Before You Criticize, Take That Plank Out Of Your Eye

To the Editor:
In response to the Feb. 25 letter to the editor claiming glaring falsehoods in the publisher’s column, I think the writer has a few falsehoods attached to his own comments.
He talked about big money manipulation by the Republicans, in particular, the Koch brothers. He failed to mention that George Soros and the entertainment industry pour millions of dollars into the Democratic Party. However Soros does it by creating “527” committees to bypass the McCain Feingold act in regard to making contributions. Soros created what is now known as the Shadow party. Using these committees, Soros has poured $342 million into political channels compared to $40.6 million for the Koch brothers.
The media cries fowl over the Koch brothers but gives a free pass to Soros who is a currency speculator and stockbroker who benefits greatly from his donations to various politicians.
The writer talked about unabashed political party affiliation while the writer obviously has an unabashed loyalty to the Democratic Party. He also talks about Republicans being vengeful because of criticism of Barack Obama but he makes no mention of the Bush bashing that went on for eight years from the Democrats.
Take a look at the political cartoons coming from newspapers in Europe and Canada. There is no respect for President Obama and his agenda.
Recently, John Kerry stood before the House Appropriations committee and said, “The violent conflict around the world is actually at it’s lowest point in the history of the world.” The next day, James Clapper director of National Intelligence told Senate Armed Services, “When the final accounting is done, 2014 will have been the most lethal year for global terrorism in the 45 years data has been compiled.” How can our White House be so out of touch?
In conclusion, I want to draw the writer’s attention to a verse from the Bible, Matthew 7:5.
“You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
