I am a great fan of The Colbert Report, and of Stephen Colbert, who manages to both personify and satirize conservative right-wing ideology. Last night, December 16, he said something should be tattooed on the foreheads of every Republican in Congress - twice for Republican Senators - every Blue Dog Democrat, and Bill O'Reilly.
The clip is on Colbert's website, The Colbert Nation (it's the second clip). Please watch the whole thing, but below is the pertinent statement:
"If this is going to be a Christan country that doesn't help the poor, either we've got to pretend that Jesus is just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition, and then admit that we just don't want to do it."
TESTIFY, BROTHER!!
