It's amazing that certain people continue to get paid to say such stupid things:

 

Monsieur Robertson, Jesus, if he could be said to have any party affiliation, was a socialist. Religious conservatives are hostile to socialism (and have a soft spot for fascism and militarism) only because of a quirk of recent history. Marx and Engels were indifferent to religion (calling it the opiate of the masses was not a bad thing in an age in which some tincture of opium was in every active medicine) and the communists in Russia, then later China, showed overt hostility, feeling - with some justification - that religion seemed more interested in self-preservation than in progress. But this is a silly, recent quirk; Jesus and Amos and a whole host of Jewish prophets would never have been invited on Fox and Friends for the left-leaning tendencies.
