This particular banter was triggered by Congressman Jim McDermott's, “This is Christmas time. We talk about good Samaritans, the poor, the little baby Jesus in the cradle and all this stuff. And then we say to the unemployed we won’t give you a check to feed your family. That’s simply wrong.”
Beginning with that and throughout the back-and-forth the comments reflect the mindset of many of those in the USA and our propensity to misuse (and misunderstand) Scripture to support our personal bent. It's worth reading Rosenthal's notes.
