    Republicans on Sunday: “The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these. -Mark 12:31“

    Republicans on every other day: “Look at all these neighbors that look and act differently from me! I will continue to love them as myself while they are in a slum prison for daring to think they could be me!

    So much for those “Judeo-Christian” ideals:

    You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

    -Exodus 22:21

    The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt…

    -Leviticus 19:34

    Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

    -Deuteronomy 10:19

    One would think if three of the first five books of both the “Judeo” and “Christian” Bibles repeat the same instruction, it’s probably important.
