WELCOME!
This blog consists mostly of common sense responses to happenings (news articles, political events, etc) that just cry out for someone to say "WHOA! Hang on a second, here!" Too many people get away with just inventing their own facts as they bull-rush their way through an argument.
Unless you're dodging a taxicab or sidestepping a falling gargoyle, it's usually wise to take what time is available to evaluate and apply actual common sense. Good, old wisdom. It is, of course, my opinion, but I'll try to show why I think it's factual.
Thomas Paine said, "To argue with someone who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead." ... but I argue with drunks, egomaniacs, anti-gun Statists, Socialist/Keynesians and climate-fraud peddlers, too.

**PLEASE share this around. I didn't research, consider, write and post this junk just to have it hidden.
And feel free to comment.**

Concise is nice. Thoroughness is also good.

This one got me literally laughing out loud:

Are you a liberal, a conservative or a southerner?
The answer can be found by posing this question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.  Suddenly, a terrorist with a large knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges at you.
You are carrying a handgun and you are and expert shot.  You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.  What do you do?
Liberals' answer:  Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!  What kind of handgun is it?  Does the man look poor or oppressed?  Is he really a terrorist?  Am I guilty of profiling?  Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?  Could we run away?  What does my wife think?  What about the kids?  If I were to grab his knees and hang on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?  Should I call 9-1-1?
I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

Conservatives' answer:  BANG!

Southerners' answer:  BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Click (sound of reloading), BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Family: "Nice grouping, Daddy!"

Please be reasonably polite, but especially be as accurate as you can. Provide sources if you have them. We might as well learn something. [Wikipedia and blogs are usually 'pointers', not authoritative sources; they indicate data that might be confirmed elsewhere (that's how I use them here)].
