I used to be a huge liberal…and so understandably, many of my friends and acquaintances from before my big “conversion” are very liberal.
That’s fine with me.
I make a point to get along with everyone. While many of my former “friends” no longer want anything to do with me, I truly value those who have been accepting. One of my very best friends is in the very THICK of it- she lives in DC and is pretty liberal herself. We make fun of each other, but it’s always with love.
And in professional settings? Well… it’s my opinion that politics shouldn’t ever play a role in it. I’ll treat you professionally and I expect the same from you. The end.
Apparently, James Woods’ manager doesn’t feel that way.
James shared an email he received from him on the Fourth of July:
So this email from my agent (a political liberal) today… pic.twitter.com/RLXUWi9no8

Nothing says “I’m feeling patriotic” quite like dropping your client for not marching in lock-step with a liberal agenda, am I right?
How DARE he express his own opinions?
James shared his response:
My response: “Dear Ken, I don’t actually. I was thinking if you’re feeling patriotic, you would appreciate free speech and one’s right to think as an individual. Be that as it may, I want to thank you for all your hard work and devotion on my behalf. Be well.” https://t.co/nEe8OMaWb2

Good for him. He was obviously the much bigger man in this situation.
In the face of constant liberal vitriol… we should all consider doing the same.
