Stephen Colbert teaches Marine to be a pundit, with Michelle Obama

Unlike the past where it has been only an underlying theme, this coming election election is going to have front and center how we perceive government in our lives. Is it to serve the common good? Or to only serve only the unfettered accumulation of individual wealth and property?

It can be seen as communism versus fascism. Socialism versus Social Darwinism. Altruism versus selfishness. All of which I am sure pundits from both sides will run with. Sure it’s understandable that bankers, Wall Street, and the Country Club Republicans are what the are, but what tries my soul is that the core of American religion, the Evangelical movement, the FAITH BASED – the followers of Jesus Christ – are in bed with them.

Religion should not be about smashing the gas petal to the floor for the callous selfish disregard centered in Republican politics, but to put th brakes on it. American Christianity has become the politics of intolerance, bigotry and greed, the very opposite of what it should be.
