The more one reads the Gospel from this point of view the more clear it is that God loves all people but sides with the oppressed in struggles for justice. Need more proof, look at the sermon on the mount in Luke.  

When I got to Union Seminary as an upper middle class white male I had to come to grips with the fact that my experience of comfort and ease that the world afforded me was only enjoyed by a small percentage of the worlds’ population. Furthermore, the privilege I so casually took for granted was made possible through the suffering of others.  My conversion experience happened when I became convicted that if I was to become a serious Christian I needed to be in solidarity with all of the people of the world, not just the few at the top.  That I must truly love all my neighbors as myself and that means giving up some of my own privilege. That I must live simply so others might simply live. That Justice was, as Cornel West puts it, what love looks like in public.  

This is the essence of liberation theology – it is about justice and love for all people and not fear mongering and silliness.  We are in a time when millions are out of work and out of homes because of the greed of unchecked and unwatched capitalism.   What our president is trying to do is not socialism, it is trying to help as many people get through this disastrous economic time with as little suffering and as much dignity as possible.  Sounds Christian to me.
