Hi Coragyps
That is far beyond hilarious if you think for a millisecond about Jesus's views on social issues.....
And the alternative to "liberal" is "elite" ... perhaps they'll try "communist" next ....
... without any hint of irony, humility or embarrassment regarding the meaning of pharisee:
Pharisee Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com
quote:
pharisee (fār'ĭ-sē) n.
1. Pharisee A member of an ancient Jewish sect that emphasized strict interpretation and observance of the Mosaic law in both its oral and written form.
2. A hypocritically self-righteous person.
[Middle English pharise, from Old English fariseus and from Old French pharise, both from Late Latin pharīsaeus, from Greek pharīsaios, from Aramaic pəriayyā, pl. of pəri, separate, from pəra, to separate; see pr in Semitic roots.]

Now, while I have know some hypocritically self-righteous liberals, I have known as many (or more) hypocritically self-righteous reactionaries, so that is not a characteristic that applies to any particular breed of political or philosophical stripe.
And curiously, I know of no liberals that advocate a "strict interpretation and observance" of any aspect of the bible, but that this characterizes fundamentalists to a "T".
Hysterical indeed.
Enjoy.
