I know, tell me something we don't already know, right? But I am serious. If what the Bible says is true then he is. It says so right inside in plain English, albeit a little older vernacular. I am not the most religious person but I am glad that I learned these verses because they will come in real handy the next time some self-righteous Christian winger starts to defend the wealthy not paying more taxes for the common good. Here is why I say this, courtesy Lawrence O'Donnel, after the break.
Mathew 25:31 – 32
“… and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a Shepard divideth his sheep from the goats, then shall the king say to them on his right hand, come, you blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ..
.. for I was hungry and you gave me meat, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick, and you invited me in: I was in prison and you came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, lord, when did we see you hungry, and fed you? Or thirsty, and gave you drink? When did we see you a stranger, and take you in? Or naked, and clothed you? Or when did we see you sick, or in prison and come unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, verily I say unto you, INASMUCH AS YOU HAVE DONE IT UNTO ONE OF THE LEAST OF MY BRETHREN; YOU HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME…
Depart from me you cursed ones, into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you did NOT give me meat, I was thirsty and you did NOT clothe me, sick and in prison, and you did NOT visit me, then shall they all say to him, saying, lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did NOT minister unto you? Then shall he answer them, saying verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did NOT do it for one of the least of these, you did NOT do it for me…
And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life”
So YES, according to the Bible, if it is to be believed, RUSH and his greedy F’ing ilk ARE going straight to Hell!!!! Don’t pass Go, don’t collect ANOTHER $200 million, your going to Hell!! It says so right there in Mathew 25:21-32
Never mind what Mark 10:17 says…
“What shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
Or what Mark 10:21 says…
“Go and sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven”
Or Mark 10:23 that says
“and Jesus, looking around, said to his disciples, “how hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God”
Never again will the faux Christian Right be able to feed me their bullshit again!!!!!

I have to give credit to Lawrence ODonnell, his show on 4/25 was one of the best by anyone I have seen. I do miss Kieth O. But I am also glad that Lawrence is very capable as well.
