The Politics of Jesus

By The Daily Dish

Sep 24 2007, 7:31 AM ET

A letter-writer in Iowa has a suggestion:

For all that some Christian Republicans claim Christ as one of their own, it's far more likely that he would vote Libertarian. Treat people with fairness and love; otherwise leave them alone.

Sorry: not buying it. Jesus has no politics. He has a message of individual salvation. No political system is necessary for it; none can ultimately prevent it.
