There is another thread saying that Jesus was a conservative. Let me relate a story we (Jews) tell their children about sin; and blaming each other.

This may be compared to the case of a king who had an orchard containing excellent early figs, and he placed there two watchmen, one lame and the other blind. He said to them: "Be careful with these fine early figs." After some days the lame man said to the blind one: "I see fine early figs in the orchard." Said the blind man to him: "Come let us eat them." "Am I then able to walk?" said the lame man. "Can I then see?" retorted the blind man. The lame man got astride the blind man, and thus they ate the early figs and sat down again each in his place.

After some days the king came into that vineyard and said to them: "Where are the fine early figs?" The blind man replied: "My lord, the king, can I then see?" The lame man replied: "My lord the king, can I then walk?" What did the king, who was a man of insight, do with them? He placed the lame man astride the blind man, and they began to move about. Said the king to them: "Thus have you done, and eaten the early figs."

Even so will the Holy One, blessed be God, in the time to come, say to the soul: "Why have you sinned before Me?" and the soul will answer: O Master of the universe, it is not I that sinned, but the body it is that sinned. Why, since leaving it, I am like a clean bird flying through the air. As for me, how have I sinned?" God will also say to the body: "Why have you sinned before Me?" and the body will reply: "O Master of the universe, not I have sinned, the soul it is that has sinned. Why, since it left me, I am cast about like a stone thrown upon the ground. Have I then sinned before You?"

What will the Holy One, blessed be God, do to them? God will bring the soul and force it into the body, and judge both as one.

As a nation, we are judged by other countries on what we do; not on what the Democrats do or Republicans. So it is true with what we do for the needy, not as a political party but as each human should do. Each person should give as they see fit, not have someone tell them what they can afford. When we are judged, we will not come before God as a Conservative or Liberal or even a Moderate. We will go naked, with only our deeds and be judged independently of everyone else. There is no shame in taking care of your family first and then others. But, there is shame if you do not take care of your own family and then others. This is something that everyone should consider before having a family. A basic question, will I be able to cloth, house and feed my family?
