Jesus Christ spent his life helping the poor, serving them even to the point of washing their feet. He disavowed violence, adjoining us to turn the other cheek. He was not opposed to taxation, advising that we render unto Caesar that which was Caesars. Yet the Republican Party, which enjoys the support of fundamentalist Christians almost to the exclusion of all other parties, wants to toss the poor aside in favour of tax breaks for the wealthy and wage war against the world.
Oxymoronic, isn't it?
