Despite their stated Christian morals, Republicans seem to conveniently look past the hard-core facts that the man they fully support, and are fond of quoting to the masses and holding him up as the example, was, indeed, a liberal.
I'm talking about the number one son, Jesus of Nazareth!
Tonight on Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher made some rather brilliant points that I never really thought about, but they sure are on point!
He listed the reasons why Jesus could NEVER in a million years be the GOP nominee for president; why the Republicans would reject Him as a radical, left-winger.
Jesus said 'feed the poor' which smacks of welfare;
HE said "Heal the sick"...(What? For free?);
"Turn the other cheek" (Darn it, JC, didn't you hear the crowd applaud executions in Texas?);
Tea Partiers would demand a birth certificate after finding out Jesus wasn't born in America!
Old Republicans would decide they don't want a Jew for president...plus..he's a carpenter! Doesn't that make HIM pro-Union?
A few of my own observations.
His hair is too long; evidence that Jesus is a rebel hippie.
He forgives, rather than publicizes, people's sins.
He's a huge animal advocate.
He encourages reading, living a frugal lifestyle, working hard, and being honest; obviously he's anti-corporation!
He accepts anyone who comes to him with an open heart. (There goes that wall on the border!)
He says 'judge not, lest ye be judged!" Well, there goes another GOP hopeful down the drain! Where's that tubby Repubby, Chris Christie? Dangle a hamburger in front of him and get him to the next debate 'cuz this Mexican dude, Jesus, just isn't working out!
Throughout the entire Bible, either version, there is no evidence that Jesus would condone pollution, dishonest big money-lenders (so sorry, banks and Wall Street), wars, casting judgement (that's the big guy's job), leaving people to suffer and die, hating anyone because of personal prejudices, denying those same people equal rights, or support those people who are for all of the above!
Yet, He is in every campaign speech. I'm surprised they haven't realized just how liberal Jesus was. Maybe they need to sit down and read that good book again?
More from this author that isn't the least bit political!
