I wonder how many people have these type of thoughts ruminating around in their unconscious and then associate them with the Democrats. So very sad.

Well, my citizenship is under a government where Jesus WOULD be elected President…
So that puts me out of sync with most of my right-wing and left-wing friends; seemingly with just about everyone except maybe a few way-out Quakers and Anabaptists, maybe the odd Catholic worker (no, I haven’t read Claiborne yet), a few neo-monastics…
But hey, The Kingdom of God is At Hand, and it’s time to hasten into it…

The only problem I see is that if Jesus sought this kind of power, I’d know him for a fake.
It’s a good news, bad news kinda thing…

Tom, I think you missed the point of this little cartoon.
It’s not a commentary on Jesus at all.
