Actor, pundit, and comedian John Fugelsang, in honor of Independence Day, recorded this commentary, “America’s Not A Christian Nation – But Jesus Would Be An Awesome President” for Current TV’s “Viewpoint.â€
“Wouldn’t the fundamentalist Christians you know really want to vote for Jesus Christ for president?,” Fugelsang asks.
“Who wouldn’t want to vote for an American president who was a peaceful radical nonviolent revolutionary guy who hung out with lepers, hookers and criminals, who never spoke English — was not an American citizen. A guy who was anti-wealth, anti-possessions, anti-self defense, anti-greed, anti-death penalty completely, anti-public prayer (Matthew 6:5 — he was) but never once anti-gay, never mentioned abortion, never really mentioned premarital sex, never justified torture, never called the poor lazy, never asked a leper for a copay, never fought for tax cuts for the wealthiest Nazarenes, and was a long-haired, brown-skinned — it’s in Revelation, I didn’t write it — brown-skinned, homeless, community organizing, pro-womens’ rights, Middle Eastern outrageously liberal reformer Jew.â€
