Not my words, but Steven Colbert's.

I'll let this go without much comment...frankly because I'm nervous about how any words I say would be interpreted without an actual dialogue.

But I do love that last line:

“If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was 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.”
