Is Jesus made to look more glorious in our lives when we fight to provide health care and life to others or when we fight to make excuses to deny such things to others?
Has he not already poured out immeasurable grace upon us who were lazy, stupid, greedy, sick, undeserving, ignorant, worthless, destitute, poor, and all the while taking advantage of the free handout of common grace?
Apparently my life was more important to Jesus than his own. But do I believe that the lives of others are more important than my own?

now, I think you are right in the call to smoking out all of the self-centeredness that hides behind most political actions (in this case… conservative).
But there may be a couple folks out there who, with the compassion of Jesus, think that certain versions of “welfare to all” may actually be moment of fix which would set up a disastrous fall.
Maybe some really see it as butchering betsy the dairy cow
but do keep calling out that selfishness and heartlessness!
