My Daddy's Common Sense

Is common sense no more?

LET’S TRY THIS ONE MORE TIME!!!!!

Well folks, the one more time concerns me trying to explain immigration to you thru “COMMON SENSE”.  I know that for a lot of people here in the “GOOD OLE USA” because they do not have it that sometimes my simple “COMMON SENSE” stuff just flies right over their heads.  But, it is so simple that I just have to try once again so here goes.

All we have to do is 3 things to start to resolve this immigration problem.  Number 1, close the border and stop the bleeding.  Once you do stop the bleeding, so to speak, then you can move and maybe start number 2/3 at the same time but you have to solve the broken border.  Number 2, stop and I mean stop the “anchor baby” thing—it was never meant to be used the way it is being used.  It was to make citizens of children born here to families that were brought here during slavery.  Along with this stop all “freebies” for non-citizens.  Number 3, fine anyone hiring those here “illegally” 10k a head for each one found being in their employ.  Now before a lot of you “liberal bastards” scream at me about human rights let me inform you that I too am concerned about “human rights” but were I draw the line is I am concerned about the “human rights” of AMERICANS first.  After we get our own house in order then and only then, when we have extra funds, will we worry about the others.

Number 1 will slowly reduce the “inflow” giving us a chance to make changes to the system, such as 2/3 to help resolve the problem.  If you do not stop the “inflow,” we might never get a handle on this ever-growing problem.  If we have less people to fill the jobs, it means wages will rise and Americans will have more jobs from which to choose.  This effect will also be noticed when we start to solve numbers 2 and 3.

Number 2 will do away with a huge part of our welfare dollars.  An “anchor baby” can be on the welfare rolls its entire live.  By stopping this one program, you remove a large draw for women to come here to have their babies.  Along the border, they come to a hospital here and then return to just across the border into Mexico but they get a mail box number for the welfare check for the baby.  The first of each month they simply cross the bridge get the check from the mail box, do their shopping and return home to Mexico with the products.  WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY!!!!!  Each and every morning of the week the children cross the bridge, board a school bus to deliver them to school for free education along with “FREE” breakfast and lunch.  WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY!!!!!  This nonsense has got to stop.  If we remove the “freebies” from the system, it will act as a deterrent but also lead to “self deportation”.  With less people to do the jobs, the wages will automatically rise thus doing away with the issue of “minimum wage”.  Now follow me here as it is a little tricky.  The liberals have removed the obstacles to allow “illegal immigration” which drove down wages and then screamed how evil the “conservatives” are for wanting lower wages when it was their policies that caused the problem in the first place.  WHAT AN UNDERHANDED DEAL!!!!!

Number 3 is to fine employers who hire “illegals”, as mentioned, 10k ahead.  It will then be cheaper for them to hire Americans and pay a better wage.  As little as 15 years ago, I remember a guy here that employed “illegals” to build fences and he had to have them lay down in the backseat when moving from job to job to keep the border agents from stopping him and sending the “illegals” back and issuing him a fine.  But now the “illegals” have their own truck and driver’s license.  We, as a country, simply must stop the madness.

None of this is to try to harm “illegals” but to simply help our country and its citizens.  It just makes “COMMON SENSE” to do so.

P.S.   If you own anything the powers to be will tell you to purchase “silver and gold” to protect what you have.  But, I have found a much better “precious metal” to hedge your bet and to protect your possessions.  WAIT FOR IT!!!!!  It is lead as in “AMMO”. Laugh if you will, but it will become very important and it will be of great value.  Now that makes “COMMON SENSE”.

 

I EARNED EVERY DIME —S.S. IS NOT A GOVERNMENT BENEFIT!!!!!

