Jesus' politics were not Democratic. He taught charity but he also taught "my kingdom is not of this world" so he would not steal money from people through taxes for that charity. He taught that giving was about a free will act of the heart so he would want men to give it willingly and on their own. This is why , as studies have show, conservatives give more to charity as individuals (see the 20/20 study if you haven't).

You're getting your adjectives scrambled. Democratic is a term used to describe a type of government or a governmental process. When describing the political party the term Democrat is used, such as a Democrat Senator, or a Democrat Candidate. As for the political beliefs of Jesus, I don't think he would be interested in joining any of our political parties.

Democratic Party principles are contrary to those of Jesus, so you can't say he was a democrat. The Democrats believe the government should take money from the rich and give it to the poor, that is the basis for a better life for the poor. But as one who was on welfare and now earns a living, let me tell you that Jesus did not teach that. He taught that "in order to live you must die and become the servant of others." That is how I got off welfare, I serve others and earned a living, by following the teaching of Jesus. But the Democrats preach the poor are victims who deserve handouts from the government in the form of a higher minimum wage, etc, in order to live a better life. This is contrary to the teachings of Jesus. He again and again said the success in life is about serving others. He never taught that the government should steal money from the rich for the poor, as it does today. He alway extolled the rich to give voluntarily.

Two phenomena have been clinically proven to cause premature Alzheimer's:
1) Christianity.
2) The Republican Party.
Put the two together and you have an unforgiving mass of electrified retardation, a jellified conjoined brain of confusion running their mouths off all across their little universe.
And if you disagree with them, they all poop their pants. Because they don't like to poop in their pants, they put up a front that their ocean of weakness and stupidity is unflappable. But our noses can tell us the real story about the crap in their pants and the victory of the sensible people therein.
Spread this knowledge, brother.

Because the Republicans don't read The Bible?
