What evidence do you have for this ridiculous claim?

The teachings are about living frugally, to help the poor, to only live with what you need and give your unneeded wealth away. To open your doors to the needy and that greed is evil. Even how Jesus is depicted in looking, long hair, beard, sandals, pretty much exactly like hippies of the 60's.
It just seems to make sense that if you are a true follower of the bible, you would be a hardcore liberal, not a conservative.
Jesus wasn't a communist like Obama and the Democrats, he was a Savior... Not that Obama doesn't think he is the Messiah!

Jesus's dad was a successful small businessman as a carpenter.
The Democrats are like Caesar telling people how to live, where to go, when you will turn over your personal wealth and probably how you will DIE with Obama-care.

Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods!
Democrats covet, so they are anti-Ten Commandments which Christians follow along with the Jews.
Of course there are many non religious Jews in the Democrat party that don't care about Obama giving a billion to Hamas to fund their activities.
In Israel I think Obama has a 3% approval rating. That should also tell you something right there.

That doesn't mean anything, people who give from their heart don't feel any need to brag about it, many chose to keep it private because they don't need credit and would NEVER try to use it against others the way many posters here do. The bragging and insulting behavior doesn't go with Christ's values, which is something I know and care about.

This is true jesus would not side with Obama or the democrats, they are far too right to adhere to Jesus' views.
To respond to your comments, here are a few passages.
Timothy 6:17 "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life."

Galatains 6:2 "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."


From these passages, it further conforms in the eyes of the lord we should find happiness in god, not in wealth. Those that have wealth are to carry other's burdens so they can as well excel in life. These are far left liberal stances.

I'm neither, I'm highly educated and very aware of current and past events. On many occasions I have seen a few Christians interpret innocuous statements as hatred and bigotry. I have seen very little, if any actual bigotry, a few posters are critical of religion in general, but that is a small number, to imply all people with liberal values hate Christians is ignorant and just wrong. Simply not agreeing with someone is not hatred despite what some may think. Freedom of religion is an important value that some Christians don't seem to believe in, they want freedom ONLY for their particular religious beliefs.

Christianity encourages us to give to charity, not for government to force us to redistribute it. Plus Christianity promotes traditional family values. Fiscal liberalism by it's very nature destroys traditional values. Christianity promotes marriage, not for women to have out of wedlock children by varoius bad boys and then have the taxpayers) support her and her b*stards through government handouts.

Answering a research study honestly and reporting charitable donations on your taxes is NOT bragging. It's called being honest.

The majority of Christians in this nation are Democrats not Republicans especially when you account for Hispanics and African Americans. The group you are referring to are Evangelicals which are a type of Christian. I consider Evangelicals to be their own denomination like Mormons, Jehovas Witnesses etc. They support Republicans because many Republican social agenda agrees with those espoused by Evangelicals.
