Interesting comments

I, too, am Christian first. My family values are based on that, and, hence are not independent of it. Thus cannot be ranked, other than as ‘derivative’ of my Christian faith.

The same goes for my ‘conservative’ values. They are based on my faith in Christ. If someone could convince me, using only the Bible, that Jesus wanted me to steal from others to fund my compassion, that Jesus wanted to see millions of infant souls slaughtered before they had ever drawn breathe, that Jesus was against punishing the wicked, that Jesus not just forgave, but actually encouraged sexual activity outside of marriage, particularly promiscuous medically dangerous activities between people having the same equipment, then I would joyfully be a liberal, too.

But He doesn’t, and the progressives know it. The whole progressive experience is a rebellion against God’s Law.

However, not all Christians are actually Christian. And of those that are, not all of them follow the logical consequences to the end. Among this later group, I include GWB. And, indeed, myself. None of us have reached perfection.

But when the error creeps over into politics, it’s necessary to correct it. Not that I know God’s Will on immigration. My own thought is that we should be kind to the stranger, but we don't have to let him move in with us.
