Common sense is what people in common would agree: that which they sense in common as their common natural understanding. Some use the phrase to refer to beliefs or propositions that in their opinion they consider would in most people's experience be prudent and of sound judgment, without dependence upon esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what is believed to be knowledge held by people "in common", (NOTE: excerpt taken from Wikipedia)

So where is the common sense in the following examples? Where is the strict compliance to our sacred constitutional principles that stand between us and enslavement? Constitutional principles that we hold in common, as the bed rock of our commons sense.

1. Borders that allow anyone who wants to enter into the United States illegally with no consequences and in fact with significant benefits for doing so, offered by our government, using our money, with the promise of amnesty for breaking our laws?

2. The U. S. Congress ratifying the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) that would essentially yield our very sovereignty to a foreign power, or powers? [NOTE: Be sure to read the article sent to us from the international attorney on trades and standards, Lawrence Kogan.]

3. The U. S. House passing a bill into law that would turn over to the federal government, power over any and every wet spot in America under HB 2142, the so-called Clean Water Restoration Act?

4. The blatant propaganda by government, the media and a covey of national and international scientists over the dubious, if not trumped up, crisis of man-caused global warming?

5. College audiences that would applaud the President of a fascist government (Iran) and boo the founder of the Minute Man project, Jim Gilchrist, or other freedom-minded speakers. (Columbia University) Many college kids are now acting like Hitler's brown shirts, egged on by liberal college ideologies.

6. Halloween costumes for early teen girls that exploit their bodies and advance their sexuality way beyond their years, much of it while parents watch in silence?

7. Politicians and government agencies that lie and distort the truth to get our money for mega construction projects that bring a whole new meaning to cost overruns? (i.e. Boston's Big Dig and Seattle's Sound Transit, etc., etc., etc.) [NOTE: For those of you in the Seattle-Tacoma area of Washington State, Sound Transit (a government-run light rail agency) has spent close to three quarters of a million dollars in legal and other fees, taking a property they don't need by eminent domain from a Ken and Barbara Miller, so they don't have to pay the Miller's fair market value for it and reimburse them for their legal expenses. It's a very long and sad story and one that has now cost the Miller's close to $400,000. The story is not over.]

8. Environmental regulations with their origins coming from the United Nations, including Agenda 21, smart growth, sustainable development policies and endangered species and so-called clean water laws that have now rendered constitutional safeguards and guarantees all but irrelevant?

9. The outlandish brainwashing and indoctrination of our K-12 and college-age children. Or how about government (schools) handing out birth control pills to 11-year old girls without parental consent?

10. Politicians and judges who swear on solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States, so help them God, and then go out and violate that oath every damn day?

11. Certain fairly noisy individuals and large groups in America that blame America first for everything and run down our faiths, our honor, our laws, our traditions, our values and our virtues?

12. Legislatures that pass law, after law, after law, without any test of consequences or side effects, or how new laws are to mesh with old laws without conflict and contradiction? Laws that waste billions of our tax dollars without a reasonable and meaningful cost-benefit. Laws that hungry lawyers get to argue over for decades because they are the only ones that can understand them, so they say.

13. Government using eminent domain for other than a true government purpose?

14. Federal, state and local activist courts that MAKE law instead of interpreting law, pursuant to our constitution?

15. Government handouts and subsidies to individuals and entities that are fully capable of taking care of themselves. (Welfare, farm subsidies, etc., etc., etc.)

16. Political correctness that has literally gone berserk.

17. Airports that treat everyone as if they were a terrorist.

The list goes on and on and on and yet even though most of the people know that none of the above events, activities and injustices meet the test of common sense, still they rage on and get worse, while we look the other way. Thousands upon thousands of Americans are getting beat up by their government and hardly anyone lifts a finger to help them. Frankly, it is hard for us to imagine why any American would just stand by and do nothing, as freedom and liberty crumble all around them.

But don't take our word for it. Watch Glenn Beck on CNN Headline News each night at 6 PM, Pacific Time. He explains it all in living color with guests that know that the death of common sense has become a living reality.

[Editor's Note: Frankly, I've got a much better idea than watching TV. Start taking personal responsibility for your own life and that of your children.

1. Move out of the city, or the suburbs - regardless of the cost or inconvenience. The cities and immediate environs will soon be a death trap.

2. Learn self defense and buy the tools needed to protect yourself and your family! Network with others of like mind and form mutual aid groups.

3. Stop feeding the beast in every way possible. Buy used, car pool, do what you can to reduce what the overseers steal from you! Grow your own food or buy from local small farmers. Learn to live without all the highly processed and pre-prepared "food" and endless junk that now dominates the markets. Simplify your life and you'll pay far fewer taxes, save a lot of money and improve your health among other things.

4. Stop asking for or accepting government handouts in any form. Yes, you still have to drive on the roads and call the fire department in an emergency, but give some real thought to how many "services" you accept and realize that they are paid for with the money and land stolen from YOU and all of your neighbors. This includes getting your children out of government ruined, tax theft supported prison/indoctrination centers and providing them with a real education, one way or another.

5. Get rid of the TV and be very selective about where you get your news and information. The popular media is almost pure propaganda and not a good basis for sound decisions. Learn the truth! Don't settle for anything else.

If you are not willing to accept personal responsibility for yourself and do the hard work of eliminating as much government from your life as possible, starting right NOW, then perhaps you are a part of the problem. Nobody else can do it for you.]
