They claim to hate socialism... yet love Jesus for all of his socialist traits.

It's quite oxymoronic.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

One special advantage of the skeptical attitude of mind is that a man is never vexed to find that after all he has been in the wrong.

They also want government out of everything except those specific issues where they believe it is their right to force others to their will.
At least they go to church once a week so that makes up for it....... Right?

the chruch= please give us some of your money to help those that can't help themselves.

socialism = it's not your money, it's the state's, it's not your home, it's the state's it's not your life, it's the state's, and the state can take any of them away any time it wants.
