She evidently thinks "helping the poor = socialism" and "anything not Republicanism (i.e. Democratism) = socialism."
Both are false analogies.
EDIT: also I don't believe Jesus would be a socialist considering Matthew 22:21 "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s"
Jesus is apolitical, if not anarchistic. For Jesus, following the word of God faithfully would make irrelevant the need of following the wor of men.
