A Liberal Named Jesus

“I never thought of myself as a Liberal until the Conservatives defined “Liberal” as anyone who thinks we should care for the weak, give our brothers a helping hand, love our enemies and live our lives according to certain moral principles of fairness and equanimity. It finally occurred to me that the reason I couldn’t see eye-to-eye with Conservatives is that I was brought up in a Christian household and studied the teachings of Jesus Christ. So while I don’t consider my a Christian, per se, if I’m a Liberal, I figure you can blame Jesus Christ for that one. He’s the one who gave me all these crazy ideas.” ~ Wicasta Lovelace