The government has decided to call Social Security a “government benefit” which it is not.  I  earned every dime I get which was deducted from my pay for over forty years. Now, the fools in our government have decided that what I get is a hand-out.  This bunch of crooks do not realize that it is my money they are returning to me.  It should have been earning interest all these years; but. these crooked SOB’s never put the money to work or at least they did not pay us any interest on the money they stole and used for other projects.  I, for one, am tired of these “money changers” and will do everything in my power to expose what crooks they really are.  This is not a really long blog. But, it being short in no way diminishes the importance of the subject.  We, as citizens, have to stand up and stop allowing these “crooks” to run “rough shod” over us. The following is an e-mail that I noticed and thought it should get as much exposure as possible.  Hope you let this “sink in” for a while and then pass it on to everyone you know.  This example is very enlightening and everyone should be made aware of the inner workings of the system.  If they, the government, had only invested the funds the way they should have, there would never have been a “short fall”.  Just the opposite, as we, the retired folks, would be “living large”.

Subject: Federal Benefit Payment
 
 
NEW SS CHECKS
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a *Federal Benefit Payment*?
 
I’ll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you.
 
Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
 
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a “Federal Benefit Payment.” This isn’t a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
 
If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that’s close to $180,000 invested in Social Security.
 
If you calculate the future value of your monthly invest-ment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you’d have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved!
 
This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you’d receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.
 
That’s almost three times more than today’s average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact).
 
And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you’re 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.
 
Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger *Ponzi scheme* than Bernie Madoff ever did.
 
They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn’t have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn’t pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they’ve told us that the money won’t support us for very much longer. (Isn’t it funny that they NEVER say this about welfare payments?)
 
But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they’re calling it a *benefit*, as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
 
Just because they borrowed the money doesn’t mean that our investments were a charity!
 
Let’s take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
 
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it.
 
They are not even giving us the annual raise this year.   Don’t tell us the cost of living is NOT going up and up  ! ! ! !
1
Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
 
99% of people won’t forward this. Will you?
 
You can bet I WILL!!!

Now that you have read and thought about the information, hopefully, you can use “COMMON SENSE” and see that it has been a scam.  People have gone to jail and served years in prison for much fewer crimes.  It is time for the American people to open their eyes and use the “COMMON SENSE” GOD gave you and put a stop to these corrupt politicians.  To do so only makes “COMMON SENSE”.

THE WHITE HOUSE IN BED WITH MEDIA OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!

Hey America, have you any idea what the relationship between the WH and the media is or how deep it goes?  Everyone that I know says, “the media is in bed with the WH or the democratic party”.  Well, folks, they just do not realize how true a statement that is.  No one in their right mind could even think that “what is going on is going on”.  We have a situation happening now that is beyond belief.  The democrats and the WH are like a pack of wild animals “jumping everyone’s bones”.  The media has ingrained itself within the WH so strongly that most Americans will be surprised.  The entire system of “free press” has been “put to bed” so to speak.  The media has its tentacles in so many areas of the WH that it is amazing.  The entire system has been corrupted by nepotism.  Folks, it was never meant to be this way.  The following list will surprise you to say the least.  This nepotism, I feel, is what is causing a lot of our problems in our government today. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Now isn’t this a fine “how do you do”?  It is “who is sleeping with who,” literally; and “who is scratching who’s back”; and who is saying, “I’ll vote your way on this one if you will vote my way on that one, brother”. Folks, we the American people, are being sold out.  We are being taken for a train ride and we do not have any idea. Until now!!! If we allow this to continue then we deserve whatever it is they, the liberals, serve up.  We as conservative people have been so busy making a ” living ” that we have allowed these “liberal bastards” to move into the “people’s house” and it is going to be hard to evict them.  If we, as conservatives, do not stand up; then, the “LBs” will continue to force feed us “CHIT sandwiches” for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The least the “LBs” could do is to put some “mayo” on it; but, no, they think it is “great sport” to watch us choke it down dry.  Dryer than a “popcorn fart” I might add.  It only makes good “COMMON SENSE” to stand up and help stop the madness, But, if not, all I can say to you is, “ENJOY YOUR SANDWICH” and please brush your teeth or at least take a mint.

NOW, CHECK THIS OUT FOR “COMMON SENSE” !!!!!

Hey folks, I was checking my e-mails this morning and noticed a few things that I felt needed to be mentioned in reference to “COMMON SENSE”.

