John In all seriousness, I think the question is not Can Jesus be classified as either a liberal or conservative?  The question is, “Which of those two philosophies today most reflects Jesus?”  You know what I think of that. Izzy And what is the "conservative philosphy?"   Is one a conservative if he believes in states rights,  a decreasing federal reality, balanced budgets, a dynamic national defense system and a woman's right to choose?   Or, what if one is pro-life, prayer in schools, pro medical mariwana,  and anti - gun. Or, what if one is pro-life, pro prayer in schools, pro "in God we trust,"  for state's rights, for balance budgets, pro national defgense,  pro traditional marriage, anti-gay (whatever that is),  anti-NEA,  for closing the borders by force if necessary and pro socialized medicine?  Or, what if he did not have time for politics of any kind, did not vote, and minitered to hundreds of individuals each and every year?   John What is your problem, John?
