Well, sorry it came off that way to you. I didn't take it that way myself, and really liked it. Oh well.

Hi Derek

I'm kind of politically ... unaffiliated. I think the party system and partisanship are ... erm ... unhealthy. (Don't get me started. :) )

This song seems really hateful, just to look at the lyrics. I don't like to sit by while someone claims ownership of Jesus for something like that.

When I read the song title, I thought, "Oh, this is going to be a parody." ... I wish. Man oh man, I wish.

Take care & God bless

Anne,

I don't think the song is directed as people like you who are thoughtful and caring conservatives, nor is it really about any political affiliation at all. It's directed at religious extremism masquerading as piety, which was prevent at the time of Jesus and still is today. People who push fear and hate in the name of God and flag.

I really can't imagine Jesus would be too fond of either U.S. political party at the moment.

Though I have met people who seriously believe that their party has a lock on Jesus and that the other side wants to run Pontius Pilate for president. The songs line about "you would kill him all over again" puts it as if the only sinners belong to some political party other than the speaker's/singer's. Amazing.

Let's just say that sin transcends all boundaries, and (Thank God) so does his mercy.

Take care & God bless