The first was the firing of the officer who removed a student from the classroom for causing a disturbance. The officer, although maybe a little aggressive, was only doing his job and what the school requested.  This makes no “Common Sense” as this now tells the “inmates” that they are in charge of the asylum.  It sends the complete opposite message of what should be sent by the school.  Punish the officer not the student? My daddy would be “rolling over in his grave” as many “old timers” would be. Just think about this for a while and let it sink in, folks.

Then I saw where the press is badgering Donald Trump for being an “ego maniac” because he has someone prepare and present him with anything written about him in the press.  They, the press, saw this as very weird.  It just shows they, the press, have no “Common Sense” and know nothing about running a big business.  It makes perfectly good “COMMON SENSE” to be informed before starting your business day. I mentioned above that I noticed these items to be discussed as I was checking my e-mails which is during the time I spend preparing for “MY” business day. Neither, Donald nor myself, want to hit the streets unprepared to handle what comes our way. Let me tell you, “ALL SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO THE SAME THING”. It is just the right way to conduct business.  I was never aware that “THE DONALD” was following my lead, but so be it.

The third thing, but not in last place for any reason, is the fact that “fool-in-chief ” has decided to prohibit federal agencies to inquire about an applicants “criminal history”.  Folks, if you do not see the problem with this, then you are the problem.  What if they have been convicted of being a “spy”.  Wouldn’t that be something the government should know about a person they are considering for a position.  It is said that kids and for that matter adults also learn from the consequences of their mistakes; but, here the fool is allowing them to escape the consequences of their criminal past.  It just shows how out of touch this “muslim-in-chief” (he will have a big conversion the year after he gets out of office) really is.  Or, is it just another leg of the stool that he is trying to install people in our government that we would stop if we were informed ????? Really makes you wonder if this “fool” is this stupid or if it his way of fooling the American public and putting people in positions of power to help destroy this nation. Stop and ask yourself if this makes any “COMMON SENSE”.  If you decide it is OK, then I guess I am wasting my time with this blog as you are beyond help.

Remember, “COMMON SENSE” may be in short supply; but, it will never go out of style.  It is what “THE DONALD” and I use everyday in conducting business.  It has been successful for us both although a little more so for “THE DONALD”.  Always remember that I run my corporation the same as he does or as does GM; the only difference is that I use smaller numbers.

THE GREAT SOCIETY—WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP !!!!!

Sometime in the 60’s this fellow, LYNDON JOHNSON, passed the bill known as establishing “The Great Society”.  It was to help remove poverty from the country but it has only ingrained poverty instead of removing it. We as a country have spent trillions of dollars and the poverty rate is basically unchanged. What a waste.  Another failure of a democratic idea.  They are such fools. The only thing the program has accomplished is to destroy in large part the black families and the Hispanic families to the point that few fathers stay in the home to help raise the kids. This in turn has caused them to be more irresponsible and to lay around and not work and to get involved in drugs.

I was watching the program JOHNNY CASH, the rebel the other night and it showed him in the prisons putting on shows for the prisoners.  This was also sometime in the 60’s and guess what it showed as they scanned the audience.  Most of the prisoners were white.  Hardly no blacks or Hispanics. Isn’t that funny because today the prisons are mostly blacks and Hispanics.  Now you tell me what has changed.  In case you do not have the “COMMON SENSE” to figure it out let me help you.  You see, as I mentioned above, “the great society” tore families apart thus throw many families into poverty.  The fathers became worthless members of society, sold dope and when caught went to prison.  We can all thank the democratic party for all this chaos.  It has been their polices that have lead us to where we are today.  The “black families” of yesteryear were hard working closely knit religious families.  Yes they were maybe on the poor side but they were great people with great morals and ethics.  The same can be said for the earlier Hispanic population.  We have taken great peoples and turned them into welfare slaves and wards of the state.  We have done them no favors.  It is a tragedy what has become of these people all because the democrats wanted to enslave them for votes.  These people have simply been moved from the plantation of yesteryear to government plantations of today, “THE PROJECTS”.  You tell me if you think they are better off or happier than years before.  I think not and it is “COMMON SENSE” that tells me that.

