The Loss of Common Sense

[30-30]

                Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

                - Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
                - Why the early bird gets the worm;
                - Life isn't always fair;
                - And maybe it was my fault.

                Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

                His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

                Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

                It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

                Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

                Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

                Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

                Common Sense was preceded in death,
                -by his parents, Truth and Trust,
                -by his wife, Discretion,
                -by his daughter, Responsibility,
                -and by his son, Reason.

                He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
                - I Know My Rights
                - I Want It Now
                - Someone Else Is To Blame
                - I'm A Victim
                - Pay me for Doing Nothing

               Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

              Thanks for the article, I agree The President and all politicians have forgotten that it is the general public that puts them in office. As a whole, the
         general public is more educated than it was when our country was founded and we can make our own decisions, what is the best for us.

stonecat, I said it before and I'll say it again, obama is the biggest threat to this country, period!


30-30, our educational system has been leaning left for years... now anything that contradicts obama's secular-socialist machine is systematically being removed. Even in the general public; example, the IRS targeting conservative groups!


On another note... An Army veteran who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq said he was told by fellow student leaders at the University of Wyoming that he could not recite the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of student government meetings because it may offend the sensibilities of international students.
Number one, if it offends any foreign student, they can leave. If they are disrespectful, deport them! Number two, the student leaders, where does their allegiance lie?


God bless America

       I agree that most educators lean left, and that's because the get government handout which is a decline to out nations stability.
     


God bless America

A high school student in Connecticut doing research found conservative web site blocked on school computers. NRA was blocked, but then had no problem getting onto sites that advocate for stricter gun control laws. “right-to-life” groups were blocked, but that Planned Parenthood and Pro-Choice were available.  Christianity site blocked, but Islam site available.


It's an outrage!

Common sense was buried about 20 years ago......and politically correct took its place..... ......I HATE POLITICALLY CORRECT and wish it were buried. ...Merry Christmas.  ....I am an American......I speak English and say the Pledge of Allegiance.....I pray..... ......I believe in GOD... .....I work 50 hours a week......I pay my way......but I hate being told to be politically correct.. ....that is why I probably am alone more often than not because I do speak up.. ...oh and I have a gun to protect myself in my own home........did I say I love loons too?     

3030 you hit the nail......right on the head.......long live Common Sense and kill the political correct in USA

If the American flag is a “threat to the muslim community” they must be part of or support this jihad against America!

The manager of the Lodge on El Dorado apartments should be arrested for treason. The threatened muslims, place in protective custody at Guantanamo.
