Especially since modern conservative values, as espoused by the Republican Party at least, are so often hostile to the poor. Especially the working poor who are expected to labor in difficult, often dangerous jobs that usually don't pay a living wage or offer health benefits. And be grateful for the "opportunity". <br /><br />The Democrats that have tried to bring millions of the working poor into the health care system are routinely vilified as anti-American, secular heathens among Santorum and his conservative colleagues. And the things they say about President Obama can't typically be said aloud in Church, can they?<br /><br />Jesus, of course, felt a little differently about the poor. He was a liberal Jew who threw the money-changers out of the Temple and said the meek would inherit the earth. <br /><br />So making films that glorify Him, while spitting on everything he stood for, must be a real challenge. I don't despair that Cameron and Kirk are up to it though. After all, they're "bringing America back to its senses". I guess that's how they viewed the gilded age of robber barons when the rich knew their place, and the poor knew theirs. Doubt Jesus would agree, however.
