The Trump Dump

One Bloke's Pragmatic, Prophetic, Pontifical & Poetical
Perspective on People, Piety & Politics

I gain enlightenment by engaging and exploring alternative points of view, form opinions and convictions empirically, and tender my perspectives without apology. They are merely what I believed to be true at a given point in time. Nothing for anyone to get their panties in a knot over. Hell, who knows, I might feel differently about it next week. That’s how it works when you continue to grow.

Sometime in 2016, as Donald Trump’s political shenanigans transpired in Washington, long-dormant emotions and sensibilities awakened in me. I felt compelled to engage, and even though I was an adult, I was reluctant to voice my opinion because I was afraid that, if pressed, I couldn’t back it up and I didn’t want to assert my ignorance. ;-)
I found that writing about stuff, forced me to ponder it and gain a better understanding of it. After all my contemplations and filtering of legalities, morality, and ethics, I had informed opinions and actual convictions. I felt ready to be part of the discussion.

I have a broad and abiding regard for embracing diversity and inclusion, the import of the phrase “you do you”, a practical (pun intended) appreciation for the premise “I’m Ok, You’re Ok” and the precepts “Do No Harm” and “Leave No Trace”.

I don’t categorize myself as a Democrat, Republican, Liberal, or Conservative but merely a thoughtful and sympathetic patriotic capitalist who believes that health is fundamental to both life and the pursuit of happiness, that liberty should be color-blind, and that big business will never think beyond next quarters earnings report to put our countries best interest ahead of their bottom line. Protecting our environment or even their consumers is paradoxically secondary.
Oops, I think that makes me a liberal.
