Stephen Colbert rips apart GOP’s anti-refugee stance by quoting Bible
Business Insider ^ | 11/20/2015 | Jethro Nededog

Stephen Colbert isn't pleased with the wall of Republicans who are against accepting Syrian refugees into the United States and the recent passing of a bill that calls for stricter vetting of refugees from Iraq and Syria. The "Late Show" host said it was the only thing he wanted to talk about post-Paris attacks.

"The question to let Syrian refugees into this country has become the new political issue, completely overshadowing the old political issue: whether to let Mexicans into this country," he said.

He brought up the lunacy of Donald Trump's joke that Syrian refugees would be very angry about going from their 130-degree heat to Minnesota's 30-degree cold. "These people are going to be very, very unhappy," the real-estate mogul said.

To which Colbert responded, "Yeah, it's a tough call for the refugees. Do I want to stay in a war zone where my family faces almost certain death? Or do I want to go somewhere where I have to put a jacket on before going to the mall?"

He then referred to President Barack Obama's statements in Manila in which he said that the Republicans who oppose the refugees seem afraid of widows and young kids. "First they were worried about the press being too tough on them during debates, now they're worried about three-year-old orphans," Obama said.

Then, Colbert joked, "Why shouldn't we be afraid of three-year-olds? You think we can't negotiate with terrorists? Try negotiating with a three-year-old. They play hardball."

The plot thickens for Colbert after Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush suggested that Christian refugees don't pose any danger. Later, Bush would have a hard time explaining what keeps Muslims from lying that they're Christians. "I think you can prove it," he said without further explanation.

BIBLE VERSE QUOTED BY COLBERT (Matthew 25:35-40 )

“I was a stranger and you welcomed me in.” “If they don’t say ‘welcome me in,’ they are either a terrorist, or they are running for president,” he said

I would imagine Colbert has a lock on his front door.

I'm an atheist. Quote the bible all you want. Liberals have tried that tactic with me in the past. It shuts them down every time they find out I'm an atheist.

As I mentioned in other posts:

Refugee supporters admit that perhaps one-tenth of one percent of the 10,000 refugees might be terrorists, but we should not abandon the remaining 99.9% simply because of a few "bad apples".

Someone made the following common-sense illustration: Let's fill a huge bowl with 10,000 M&M's but inject fatal doses of poison in 10 of them. Now let every politician--including Obozo--lead his kids and grandkids to the bowl and take a handful of the candy until they are all gone. That is essentially what these idiots are suggesting.

If I want Stephen Colbert's opinion about anything, I'll have the Bear Jew extract it from him:

RE: I’m an atheist.

Colbert isn’t aiming his rhetoric at guys like you. He’s aiming it at the VAST MAJORITY of Americans.

The Bible being Quoted by Colbert is like Atlas Shrugged being quoted by a Fidel Castro.

The scriptures were written long before Islam and the Koran (which teaches to kill infidels).

The Muslims are not strangers. We know exactly who they are and believe them when they say they want to kill us. They will also kill Colbert given the chance.

Colbert needs to quote from the Quran...and give out his home address, so everyone knows where to go.

Gotta love it. They mock the Bible every chance they get but will use it with a straight face when it suits their purposes.

Now that I think of it, how is this any different than the Muslim practice of Taquiyya?

This is how the socialist work. They find your ‘thing’ and exploit it. If you are a Christian, they appeal to you, using some contorted Christian teaching, not to vote for the conservative. If you like animals, same thing. If you dislike something, well, the conservatives are promoting that which you don’t like....
Most people seem to be too busy to not fall for it.