As stated the democrats, particularly “LYNDON JOHNSON” are to blame but the other party has to bare a portion of the blame for letting this happen.  We, as a country, elected and gave the HOUSE and the SENATE to the Republicans and they have not done squat.  We need to remove all democrats and any republican that has not preformed and leans to the middle from their position and never allow them to hold office again.  The republicans of today like Boehner and McConnell are nothing more than democrats with an R behind their name.  Both are worthless as “TITS ON A BORE HOG” and it only makes “COMMON SENSE” for them to be removed. Tell me what you think.

I know this will bring a lot of grieve my way but all who know me personally know I do not give a “rats ass” as I am going to tell the truth even when it hurts.  Just remember this and that I said it, “we do not need or wouldn’t need all these laws we have and what a wonderful place this would be if we all just lived by the ten laws given us from the mount”.  I know some will disagree but I do not give a damn what they think. “COMMON SENSE” tells me I”m right, so be it.

FOLLOW THE LAW !!!!!

Hey Folks, I’m at it again.  I just read where some Texas counties are denying babies of illegals birth certificates.

Good for Texas and these counties.  It needs to be done every where to stop the inflow of illegals coming here to have their child just to get citizenship.  Most every one then files for all kinds of “freebies” to be paid for by the taxes that you and I pay.  This is not just about the illegals from south of the border as there are companies in California set up “hotels” for illegals to fly in from around the world just for this purpose.  It is a strin on our tax system which must be stopped.  The illegals on the border live just across and get a post office box to receive the checks, do their shopping and take it all back to Mexico.  Every morning the kids from Mexico walk across the border, get on a school bus, go to our schools for free breakfast, lunch and education classes  then the bus takes them back to the bridge and they return to Mexico.  WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY !!!!!  They are laughing at us behind our backs and call us “STUPID GRINGOS” which we are.  It is a stupid system and needs to be stopped but good luck.  They have now appointed two illegals to the city council in one town in California.  Does that make any sense at all.  All COMMON SENSE has been lost from a large part of our populace.  Do you think any city or town in Mexico would let me serve and have a say in how the town was run.  Do you think that Mexico would allow for my kids to cross the border to free load off their system.  Mexico has a “bird nest on the ground” and we are paying the rent, food and educating their kids.  The Mexican men always talk of “machismo” but the Mexican men of today and in that area allowing this to go on are sorry, lazy deadbeat and not really men at all.

Some have said that if we stopped the practice of “ANCHOR BABIES” we would be breaking the law by not following the constitution.  That may very well be true but were are all those same sorry POS liberals when Colorado breaks the laws on dope.  And where are those same sorry POS liberals when it comes to several hundreds of ” sanctuary cities”.  They all approve of breaking the law when they like the process.  So you see, the case law has been established so just quit giving “birth rights to the babies of illegals along with fining every employer 10K for each and every illegal working for them and watch the flow of illegals drop over night.  Just do these two things and the problem will solve itself.  No “birth rights”, no freebies and no work and the illegals will all stay home.  After all the “freebies” we furnish them they still have a Mexican flag in front of most of the places they live and it “burns my ass”.  If we are putting a roof over your head, food in your belly and educating your kids, which Mexico wouldn’t do, you would think the ignorant fools would think  twice before flying the flag of the country that forced you to leave.  If we and they could make just these few changes along with the illegals trying to learn “ENGLISH” for god’s sake everything would get better for them and us at the same time.  “COMMON SENSE” should tell them that if you can not speak to help my customers then I can not hire you.

I know I will get a lot of flack from a bunch of “liberal POS” but I don’t care.  All that I have mentioned is nothing more than “COMMON SENSE”  to which none of them have access.  It is a shame that they all can not seem to grasp “logic”.

HAS AMERICAN’S LOST THEIR MINDS????

Well, here we are again.  Americans have lost all hold on reality.  We have gone off the “deep end” after the horrible shooting in South Carolina.  It was the fault of one crazy person; but, the public is trying to blame it on anything just to try to make sense of the horror.  They have decided that if they remove a flag it will stop this from happening in the future.  Now, didn’t we let them install all sorts of “background checks” the last several times this happened and now we see that did not help at all.  I hate to say it, but we told you “dumbasses” it would not help. So, now that gun control laws didn’t help, let’s remove simple “pieces of cloth” called flags.  OH, BOY, bet this will do the trick, you “dumbass”.

