The Perfect Conservative | RedState
looks like he wrote this op-ed a while ago, though they didnt specify what year it was put up. I disagree with a few of his arguments. Not sure how he can say Christ was not born into a royal family, but I am guessing that's because his family wasnt the current royalty, not that they weren't royal. And I am not sure how he is arguing that the court that prosecuted Him was liberal. But this part I can certainly get behind. And he is describing the perfect conservative:
Personally, I think Jesus was above the political fray. But He is certainly the ideal we should all strive for.

He helped the poor without one government program. He healed the sick without a government health care system. He feed the hungry without food stamps. And everywhere He went, it turned into a rally, attracting large crowds, and giving them hope, encouragement and inspiration.
For three years He was unemployed, and never collected an unemployment check. Nevertheless, he completed all the work He needed to get done. He didnt travel by private jet. He walked and sailed, and sometimes traveled on a donkey.
But they made Him walk when He was arrested and taken to jail, and no, He was not read any Miranda Rights. He was arrested for just being who He was and doing nothing wrong. And when they tried Him in court, He never said a mumbling word.
Personally, I think Jesus was above the political fray. But He is certainly the ideal we should all strive for.
