Is Christ a Republican or a Democrat?

Christmas and the Holidays are confusing me....

In the Burl Ives tune Holly Jolly Christmas, during the chorus he suggests, "...somebody waits for you, kick her once for me."....now that has to come from the Republican party play-book; why kick a woman during the Holidays?

The Christmas song Little Drummer Boy has, "...come they told me, rough up a bum." ....it's Christmas, why in the world would anyone want me to rough up a bum on Christmas?....unless they were mean-spirited Republicans cleansing some voter roll....

How about, "...Carols at the spinach..."....I never see Carol eat spinach any other time of the year; is she a Republican?....why is she hogging spinach like a greedy wall street bankster on Christmas?

And I definitely feel Republican poli-religious programs that bash everyone and everything not Republican, have taken Christ out of Christmas. I hate when religion gets in the way of Christmas.

I used to believe Christ was the first true Democrat....I refuse to believe he's become a Republican.

He was a Liberal, a socialist who believed in helping and being tolerant of others.

Christ is beyond all of this petty politics. If everyone behaved like what Christ taught, we would have heaven on earth already.

Democrat Andrew Jackson stood up to central banksters and destroyed them.

When Democrat JFK stood up to central banksters they assassinated him.

******************************
John F. Kennedy vs The Federal Reserve

"Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to all future presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control over the creation of money. It seems very apparent that President Kennedy challenged the "powers that exist behind U.S. and world finance". With true patriotic courage, JFK boldly faced the two most successful vehicles that have ever been used to drive up debt:

1) war (Viet Nam); and,

2) the creation of money by a privately owned central bank. His efforts to have all U.S. troops out of Vietnam by 1965 combined with Executive Order 11110 would have destroyed the profits and control of the private Federal Reserve Bank."
******************************

Some of us believe that the same central bankster bloodlines that crucified Christ also assassinated Kennedy. Central bankster families fully intend to reign supreme on earth regardless of how many millennia it takes.

But that's all conspiracy theory, right?

Getting back to the original question, I can't think of a single Republican that took on the central banksters. In fact, Abraham Lincoln actually encouraged central banksters by introducing the Greenback during the Civil War.


On edit:

It occurs to me that one Republican takes on central banksters - Ron Paul. But the GOP has as much use for Paul as the DLC has for Dennis Kucinich. They both embarrass their respective parties.

So, in the end we have 2 Democrats and 1 Republican with Christ, so Democrats still win even post-edit.





BTW, where the heck's my html help to help me properly format excerpts on this new fangled DU???

And lets not forget islam and how they treat women and others.

Hopefully we have covered all the people we don't like or agree with and their fairy tales. Especially the Jews and their fairy tales, they started it all....

When He drove out the merchants and money lenders, it was to keep the Temple Holy, not because they were the one percent.

When we stand before God in judgement, He will not be interested in how we voted, or how much we made. The amount of time logged on the phones for an important election will not count for good points. Nor will how much you gave to John Kerry in 2004 count for anything.