The powers to be say that the “Confederate” flag is the problem because it represents hate.  That is total “BS” and they know it.  It was about “states rights” and the right to secede from the Union.  Now, read this very closely so you do not miss it.  The Union said the southern states did not have the right to do so, secede from the Union.  But, had they not some years before claimed that they had the right to secede from England?  They fought a war against the “redcoats” to make their point.  They did not want to live under the control of England and felt as if the states had that right.  Are you with me still?  So, if that is the case, and it seems that it was, then did not the “southern” states possess the same right?  The “southern” states did not want to live under the control of the Union Army. So, they fought for their freedom just as the 13 colonies fought England for their freedom.  This makes “COMMON SENSE”, I do not care what side you are or were on.  It is amazing how this “COMMON SENSE” stuff works.

We, as a nation, had better wake up quickly or we will be in another “CIVIL WAR”.  It is going to boil down to the same argument as before.  The more conservative folks do not want to live under the progressive tyrannical rule.  The liberals, as I call them, want to dictate from Washington how we here in Texas live our daily lives.  They just can not entertain the idea that we are a different people with completely different lifestyles from the elitist back east.  We eat differently, we work differently, we play differently, and we certainly live differently.  And guess what, we are damn sure not going to change without a fight. This Obama fellow does not seem to have the balls to fight ISIS; but seems to want to pick a fight with so many Americans that simply want to live under local control and local laws.  Of course, that is because he is an idiot which I have pointed out many times before on a host of different issues.  The “liberal fruit cakes” with this fool Obama as their leader know nothing about how we live our lives and they do not care; because, just like England, they want to control us.  All they really want is our taxes to help pay for the freebies they give the “deadbeats” which vote them into office. It is just a legal form of corruption and buying of votes. Ask yourself, what would happen if you offered to pay an entire group of people to sway their vote?  In case you haven’t heard, that is voter fraud; but, when the liberals give rent and utility benefits, food stamps and yes even free Obama phones to sway that groups vote, it is legal.  And that my friend is pure “BS”, but it is being done. They decided years ago that they did not want to fight a war again; so, they just found another way.  That is why they want open borders so they can continue to control thru the ballot box. I bet if the “King of England” was still alive today he would be kicking himself in the ass over this fact.  All he had to do was spread a little “green” in the right places and we would still be under their control today.  Corrupt, but effective, just like the liberal polices of today.

I, for one, have had enough and instead of living this way–I’m ready to fight.  I will and have started my fight with this blog.  I am trying to get you to think for yourselves and to use the “COMMON SENSE” God gave you. If you do so, then “COMMON SENSE” says you will join me in my defense of the “GOOD OLE AMERICAN WAY”.

IRAN WANTS A NUKE !!!!!

Hey, I have not forgotten all you people who read my blog.  It has been a while and I did not want to do or say anything that might taint this wonderful agreement with Iran.  Also, I have been very busy writing songs.  Some of you may not know this; but about a year ago, I decided to repair “my Daddy’s” old 1937 Gibson “F-hole” guitar and the repairman was also a teacher.  He never gave me lessons; but, I did find someone and with their help and the internet I now bang away on the guitar and write songs.

But that is not what this blog is about; so, I will get right into it.  We have, for 15 months or so now, been trying to negotiate a “nuke deal” with Iran.  They, the folks from Iran, have made a “laughing-stock” out of John Kerry and President Obama.  These two are complete jokes as is most everyone in this administration.  Nancy Pelosi is a complete idiot and Harry Reid is as big a liar as I have ever seen excepting the President himself.  But, back to the deal.  They are giving away the farm, so to speak, to Iran and getting nothing in return.  They have extended the deadline time and time again. And, just today, say they have reached an agreement, but it will still have to be approved by all parties, and that could take another 6 months to a year.  The “COMMON SENSE” of it all tells us that if it is going to take that long for everyone to approve the deal, there ain’t no damn deal.  A deal is where everyone says this is what I will do, signs on the dotted line, and leaves the table.  It amazes me that these idiots do not know what it says in the Koran.  It says, “it is ok to lie to an infidel in the furtherance of Islam”.  Now, does it not make good “COMMON SENSE” to assume that since these “sand niggers” are muslim, that they are lying to you to further the benefits for Islam?  Iran will never be at peace with the West as they are muslim and they hate our guts just because of who we are.

