I'm a Christian (fairly progressive; not a Southern Baptist or a conservative by any means)

Actually Jesus in his time was very progressive. Many of his teachings contradicted the traditional way of things, which is mostly why he was crucified.
He wasn't progressive in today's political meaning of progressive, but he was a traditional liberal who preached love, helping your fellow man and equality.

Not in my opinion he wasn't. How do you equate "love all, give all, help all" with being ultra conservative? In our 2014 language, he was a Socialist. In "his time" he was radical with his teachings but even then I'm not sure you could ever call him ultra conservative. I'm a Christian (and a traditional conservative) and it took me a long time to come to that conclusion.

Jesus drank alcohol, fed the poor, mingled amongst and befriended "immoral" people, etc.
He did things that many Christians today would condemn him for.
