I am always amazed at how all these people are under the impression that Jesus was/would be a conservative.
American conservatism, as it is currently constituted, is about the opposite of what Jesus was about--at least according to my reading of scripture.
It's amazing how easily we can be blind to things that we do not want to see, that do not align with what WE think is important (rather than, perhaps, to what someone like Jesus thought was important).
