There is no political spectrum within which The Christ would fit. Politics is mostly secular concerns. In fact just governments keep out of the religious beliefs of the citizenry.

Jesus, was ALL about our relationship with the Father, our spiritual health, the Love of the Father and his desire for us to love Him. While Christ left us instructions how to deal with our fellow humans, those instructions are to each individual separately. He even distinguished between honoring the laws of government, and honoring the Laws of the Father.

He also made it quite clear which we are to choose if the two conflict.

Christ is none of the options you give.

Since Monarch isn't one of the forms of governance offered by the poll.

Oh and fwiw, in his day, Christs message was very much liberal.

It was the Temple where you found, and still to this day find, the really Conservative Judaic's. His teaching that you don't need an intercessor between you and God, like that of John the Baptist really incensed the PTB of that day. The High priest in particular saw them both as a very serious threat to his own power and authority as the High Priest of the Temple. This is why he actively sought the murders of both. However by our standards today, looking at the same message within the Bible, it tells us Christ was very much the TEA Conservative.  Clearly Christ was all for, social law and order. Which is what he himself meant when he said "render unto Caesar, what is Caesar's then" when questioned if they should pay tax. The lord very clearly taught us, and expects us, to obey the laws of the land in which we reside. :lol:

One of every five Americans you meet has a mental illness of some sort. Many, many, of our veteran's suffer from mental illness like PTSD now also. Help if ya can. :) http://www.projectsemicolon.org/share-your-story.html
