From the Washington Post Hard-liners for Jesus
As Christians across the world prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, it's a fitting moment to contemplate the mountain of moral, and mortal, hypocrisy that is our Christianized Republican Party.It is a fair question. How do you square torture with religion? Since you think torture is fine, then what is it that makes you different from your hated enemy, the Islamofascists? Apparently these guys think there is a civil and moral form of torture.
...if Bush can conform his advocacy of preemptive war with Jesus's Sermon on the Mount admonition to turn the other cheek, he's a more creative theologian than we have given him credit for. Likewise his support of torture, which he highlighted again this month when he threatened to veto House-passed legislation that would explicitly ban waterboarding.
It's not just Bush whose catechism is a merry mix of torture and piety. Virtually the entire Republican House delegation opposed the ban on waterboarding.

If Jesus came back now the REPTILE party would have him arrested and rendered to some torture friendly country playing host to black CIA prison. Where he'd be water boarded.
This is true. Peace is an act of immorality. If you mention the word peace you're a traitor and a weakling.
This is how the authoritarian works. But you are right, Jesus would be crucified by the Republicans, modern style.
