I like to think Texans have a lot of what the rest of the United States, and maybe the world for that matter, seems to have lost. Whether it is a quality that you acquire or one that you genetically inherit, I can't say for certain, though I suspect the latter. If it is the latter, we need a larger gene pool!
The quality of which I speak is "common sense". It is a quality that knows no race, gender or geographic boundary. It should also have no political limitations, but that seems to have changed since I was a young man.
It used to be that you could find an even sprinkling of men and women with common sense in both political parties. It used to be that when laws being written in Congress were idiotic, men of common sense in BOTH parties would rise to defeat the bill with a vote against it. At the very least they would have read the bill so they could vote on it honestly. They would do that for the good of the NATION as a whole...NOT the good of their party or a few "special interests" groups with their own agenda.
It's time for all men and women of good "common sense" to stand up and speak their minds against a government that is gradually enslaving them, their children and their children's children to a future of debt and poverty from which they may never recover. Our government, controlled at present by the most Liberal Democrats ever to hold office is slowly strangling the life out of our economy and our future independence. Stand up and fight before freedom is nothing more than dust in the winds of history.

I believe that we are all born with common sense yet we choose to ignore it and replace it with selfishness. People say to themselves, whether knowledgable or subconscienciously, if I have 'common sense' then I will be held accountable. And of course we do not want that, irresponiblilty is more fun.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes politics, it seems that neither party has much common sense now a days and that libertairins are making more and more sense. And that is a scary thought. What is scaries is the 'sense' that is being spoken in office right now. It has gone out the window.
You're right about Texas, we seem to have our own way of thinking, for the most part. Plus we still have morals, to some degree. They go hand and hand you know. Kind of like if you cling to your religion, you probably have a gun to cling to as well.
