I do hope this will not come to be a real fact, and acted upon.

One of my exceptionally bright students sent me the following link to a website with the following message:

"I thought this was a pretty interesting article, it has a bunch of links to other articles that talk about the questions that no one reports."
I wish that more folks would actually practice what is in the Bible they preach so strongly about. I sent back a reply to all including the OP.
I cannot believe that this kind of ignorance, bigotry and hatred is still being perpetuated. Its so very sad and part of why our society is in the state it is in today.
Exodus 20:16
You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Exodus 23:1
Do not spread false reports. Do not help a wicked man by being a malicious witness.
Proverbs 6:19
A false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
Proverbs 19:5
A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will not go free.
Judge the man upon the things he actually has done. Not Internet rumors and racist stereotypes. Make opinions based upon facts, not fiction.
Until some one is found guilty of something you don't convict or vilify them for it. At least that is what the whole concept of this Country's legal system is based upon, and that of the Christian faith.
Luke 6:31
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Matthew 7:12
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Leviticus 19:15
Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.
Judges 11:27
I have not wronged you, but you are doing me wrong by waging war against me. Let the LORD, the Judge.
Matthew 7:1-2
Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Like it or not Barack Obama is our president for the next 4 years. We should all be doing our best to support him (or any new president for that matter) to get this country back in line. Its a huge undertaking, and it will take the efforts of all Americans.
Lincoln said it aptly, "A house divided against itself cannot stand," so let us try to work together instead of tearing each other apart.
If he actually does something wrong, then let the attack dogs pounce. But until that point, keep the dogs of war in the pens.

You tell them! I was at an appointment recently when something was said to me that was so outrageous... I was utterly stunned. So I quipped back the actual fact, along with something similar to what you have said. This intelligent, or what I thought was an intelligent, kind man couldn't believe I wasn't agreeing with him. The stuff he said was just so.... it's hard to look at someone the same way.
Maybe if we all speak out when confronted with something like this, instead of silently steaming or being saddened at the ignorance, there will be a bigger shift. I dunno.
Peace, love, and good happiness stuff!
