Manifesto
My manifesto for January 2017.
[subject to change]
I am trying to be supportive of our new President. He's feeling his way through the gauntlet of presidential issues. I have tried to reframe my thinking so I can understand why he's making his choices.
I may not agree, but I will try to understand.
I will be open minded about his policy decisions. Many of them (hiring freeze, gag orders) are based on his need to get a handle on the current status of the government. That's what a CEO would do if he took over a company. I suspect they are temporary, and will resolve eventually.
I will encourage others to be patient when possible, and active when necessary, to help this new President understand the will of the American people. He is not a liberal. He will not set liberal policies. But some of the actions are not politically, but fiscally motivated and will have to be taken. It's part of the change that was put in place by the last election.
That being said, I believe I have the right to disagree with his policies without anyone giving me shit about it. Free country, folks.
And...I promise this. If the leader of the free world chooses to make irrational choices based on his insecurities, I may have to change my position. If he pushes too far, I will push back.
If that bothers you, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Namaste. Peace. Love.
Have a nice day.
