Jesus Not A Politician

Each political party could claim Jesus as their own. Compassionate Conseravatives might have the best chance of proving their case. I find it hard to believe that Jesus would have condoned abortion on demand, would have ignored the plight of the innocents being slaughtered by Saddam, or would have turned a blind eye to the modern day money changers now administering the UN. Mary & Joseph having fled the country after his birth to save him from death at the hands of a murderous ruler, I doubt if his attitude was that all government was good and big government was better. And I bet he would have loved the faith-based initiatives supported by President Bush! However, bottom line, Jesus was not a politician - he was more concerned with our inner life than with the trappings of power.