Now, the democrats always holler that you can not criticize unless you have a plan.  I do not always agree with the theory; but, in this case, I do have a plan which I will outline for you.  And guess what, I could have negotiated it in about five minutes and have walked away.  So let me explain.  All that needed to be, or needs to be done today, is to confront Iran at the negotiating table and say this,  “We, the USA, know of your great desire to have a “NUKE.”  For the last 15 months, we have not been able to come to any agreement. So, let us present one last try and it is this:  we know how intense your desire is to have a “NUKE,”  we have many so we are going to give you one, and it will be delivered “overnight delivery”.  It will be delivered by “air” via a B-52 bomber at 5:38 A.M. tomorrow morning.  If after receiving the package, you see fit to still desire a “NUKE,” we will continue nightly deliveries until you, like those sorry sneaky bastards, the JAPS, decide you have had enough.”  Politely rise from the table and leave the room and watch the “sand niggers” chase you down the hall.  If they do not then make good on your delivery, and they will, just like the Japs, decide to keep their mouth shut.  Do you realize we have not  heard a peep from those sneaky bastards in better than 70 years? It works, folks.  It has been proven, folks.  It is what they understand, folks.

I know a lot of you weak livered liberals, and a lot of you “queers”, and a lot of you spineless do-gooders will disagree; but, you have to admit, it “sure as hell” makes good “COMMON SENSE” and that is what I’m all about and so is this blog. If they need someone with the “cojones” to pull the lever, all they have to do is call, and I will be happy to be of service to my country once again.

CONSTITUTIONAL OR NOT !!!!!

Hey everyone, all I hear about this immigration thing makes no “COMMON SENSE”. Our President has decided that he is “KING”, I guess. He has decided that he is the one to make new laws and “to hell with the Congress”. He actually knows better; but, he is like a “little kid” on the play ground that wants to change the rules to better fit his way. This man has supposedly been educated in some fine universities and has studied the constitution. But, it has become a “thorn in his side” so to speak. He will be the first to condemn the other side if they even appear to be thinking of something that may be questionable concerning constitutionality. But alas, he certainly does not want it to hamper him in his dealings. Our “forefathers” set forth the rules for a reason; but, he feels he is above the “rule of law”. He has decided that he can decide the “who, what, when and where” as it pertains to who is legal is this country. That is just plain wrong and I do not care what party you follow.
He has on many occasions during his tenure in office made the remark that “he does not have the power or authority to make such a decision”. It is on video tape and has been shown hundreds of times. But, now that he realizes that the Constitution is standing in his way, he decides to just ignore the facts. It simply shows us a lot about his character. He has a lot of character, but it is “all on the wrong end of the scale”. This man would lie to you “when the truth would sound better”. Meaning he prefers to lie than to tell the truth. That alone should have disqualified the man from being President. All you “dumb asses” that voted for him need to evaluate your “COMMON SENSE” as people like me were screaming that he was a liar. That was the first time he was elected. All you “dumb asses” who voted for him a second time; no need to evaluate because you simply have no “COMMON SENSE”. He had proven to everyone that he was not qualified and was a liar; but, you just did not listen or you simply didn’t give a “rats ass”.
Now, I know that you must be asking yourself, “why is this guy ranting on and on about how I voted”. It is true you have the right to vote no matter how stupid you are. Ever heard the old saying, “stupid is, as stupid does”. Well it fits here because you did stupid; so, you must be stupid. As to my rant, I have had to live with the results of your stupidity and I don’t like it. If you are that uninformed, then just don’t vote. If you know nothing about the issues or the candidates, please just past. I had a friend many years ago that I pushed for years to vote. He never voted although I tried everything to get him to do so. After many years of knowing this “fine fellow”, and fine fellow he was, I realized he was too stupid to understand the issues. So, it had been a plus for him to have not voted. A really nice guy but just “dumber than a stack of rocks” about the issues. I feel we have that same problem playing out in most elections. They are so uninformed that they vote against the “best interest” of the country. Notice that I did not say in their “best interest”. If you will always keep the county’s “best interest” in the fore front, it will, in the long run, work out to your “best interest”.
So, I guess the point I am trying to get across is that for you to make a difference you have to be informed about the issues and candidates. Also, you will have to seek out information other than the “network evening news” as they will lie to you also, or just omit the story all together. Either way, they have by lying or omitting the story kept you in the dark. Find a network that will present news for news sake and let you decide for yourself. After all it only makes “COMMON SENSE” to do so.

