There is a saying "Judge Not Least You Be Judged"...

I have been reading posts that have been put up by those who want to oppose one political opponent or another. In those posts I have seen blatant lies being repeated over and over again. Does the person who posted them ever stop to check the facts of what they are posting?

Most of what I post of my writings are about myself not about someone else. Any of you who have stopped by and read any of my stuff you will see a few poems, some ramblings about my personal life and what I think about late at night. Other postings have been and are about photography which is a great part of my life and working with photos in Photoshop.

I have just read too many postings lately about politics which make me wonder where that persons reasoning came from other than from the hate files of some hack who cares not what they do to the reputation of a man or woman who has gone beyond a mistake they made when they were much younger. They drege up old mistakes to sling mud at an opponent not because that man or woman did anything wrong but because they want to win an election not on their merits but upon destorying another's reputaion. They can not win on the issues since they have not done anything to fix or have a record that will say they did what was right. Nor say what they would or will do to fix the problems of today when their opponent is saying what he or she would do to fix it. No they want to destroy others not build up this country. They want power not to correct but to continue the same old behind the scenes destruction of this country even though their mouths spout words to the contrary.

Below is a comment I added to one posting after seeing so many people's condemnation of a man who once made a mistake. They do not know this man other than what the hack from some back room has misrepresented about him today. They do not take the time to find out if that man has done anything to correct, apologize, and serve time for his wrong. They jump to the conclusion that once he did wrong then he has not changed since that wrong was done. That he is unrepentant. That he is still a terrorist and association with him makes you a terrorist sympathizer. That even talking with the man makes you dirty and unclean.

I'm ashamed of my fellow citizens of this country where once you were innocent until proven guilty. Now you are convicted before you are given the chance of being judged before a jury. The problem is that what this man is still being condemned for, he can not stand before a judge or jury and convince them he is innocent of being who he once was. Even though he has not done any crimes that I know of since he was a youth he is still being convicted and judged for crimes he committed when he was a youth. "Once a criminal always a criminal" is how you are saying that is how it has to be and is.

In some ways I'm just as glad I live alone and do not come in contact with others all that much any longer. When I see my fellow citizens condemn a man for just being in the room with someone else it makes me sick. They are so perfect that they have never had contact with a criminal, they have never talked with someone who was a terrorist, and they have never done one thing against the law. Give me a break!

My comment on that posting:

I give up...people do not want to believe a person can change from what their life was when they were young...I'm just glad you are not the judges of this country deciding who should be free and who should not be free.

I was a cop and yes I locked up many people who were criminals some never could be rehabilitated but some who use their brains could and were rehabilitated and live lives which are honorable but then there are people who think once you have done a crime you are always a criminal. Those who accuse Ayers of being a terrorist if you never broke one law then cast that stone but if it broke one law you are guilty for the rest of your life as well. See in your way of thinking that is how you are seen by others.

Now you want to associate Obama as a terrorist since he met with a man who once was called a domestic terrorist. A man who changed his life, who has a family, who is a teacher but yet you want to condemn that man for the rest of his life for doing something that at the time to him was right to fight against what he saw as a wrong. Yes, how it fought against that wrong was also wrong. But you want to label the man and destroy all the years he has been a good citizen as nothing. You sicken me with our righteous babbling about him being a terrorist. You should be ashamed of your selves for your talk and I would bet you consider your selves to be good citizens.

You do not care what you are doing to a man who has gone on from what as a youth he did that was wrong. That is like condemning me as having been a cop for another cop having done wrong. Just stop and think what you would feel like if you had corrected, apologized and served your time for the wrong and no one would give you another chance to live a decent life.

But then I do not expect you to even read this nor to think about what you are doing. You judge someone without even knowing that person nor even trying to get to know them. I see so many misstatements of facts that if you were accused of them how would you feel especially if they were false, if they were out right lies???

Give me a break, how many I asked of you who have never done a wrong? How many of you have never broken one law? How many of you have condemned without even taking the time to find out the truth behind your condemnation? Judge yourself first then if you are free of any wrongs throw your stones but remember this one day you too will have to answer for your injustices in one way or another.

I realize this is just my own opinion but are there not others out there like me who are saddened by people just posting things without even trying to find out if what they post is true or not?
