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.

Seems like the Late Show has become a major mechanism of indoctrination.

STEPHEN COLBERT IS A MIXED UP MAN.

Colbert is a practicing Roman Catholic and a Sunday school teacher, as well as an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church Monastery.

Universal Life Church Monastery's mantra is

"We are all children of the same universe." It also has two core tenets: Do only that which is right. Every individual is free to practice their religion in the manner of their choosing, as mandated by the First Amendment, so long as that expression does not impinge upon the rights or freedoms of others and is in accordance with the government's laws. The monastery's stated mission is to ordain anyone regardless of their spiritual or religious denomination.

It does not have a physical building that serves as a house of worship, and conducts ordination through its website.

According to the church, ordination allows its ministers to perform marriages, funerals, baptisms, and exorcisms.

It provides ordination services free of charge.

Liberals only use the bible when it supports their position. The scumbags like Colbert should open up their own houses to a refugee family. They don’t mind dumping them in American neighborhoods but they won’t be moving to Beverly hills.

Once again proving the absolute stupidity of the progressives. So stupid they can’t even see from the pictures that the so-called refuges are military age men. If they were refuges why did they leave the women to suffer at the hands of the people they ran from?

Refuges BULL FLOP!

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

Good statement. I'll have to use it when my liberal brother puts Cobert's comment on Facebook.

Idiots like Colbert are doing all they can to support the maniacal policy of this President. Anyway, this has never been about disallowing refugees or asylum. it is about protecting the nation from crazed, killer terrorists who are infiltrating those people.

And when you take an objective look at who is actually crossing into Eurpoe...it is obvious why.

Here, Steven, take a look with your own eyes and keep trying to defend your position. sorry, it does not hold water. Who am I supposed to believe? You? Obama? or my lying eyes?

In Leviticus, there are a variety of Jewish laws foreigners were required to obey. In other words, foreigners were required to assimilate.

Some may call them refugees. I see an all male army. And while those who call them refugees may be 90% right. Who wants 10% of a million people as terrorists in your country.

Someone should explain, why are they so male. Where are the women and children?

Someone should explain, what will these men do when they get here? Do they know the language? If not, how can they work? If they can’t work, black market (drugs, guns, prostitutes) goes up, crime goes up.

Someone should explain, are these people supposed to remain celibate. Or is there a million European women just waiting for a hot, swarthy man with no means of income and little respect for women.

Maybe these are all gay men who have been outed in Syria. The fashion and food industry are going to see more competition for each job.

> “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

The only time these atheists and globalists use the Bible is to attempt to shame Christians, and then without one iota of understanding what the Bible actually says.

And these are the FIRST people to say that the U.S. is not a Christian country. The hypocrisy is astonishing.

Christ’s mandates are for INDIVIDUALS.

The Bible is the source document for the recognition and promotion of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY.

So, atheistic globalist Colbert, how many refugees have you taken into YOUR household?

How many will you allow into your exclusive, gated community?

Stephen Colbert rips apart GOP’s anti-refugee stance by quoting Bible.

First I’m surprised that he could find a bible. Second, how many “refuges” has he invited to stay with him?

Just another liberal mouth running amok.
