"He spoke of equality, love, compassion, tolerance, and peace."
Last time I checked, Conservatives were for all of that as well.
But equality does not mean special rights. it means equality.
And sometimes the most love you can show someone is discipline.
And Compassion and Tolerance do not mean acceptance and celebration of sin. (He said "Go and sin no more." People always forget that.)
Jesus of the Bible (as opposed to say, Godspell) was not a hippy. He was (is!) pretty much a hardass.
Re: Your tagline... Reminds me of the old joke that ends, "Now cut that out, Mom!"
I once had quite an argument with a person who was adamant that "Go and sin no more" was just a throwaway line. The mindset appears to be that Christ offers infinite forgiveness (which is true, I suppose, on the condition that one is repentant), and that all that talk about judgement is just talk.
Only toward unrepentant sinners, particularly the self-righteous.
To repentant sinners, he was and is compassion itself.
