Me and Steven Colbert don't always agree...
but I've go to admit he's got an excellent point here.
I will say, people need to attempt to help themselves and not expect to be given everything; however, Jesus didn't command us to ask questions then do what we can to help people to the extent that we aren't inconvenienced, He just commands to show His love to everyone. Yes, that means everyone, not just who we think deserves it.
and for the record, admiting that we don't want to do it would be waaay better than bringing shame to the image of Christ.
This is just my opinion. Take it or leave it.

Jesus also didn't call us to be enablers, and is more concerned with our hearts and our souls than our pocketbooks or our big screen TVs.
That being said, I think looking at the bank statements of people like Colbert compared to the average southerner, or average Christian, and I think you're likely to find the very hypocrisy they are constantly accusing Christians of.
Are Christians perfect? No, that's why we need Jesus. We're a work in progress.
That being said, that doesn't make this liberal nut-job's pontificating any more than it is -- class warfare and anti-Christian rhetoric with what more often than not is inaccurate when you look at a lot of people's pocketbooks.
If he's going to then throw this whole anti-Christian rhetoric in there as well, then he would be well-advised to remember that America *IS* after all proven time and again to be the #1 most generous citizenship in the world in scientific studies of donations by people groups, etc.
Why do these people ignore facts and assume that everyone else is just like they are? It's sad.
