When anyone on the right invokes the name of Jesus, many on the left will excoriate them as intolerant, bigoted homophobes who want to impose their morality on others. They will then mock Christianity. I’m waiting for the liberal media to mock the Muslim religion. Don’t hold your breath.
However, when it happens by chance that Jesus has it right, the left trips over their tongues using the name of Jesus. A case-in-point, columnist Margaret Carlson writing about the poor said, “We know what Jesus and Pope Francis would do.” I wonder if Carlson knows that neither Jesus or Pope Francis would perform any abortion, or officiate at a so-called same sex marriage?
John Kerry informs that poverty is what produces terrorists. I have read that Kerry’s estimated worth is about $750 million. If Kerry and all the millionaire politicians on the left were to give their money to third-world countries, just imagine how many families they could lift out of poverty.
As long as the left continuously tells us how compassionate they are, and how they feel our pain and that conservatives are greedy and selfish, what more can we ask for?
Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my father who is in Heaven.”
