I woke up this morning thinking of what else? Yup, you guessed it - Jesus. I don’t know why. I guess I’m just tired of all these two-faced Republicans walking around, putting on the act of “God Fearin Amerikans”; throwing their politics around in the name of Jeesis when, in fact, they are liars, cheaters, and hypocrites.

Whether you believe that Jesus was the son of God or just an illegitimate son of a carpenter, I think we can all agree that he walked this earth and influenced all he came in contact with. I don’t believe, however that if Jesus were alive today he would be a Christian. I’m pretty damn sure he wouldn’t be a Republican.

McCain & Palin mock Obama for wanting to spread the wealth around. Excuse me for quoting a rubber bracelet, but isn’t that what Jesus would  do? That guy walked around with nothing, and still managed to give bread and fish out in abundance. He gave more than tangibles, he gave love and little miracles here and there. Always giving, yet rarely getting anything for himself. Does that sound like the Republican candidates? 

Do you think Jesus would have taken donations from his followers to buy himself some new sandals, or a couple new tunics? I don’t really think so. Now, I don’t know much about history, but here’s what I know about Jesus… 

Jesus went into places the Pharisee’s would never go. He sat in with gentiles and he befriended a Samaritan, who the Jews didn’t associate much with. He may have fallen in love with a prostitute, who everyone judged, except of course, Jesus. He didn’t really judge much.

And speaking of the Pharisee’s - they were religious leaders who also worked as government officials. Jesus wasn’t too keen on them and they felt the same way about him. Plus, I don’t think they were too happy when he made a mess in the market place - over turning the tables of greedy merchants who were making money in the name of their religion. Could you imagine what Jesus would have done to our Market?

Jesus even saved the life of the male lover of a Roman Centurion. He didn’t go to their house, but he told the soldier that when he went home, his “servant” would be healed. And he was (Luke 7:1-10 - read it with a concordance, so you get the story straight without the skewed translation of King James). Do you think Jesus would vote yes on Prop. 8? I don’t really think he would.

And what about Barnabas? Essentially, Jesus was killed because the Jews didn’t want to kill Barnabas. Can you imagine, Jesus on the day of his trial, telling the Jews, “Hey, don’t kill me, kill Barnabas. He hangs around with terrorists.” Actually, that would have been the truth, since Barnabas was a killer and plotted to overthrow the Roman regime. But, as we know, Jesus didn’t say a negative word about his opponent.

It just makes me sick that these Republican hate mongers think they can laugh at Jesus’ values and his life and create prejudices and impose their hatred in his name. Do they really think we’re that stupid? I can’t wait for the day we get our country back, and flag, and our god (whatever god that may be). I hope that day comes really soon.
