I agree. Many times conservatives can be quite obtuse. This skit has nothing to do with worshiping Baal. Just ridiculing capitalism and Wall Street. I think many conservatives should get out more.
The reference to the newly liberated Jew at the base of Mt. Sinai is doubly apropos. Some worship gold, some human achievement (humanism), some creation (enviros), some political might, but who pray-tell is advocating and worshiping the one true God - the one who declared - I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me. Not democrats and very few republicans. The freaks in Portland condemn one idol while replacing it with their own. Sad and equally damning.
