Question for Christian conservatives

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I am a Christian and a conservative and very much believe in following the Golden Rule and loving your neighbor.  I don't think we should necessarily turn the poor and immigrants away.  Conservatives do care about the poor; they just believe that private charity is more effective than government social programs.  I have no problem myself with government social programs as long as they make people independent rather than dependent.  Futhermore, I don't think most conservatives want to cut taxes only for the rich.  I personally believe that we need to cut taxes for all incomes (the poor and middle class to reduce their tax burden and the rich to stimulate economic growth.)  Conservatives aren't anti-immigration, we are anti-illegal immigration.  I believe that if you are going to come to live in America, you should at least do it legally.  Illegal immigration basically sets people up for a lifetime of exploitation by employers, the government, and border security agents.  Jesus may have been considered a liberal in His day, but I don't think He would approve of contemporary liberalism's embrace of abortion and homosexual marriage.  He wouldn't condemn homosexuals or women who have abortions, but He would certainly not condone those actions, either.
