How naive.

The irony is that Republicans have actively chosen to brand themselves as the party of Jesus regardless of whether it has any basis in reality or not.
If Jesus were living in America today, he'd be more at home with AIDS patients and prostitutes living on the street than he would in the mega churches popular with the religious right. What would the typical Tea Partier think about Jesus's "render unto Caesar..." message on taxation? Would the "tough on crime" Republicans support Jesus's teachings about forgiveness and turning the other cheek?
