Is the Christian Right either Christian or right?

By Christian, I am not asking if they are members of a church that is classified as Christian; I mean do they follow the teachings of Jesus? If there were a crowd of hungry people gathered on the shores of a lake to hear a teacher, who would they applaud? Would they think someone who gave the poor fish and bread was the better person, or would the guy who set up a Long John Silver franchise and made a ton of money marketing fast food fish sandwiches to the masses be their hero?

By “are they right”, I don’t mean are they right wingers. I mean are their ideas correct or incorrect.

You may or may not like Rachel Maddow, but please set aside any prejudices and listen to the video where she exposes how lobbyist turned convicted felon, Jack Abramoff, funneled Koch Brothers money to Ralph Reed of the Christian Coalition to use the religious right as dupes supporting his corporatist agenda. If you think Ms. Maddow is a left-wing water carrier, you may be right. But remember, that has nothing to do with whether what she says in the video is true or false. All the charges she levels are matters of record. Check for yourself.

So, is the Christian Right really acting like Christians and are they right about their positions?
