Are UAW workers making $85 an hour needy?
2. Anti-war --great idea! But it didn't work so well for the Brits after WWI. The "peace movement" resulted in virtual disarmament, which nearly gave Europe to Hitler decades later.
3. Against the death penalty --great idea! But I am still trying to figure out why..
4. Care for the environment --great idea! But when left wing government creates a true conspiracy called "Global Warming" (now "Climate Change") and wants to tax US businesses right out of the country, killing jobs, I dunno. If Global Warming is so real, why all the instances of coordinated fraud in the "science" of it all?

This is the pretty standard conservative response to these issues.
Assuming Jesus appeared next to you (or any other conservative) and you shot back with these rebuttals to his teachings, what do you think would happen? Do you think he would change his mind or say that you are wrong? It has to be one of those two. Either you are right or Jesus is right. You have to pick one.
And if the teachings of Christ are too outdated to apply to the US in 2011 as your response implies, then Republicans need to stop acting like the party of God.