LET’s JUST TRY THIS !!!!!

Alright folks, here it comes. This is going to be the “COMMON SENSE” of “COMMON SENSE”.  Like the title says, “Let’s just try this”, and let’s just try this for 30 days.  There are “TEN” rules that were passed down on tablets years ago that you should live your life by just as they require.  Maybe require is to harsh a word; but, for the sake of argument, let’s just use it or you can interject your own word.  These “TEN” are not a request but rather rules on how you should lead your life, day in and day out.  Stop for just a moment and think about how simple life would be if everyone simply lived by the “TEN”.  No stealing, no murder, in fact no crime at all and when something did happen which harmed another, the person at fault would just make it right.  We would love and respect one another and be proud that we could. We would do the right thing without someone applying force to make us comply.  There would be no need for police, judges or courts as there would be no crime or “law suits”.  We would “honor and obey” those which the “TEN” points out.  Really, the “TEN” are not that hard to follow.  We make life much harder than it has to be by not following the pattern set forth for us.

I know a lot of folks who must try to do the wrong things in life.  There is such turmoil in their life and they just “can’t see the forest for all the trees”.  The world seems to be upside down right now.  What, in the “old days”, was right and just is now all wrong and it seems as though we have raised a generation that really “does not know right from wrong”.  We as a society have failed.  We failed to teach them the correct way to live their lives and are now reaping the consequences of those teachings.  We failed to teach them the rewards of our labor and furnishing a warm and loving home in which they can mature.  We failed to teach them of honesty and are reaping the results in dishonest people and dealings.  We failed to teach them of honor and respect and see it everyday where they not only do not respect one another; but, they have no respect for themselves.  We have failed and now want to blame them because of their actions in the world; but, they are ignorant of “life’s lessons” because we failed to teach them the correct way to live.  Think about this and be honest with yourself.  Did you, or are you, furnishing a warm and safe home, have you spoken to them about how to live their life with “honor and respect”?  Have you led them toward the “light” or have you cast them out into a stormy sea toward the darkness?  It is never too late to start, so start today.  After all, it only makes “COMMON SENSE” to do so.

Now, here is the part where I would usually furnish you a list of the “TEN”; but, not today.  I remembered what I was taught as a young man.  My parents always said, “I could tell you and you would forget it. But, if I make you look it up, you will remember it for life”.  So, if you do not know the “TEN”, then go look them up. Then you will remember them for life.  I can and will tell you where to begin your search.  It is called “THE GOOD BOOK”, “THE BOOK OF LIFE” or “THE BIBLE”.  Once you find the “TEN”, be sure you pass on the information to your kids and loved ones.  And because you have already started by doing this research, I invite you to read the “BIBLE” as you will benefit from the study and the reading.  As I mentioned in a previous blog, I was shamed into reading it by a couple of young ladies and it has been a blessing.

Somewhere in there it speaks to how you should serve your employer as you would serve the “LORD”.  So take heed the next time you think about slacking on the job.  You made a deal with the boss when you accepted the job to give him “an hour’s work for an hour’s pay”.  As the old saying goes, “JUST DO IT”.  Any less is stealing; and after you do your research, you will understand and drop me a comment here on this blog.  After all, it only makes “COMMON SENSE” to do so.
