Jesus was one tough dude. He did not accept any excuses for
failure. He did not put up with any junk from his buddies or anyone else, and
he would always call them out on it.
This is how I know Jesus was a conservative. He did not give
out handouts everyday and then not expect people to take responsibility for
themselves. As a matter of fact, the “learn to do it yourself” theme was
everywhere in Jesus’ teachings. This is definitely NOT a Democrat way of thinking.
Democrats prefer the people to be dependant, and helpless. Jesus gave power to
the people.
First, Jesus knew He would not be on the earth long. He told
His disciples to learn to do what He could do. That way, Jesus knew when He was
gone; His disciples could carry on the ministry. Jesus was not a dictator
wanting all the power for Himself. He knew that teaching others His abilities
was the only way. Democrats usually want the people to be ignorant, to depend
on them for money and benefits, and don’t want them to learn to think for
themselves.
Jesus expected the people to learn from their mistakes and
not make them again. When Jesus healed people, he always told them He forgave
them, but before they left, He told them to go and sin no more. THAT is a
change. Not more of the same behavior. He let them know they are responsible
for their own actions. Liberals do not take responsibility for any of their
actions. They like to blame the results of their own bad decisions on the
conservatives. ( Look at the $700 billion bailout, for example. Thanks
President Carter and President Clinton). Democrats are also telling the people
that it is not their fault they cannot get a good paying job. The Democrats say
“so what” you dropped out of high school, “so what” you can’t read well enough
to fill out a job application, “so what” you wear flip flops and a halter top
to a job interview. It is the rich business owner’s fault for your plight. Give
me a break!! The Bible says in 2
Thessalonians, if a man does not work, he does not eat. Jesus did NOT believe
in the welfare program. Also, there is the old adage: Give a man a fish, feed
him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime. Now, which one
reminds you of liberals?
Suffice it to say, Jesus would stand for the side of truth
no matter what party affiliate was attached to it. However, we all know which
party wants people to NOT be responsible for themselves and which party wants
people to know they can create their own destiny. I said all this to say again,
in my humble opinion, Jesus was a conservative.
