I want to make very, very sure I’m not misunderstood. That my position is crystal clear. That there are no misinterpretations.

I hold to no political party, no political platform, no political ideology. I am not politically correct. I hold doors open for the people behind me, male or female. I honestly don’t care what sexual equipment you were born with, what continent your ancestors were born on, or what language you speak in your home. I don’t care who you sleep with. Assault me and I’ll clean your clock so hard that you’ll remember me every time you look in a mirror for the rest of your life – male or female.

I believe male and female are not equal in all things, but that there is a wide overlap of strengths; male or female, everyone deserves the same opportunities to find and develop their individual strengths, and the same opportunity to succeed at them. Whatever they are, corporate, political, blue-collar, artistic, whatever.

I believe there is only one race – the human race. The rest is all superficial, and societal. Pigmentation of the epidermis is no indicator of talent, ability, or worth.

And I despise the extremism that is rampant in our country today, fed and encouraged by a media more interested in creating controversy (and advertising dollars) than it is in actually informing the public.

In short, I have learned to think for myself. To form my opinions based on fact, not on what some flavor-of-the-moment talking head tells me to think. I will vote for people who hold those values, and for measures that support everyone and do not discriminate against – or in favor of – superficials.

So if I say something complimentary of Donald Trump, don’t jump to the conclusion that I wear a red baseball cap and glory in his every press release. Quite the contrary, in fact… But I will be honest and give credit where due.

Likewise, if I’m complimentary of something Biden does, it’s because he deserves the praise. Granted, it hasn’t happened yet, but if it does and I say something, it doesn’t mean I’m glad he’s President. Nothing could be further from the truth, actually…

Any questions?
