitian do you?

Jesus was a socialist.


No he wasn't, he was a compassionate Conservative.


Bwaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa!!!

He would laugh at the irony of "conservative christians" assuming his
mantle, or be incredibly saddened.


Doubtful


He was a socialist. He wanted to spread the wealth.


Through the kindness of charity, not the iron fist of government.



Compassionate
conservatives want to horde the wealth.


Not "horde" just "keep". We believe that we have the right to decide who
is needy and who deserves our kindness. It's counterproductive to prop
up people who have no incentive to better themselves. People who run
into a temporary setback are a whole different story.

They're anything but Christian.


And you're suddenly an expert on religion?



His agenda is served far more effectively by the left. He was an "all
ships" sort of guy.


The left wants to use the government to strong arm their agenda onto
everybody, whether they like it or not. Charity and faith are not about
mandates, but about choice.


The devil, however, is a much better fit for compassionate
conservatives, for, as you know, the road to hell is paved with good
intentions.


And we all know that those on the left feel that they're doing the
"right" thing, and that conservatives are just blind to those "good
intentions". You can look at it either way.
