The Perfect Conservative

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them,

I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house on a rock:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell not: for it was founded on a rock.

And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, which built his house on the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Matthew 7:24-28

The Perfect Conservative

GOP candidate Herman Cain called Jesus "the perfect conservative" in an essay penned last year for the website Red State, adding that the Messiah helped others without government assistance and gave hope and compassion to all he met.

Not surprisingly in a hotly contested race, critics have been taking a closer look at Cain's writings as he vaults to the top of the Republican list vying for the GOP nomination. Cain is an associate minister in an Atlanta mega-church widely known for its liberal-leaning activism and led by a pastor who cites Malcolm X as one of his influences.


Cain is a longtime member of Antioch Baptist Church North, a church that has some 14,000 members and an operating budget of more than $5 million, CNN reports. It has hosted civil rights activists as guest speakers, including Jesse Jackson and Andrew Young.


In his essay, Cain writes of Jesus:

"He helped the poor without one government program. He healed the sick without a government health care system. He fed the hungry without food stamps. And everywhere He went, it turned into a rally, attracting large crowds, and giving them hope, encouragement and inspiration.

"For three years He was unemployed, and never collected an unemployment check. Nevertheless, he completed all the work He needed to get done. He didn’t travel by private jet. He walked and sailed, and sometimes traveled on a donkey.

"But they made Him walk when He was arrested and taken to jail, and no, He was not read any Miranda Rights. He was arrested for just being who He was and doing nothing wrong. And when they tried Him in court, He never said a mumbling word.

"He didn’t have a lawyer, nor did He care about who judged Him.
His judge was a higher power.


"The liberal court found Him guilty of false offenses and sentenced Him to death, all because He changed the hearts and minds of men with an army of only twelve men.


His death reset the clock of time.


Never before and not since ...
has there ever been such a perfect conservative."
