My response if I got this from someone that high up in my company:

Dear [jerk]:

I appreciate your passion regarding your political stances, however I do not feel that your email message is an appropriate forum for expressing them. You are in a position of power in this company and while I do not have any reason to expect that you would use that power to punish anyone for disagreeing with you, I believe it's important for someone in that position to recognize the implicit conflict you create by sending such a message. As president of this company, you act as the voice of this company, and by communicating your political views in this fashion, you are creating the impression of an "official company position."

While you express no specific recommendation or threat in your message, I hope you can understand that it risks putting undue pressure on your employees and creating an atmosphere where people can feel that their personal standing in the company is contingent on their political beliefs or actions. It is unlikely that this was your intent, but I'm sure, with your experience in the business world, you are aware that how a message is presented and how it can be perceived is just as important, if not moreso, than actual intent.

I would be happy to engage you, if you were interested, in friendly discussion/debate over the generalities you expressed in your message as I have some disagreement with your conclusions. I simply do not feel that you've expressed them in an appropriate forum.

Sincerely,
[Liberal employee who's goal is clearly to undermine our economy]
