The Politics of Jesus

Andrew Sullivan still doesn't get it:

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.

A message of individual salvation didn't get him hung on a cross by the Romans.
