It's About Karma and Stones

The theologies of the world’s religions try and teach us to be better humans, but more often than not they fail miserably because we can’t get past the fact we crave attention and power.  Let’s think about that for a bit, shall we?

The religions of India detail a cause and effect relationship with one’s actions.  Good acts in the current life will have a positive outcome in the next, while bad acts will likely have a negative impact.  One’s future, therefore, depends on acting in a positive and affirming nature but as we see in the world around us, despite all the cliché examples of good or bad Karma, we humans will act out of a need for short-term gain without consideration of the potential adverse outcomes our actions might generate.

In Christianity, we find the story of Jesus and the temple courts (John, Chapter 8, versus 1-8).  A woman stood accused of adultery - under Hebrew law her punishment was death by stoning.  The scribes and Pharisees, attempting to corner Jesus is some act of heresy, questioned him on what they should do to the woman, and asked him to approve of the stoning.  Jesus response silenced the elders when he directed that whoever was without sin should throw the first stone.  Everyone knew there was no one without sin, so they were at a stalemate.  He then questioned the woman and released her with the direction to “go and sin no more.”

These examples serve only to preface the hilarity of today’s political world, where people who have little or no real morality are empowered to tell the rest of the world how things must be.

This past fall we saw the Democratic Senators, and their propaganda arm known as the mainstream media (i.e. ABCNNBCBS and MSNBC), attempt to destroy the reputation and approval of the administration’s nomination to the Supreme Court.  Every talking head, including the empty ones on “The View” and “Morning Joe,” set out to vilify the nominee based on unsupported accusations from his high school years.  At the end of the day “Spartacus Booker” Diane Feinstein, and “For the People, Harris” were unable to overcome the nomination, mostly because of the Karma that came from the decisions of the previous Congress where the Democratic party leadership chose to change the rules for what it took to block a nomination. 

Now we have the circus of the Virginia state government, which seems to be imploding after their less than courageous (I would suggest non-humanitarian) decision to support post-birth (okay really, really, late-term) abortion.  Remarkably, the Governor and Attorney General have been proven, by current DNC standards. to be racist while the Lieutenant Governor stands accused of being a sexual assaulter by another Ph.D.  In the past, the Democratic position was these sins must be accepted and the politicans stoned until they resign.

This presents an interesting dilemma for the party’s propaganda arm as they struggle to find the Republican who must really be the bad guy in this.  Fortunately, they’ve found a link to the next in line (State Senator Thomas K. Norment, Jr.) which can be used to suggest he too is a racist.  So, there may actually be no one who is not a racist or rapist in Virginia capable of running the state.  I can only imagine what the historically racist figures of the DNC would think of their party as it is embroiled in the social warfare the left has chosen as its battleground.

I also wonder if they will ever come to understand that attempting to destroy their opposition through ad hominin attack will most certainly come back to haunt them at some point.  As the bible said, “let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”

Or to put it in modern political terms.  “I’m rubber, you’re glue; whatever you say bounces off me and sticks on you!”
