If you were President and had a choice of pardoning one of these two, who would you pardon?

Question

1. Jesus Christ

2. Barrabas

If I remember right, didn't the conservative Pontius Pilate pardon Barrabas and crucify Jesus Christ?

Answer 1

Pilate gave the Jewish people a choice of who they wanted released. It was custom to release one prisoner during passover. The Jewish people chose Barrabas and asked Pilate to crucify Christ. It was not Pilate's choice.

At any rate I do not think Pilate could accurately be classified as either liberal or conservative based on today's standards.

Answer 2

Different times, different people, different circumstances. Let's not compare apples to oranges.
