Whose Side’s Jesus On?

Whose Side’s Jesus On?

Gore says he prays when crises loom.
He asks just what would Jesus do.
And then he does that very thing
(If focus groups would do it too).

So whose side’s Jesus on, folks? Whose side’s Jesus on?
Who’s got the Savior’s brawn, folks? Yes, whose side’s Jesus on?

And Bush says faith-based treatment’s best
For those adrift or drug-addicted.
Salvation’s just for Christians, though.
No Jews. Yes, heaven’s still restricted.

So whose side’s Jesus on, folks? Yes, whose side’s Jesus on?
Who’s got the Savior’s brawn, folks? Yes, whose side’s Jesus on?

The other side, warns either side,
Would of the Savior’s blessings rob us.
And Lieberman? Well, he can say
That Jesus wouldn’t work on Shabbes.

So whose side’s Jesus on, folks? Yes, whose side’s Jesus on?
The battle lines are drawn, folks. Yes, whose side’s Jesus on?

Support The Nation’s June Fundraising Campaign

With the midterm elections now firmly upon us, the question is whether Democratic candidates will do more than merely occupy ballot lines as mild alternatives to the red-hot crisis that is Donald Trump.

As Trump spends over $1 billion a day on a globally destabilizing war on Iran and admits that he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation,” millions across the country are struggling with the surging costs of essentials. Democrats must seize this moment and advance bold, small-“d” populist ideas—not settle for cynical caution that once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Nation elevates progressive ideas, movements, and elected officials achieving real change across the country into the national conversation. At the same time, our journalists are exposing how crypto and AI-funded super PACs are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to knock out candidates they oppose, reporting on the devastating impact of the Supreme Court’s evisceration of the Voting Rights Act, and sounding the alarm on attempts by red states to quickly redraw electoral maps, disenfranchising Southern Black voters.

We can play this critical role because of support from readers like you. This June, we’re raising $20,000 to power The Nation’s independent journalism in the run-up to November’s immensely consequential elections.

It’s in our power to build a more just society, and your support at this critical moment brings us closer to that bold vision. I hope you’ll donate today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
