I’m always amazed how the left goes from screeching about any semblance of religion in public life to insisting that they know Jesus would agree with their legislative agenda.

The latest far-lefty to claim he knows where Jesus would stand politically is Ed Schultz, failed talk show host and now failed MSNBC host.

What would Jesus do? Well, Ed Schultz thinks he knows – that is on health care reform at least.

Schultz, on his Sept. 2 MSNBC program, “The ED Show” told viewers he believed Jesus would vote for a government public option. That, he said, was to the dismay of some on religious right, or what he used the pejorative “Bible thumpers” to describe.

And yet George Bush invoking Jesus would’ve resulted in cries of “theocracy” from the same corners of the left now using Jesus’ name to support their socialistic agenda.

Religion in public life for me but not for thee.
