Phil Zuckerman, clueless about Christ

I just read an article by Phil Zuckerman, writer and wannabe-psychoanalyst of the Huffington Post, plainly asserting that Jesus Christ would be a Democrat (essentially). As my first boss and mentor used to say, "wrongo mooseface." Phil Zuckerman: Why Evangelicals Hate Jesus:

The results from a recent poll published by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life (http://www.pewforum.org/Politics-and-Elections/Tea-Party-and-Religion.aspx) reveal what social scientists have known for a long time: White Evangelical Christians are the group least likely to support politicians or policies that reflect the actual teachings of Jesus. It is perhaps one of the strangest, most dumb-founding ironies in contemporary American culture. Evangelical Christians, who most fiercely proclaim to have a personal relationship with Christ, who most confidently declare their belief that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, who go to church on a regular basis, pray daily, listen to Christian music, and place God and His Only Begotten Son at the center of their lives, are simultaneously the very people most likely to reject his teachings and despise his radical message.

I've always enjoyed it when the moralistic, judgmental Liberals declared, "you can't legislate morality." Of course, every law is someone's morality. And Zuckerman's confusion on this point is a close cousin to his cluelessness on another point . . . that is, that there is a distinction between what an individual ought to do and what government ought to do (or force citizens to do).

Liberals (now "Progressives") are all about legislating morality, and their policies more often than not pick "winners and losers" and expand government at the expense of liberty.
