Is it as the author summarized?:

But that's the thing. Even the quote you provided is incredibly loaded -- did Jesus preach for gun control, universal health care, and said that we needed to take a stand against corporate greed? Of course not! That is the interpretation of people on the Left.
I will not comment on the accuracy of the claim. Instead, I'll say that such a claim is valid and can be theologically justified. Having such views is
not against Christian views.
Likewise, believing that it is Christian to eschew earthly authority and prefer a radically Libertarian government while being a Christian can be completely in line with Christian theology as well.
Do you see what I mean?
How are they rejecting he gospel by rejecting the corporate welfare state?
That is just as baseless of an accusation as saying that liberals reject the gospel because they embrace the welfare state.
