Editorial: The GOP Doesn't Own Jesus

I posted this in another forum a few days ago. Someone suggested it would be better here. It's a really great article--possibly one of the best I've seen in a long time. It was forwarded to all of my holier-than-thou friends. Take a look.

Here's the link: http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/news/opinion/9581909.htm

Here's some of it:

"It is time for Christian liberals to respond to the efforts of the Republican Party and all its spokespersons to paint -- with as broad a brush stroke as possible -- all liberals as immoral and anti-religious."

...........

"How can you ignore his teachings on the dangers of wealth and the absolute need for compassion to all, whether you think they deserve it or not? How do you claim to get to Republican economic policies from that life and those teachings? Where in the name of God does your self-righteousness come from?"

Read the article for the whole thing. I look forward to what others think of this point of view.
