A funny thing often happens when we accuse others and subsequently judge them. We find ourselves looking in a mirror. And in the past few days, such a reflection of hypocrisy has shone over the nation. Joe Biden, once eager to condemn his predecessor for having classified documents, has held classified documents.
But, of course, those on the Left do not have reflective mirrors. They have glass that permits viewing from one side, much like those windows in police interrogation rooms. Their side casts no reflection. Thus, with the breaking of the story of the former Vice President’s holding classified documents, little, if any coverage save defensive statements, could be found in the mainstream, and mostly leftist, media.
The problem for the Left is the same as it has always been for all of us: We are eager to cast the first stone. But we do so at the risk of exposing our hypocrisy. From Sandy Berger’s stuffing Archive documents in his pants to Hillary Clinton’s erasing an illegal server, to Biden’s “Think Tank” and another place holding classified documents, the hypocrisy is evident. And that the FBI and the Attorney General were willing to send an army of armed agents to Trump’s home but not to Biden’s reflects badly on the nation. That they took pictures inside the former President’s home but did not reveal the discovery of Biden’s stash until months after the recent election also speaks to their corruption, their hypocrisy, to their “sin.”
So, here we are, in January, 2023, with a dilemma. Are we looking through a one-way glass or into a mirror? Obviously, when we want to see ourselves as accusers and judges, we employ the one-way glass. Otherwise, we see that we are not “those without sin.”
From the Russian collusion scam through the quashing of both the Hunter Biden laptop story and Joe Biden’s holding classified documents, the Leftwing press has demonstrated its willingness to cast stones and to look through one-way glass.
Those who live in such glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. When they do, they risk breaking the glass and allowing those on the other side to see who they really are.
