Leftists invoke "What would Jesus do?" to support ObamaCare

Leftist Ed Schultz is chastising Christians for not supporting ObamaCare. The left has adopted the position the US is not a Christian nation. I find their use of Jesus to support their position very hypocritical. After I got over my initial surprise that a lightning bolt didn't come down and fry him, I considered the question he raised. First, we can be sure Jesus would not have supported paying for abortion, euthanasia counseling, union thugs trying to silence the health care debate or calling opponents evil-mongers. Secondly, Jesus was not a socialist. There is a great analysis of this question here. I have excerpted a small part below.

Now for those who want to equate this outpouring of sharing with the idea of modern day socialism, I would suggest a short course in Biblical Theology. Christianity teaches that it is up to the individual to care for others, whereas, Socialism demands forced equality enacted by the government. Also, while it is the Christian's obligation to look after the widows and the poor, Paul specifically told the Thessalonians in his 2nd letter to them, that if a healthy able bodied brother will not work he will not eat. (2 Thessalonians 3:10) Socialism on the other hand, not only promotes but demands that those who work will feed those who are lazy and will not work. This is not what Christ taught. Jesus did not have the Good Samaritan in Luke's Gospel tell the injured man in the road to seek a government social worker. The Good Samaritan gave of what was his own willingly, not under the duress of the state. (Luke 10:25-37)

Here is the MSNBC video of Ed Schultz invoking the "Christian nation" defense for ObamaCare. If you can get through the four minute Schultz rant, the discussion at the end by Rev. Harry Jackson is very interesting.
