Can you be honest and objective?

benchdg2

I’ve been told by a number of people that were I to share my philosophies and opinions, not only would there be interest, but I would get a lot of participation in the discussion.  So this is my first attempt at doing so.  I will make it brief. Rather than giving a long explanation of why I feel how I feel I will instead make my point and see where it goes from there.

I believe the biggest problem existing in today’s American politics is the inability for many people to form their own opinion.  Too many people follow the narrative dictated by the side of the aisle they have chosen, rather than look at the situation objectively and come up with an unpopular, more centrist position.  Can you hate how Donald Trump behaves while still acknowledging he has done some things right?  Can you appreciate the accomplishments of Barack Obama while questioning his treatment toward Israel before he left office?  Can you apply equal standards to all leaders regardless of whether or not you support them? Can you discuss these issues without it being obvious what side of the aisle you are on? These are some of the questions I pose and hope to get responses to without imposing restrictions other than the expectation that there be no personal attacks on others in the thread.

I will not be moderating this discussion but I will chime in whenever I have the opportunity.

I look forward to hearing your opinions on these and other issues. Whether I agree with you or not
