Jesus himself was a liberal. In fact he was pretty radical. He worked to bring about tremendous change, he didn't compromise his ideals, he had ideas that many saw as blasphemous.
but in the US something strange has happened
Christian=Conservative=Patriotic=Supporting Bush=Having Family Values
Therefore Liberal=Godless=Immoral=Anti-US, etc
But that doesn't make any sense. Jesus was anything but conservative. He didn't come to save Americans he came to save the world. & he'd certainly not be supporting a president who started a war.
The Christian Right is so strongly anti-gay, but Jesus said to love your neighbor, not love your neighbor as long as he's not gay, and he also said that it's not our place to judge each other, so if homosexuality really is a sin, then God will judge that person when they die, it is not for us to do, here.
So basically Jesus taught indiscriminate love, non-judmentalness and peace... meanwhile conservative "christians" seem to be doing the opposite
