In politics, as in life, we do best when we … choose common sense. Don’t set a tent in a gully, don’t try thin ice, don’t hike a mountain in sandals, or consult carnival barkers for financial advice. Don’t trust failing brakes, blame others for your faults and aches, or imagine Harris-Walz aren’t fakes.
What has Harris done with her life, besides nuzzling a microphone, leveraging political ties for personal gain, pretending to be what she is not, failing every professional test, hurting others, run from the rest?
Here is a former California attorney general who reduced penalties for murderers, promoted illegal immigration, refused to cooperate with federal law enforcement, suppressed constitutional rights, and was so flawed, so off base, so personally mean that the Supreme Court had to intervene.
Here is a presidential candidate in 2020 so light on content, leftist in disposition, unliked by her peers, viewed as a chameleon, user, self-aggrandizing, and undevout, Democrats forced her out.
Here is a US Senator and vice president who, with fawning words from Obama and Biden’s choice, managed to push “banning” private health insurance, federalizing and rationing medical care, debt to 35 trillion, inflation to 9 percent, interest at 22-year high; who tried to grant “citizenship” to every illegal, ban fracking and drilling for oil, mandate electric cars, outlaw gas stoves and plastic straws; advocated defunding state and federal police, ending constitutional rights during COVID, justified political violence in 2020, helped put felons on the street without bail, called Customs “the KKK,” and pretended no responsibility, as she waved drugs, trafficked girls, and illegals in, border away.
Here is a vice presidential candidate who, as if she had nothing to do with it, promoted as fit an unfit president, lied to prop him up, then colluded with his Democrat enemies to position herself as the nominee, tearing the whole constitutional primary process down, to grace herself with his crown.
Then, look at her running mate, chosen with little vetting, another lapse in judgment, except that he balanced her age, race, and gender, thus making her a midwestern contender. Who is he? A Marxist playing country boy, military faker, suppresser of rights, a wolf in sheep’s fur, a perfect reflection of her.
So, back to common sense. What should we see when Democrats nominate this pair? Well, shared Marxist leanings, yes – but also an obsession with power, comfort with arrogance, willingness to betray principle for the position, indulge violence without contrition, as John Dean once said, “blind ambition.”
So, when all the twisted, manipulated, reshaped narratives, all those deflections, defections, and rejections are stirred into one indigestible, indecipherable bowl of mush, what should we do? Don’t count on others, count on you.
You know when your money is worth something. You know the feeling of peace, low inflation, low interest, affordable housing, heating oil, groceries, gas, and life. You know the feeling of no fear, no mandates, no street strife. You know free speech, self-defense, accountability, people who care, not those who threaten lawfare.
You know real from unreal, dry from wet, safe from unsafe, faithless leaders, the safe bet. If you are wondering how this election will go, and not sure what to do, get off the fence. Choose common sense.
Robert Charles is a former Assistant Secretary of State under Colin Powell, former Reagan and Bush 41 White House staffer, attorney, and naval intelligence officer (USNR). He wrote “Narcotics and Terrorism” (2003), “Eagles and Evergreens” (2018), and is National Spokesman for AMAC.
Well RBC, the percentage of the country that is capable of clear, intelligent, rational thought has already decided on who they will vote for this November. That is for Trump. The rest of the country, that is largely uniformed on the issues, emotionally driven and easily manipulated by the MSM and the Dems will of course line behind who the MSM tells them they should vote for. Which is of course Harris and her communist loving running mate Walz.
The real question before us is how effective the non-Democrat run states be at halting the ongoing efforts of the Democrats to get as many of the 12 to 18 million illegal aliens signed up and registered to vote for the Democrat ticket? We know the Democrat run states are already coordinating with their NGOs to facilitate getting illegals both drivers licenses and registering them to vote.
In an honest and fair election, the decision of who would be our next President would have already been decided months and months ago. Trump would win in November by a landslide. However, we can’t ignore the active efforts to cheat and stuff the ballot boxes at every turn, by any means necessary, by the Democrats to ensure they “win”. That would just be defying common sense, which is what your entire article is about.
Neither of us has any desire to live in a Marxist country, as we both know it would be terrible. So, we all have to do whatever we can to shine a bright light on every underhanded effort being conducted by the Democrats and their allies to ensure their election manipulation efforts are both exposed and fail miserably.
Good , right thinking people know the value of common sense and respect taking a stand for truth, liberty, and the qualities that make for good character. To do something to stop evil is important .When evil is seen there is a responsibility to do something about about it, just as someone. would. feel an obligation to do something to stop a fire from starting if they observed conditions somewhere that would contribute to a fire starting if not corrected.There is the business as usual politics — which does not describe the current political climate , and there is the sort of corruption ,politically motivated, that is an outright attack on the Nation– that politically motivated corruption does describe the current situation .So ,like a gear with broken gear teeth the machinery is not going to operate until a new gear is put in place. Common sense — the moral , intelligent way to make the various adjustments that need to be made in life. Important thoughts conveyed in this article Robert, Well done ! The United States of America developed from honorable people using common sense , respecting. the right to believe in God and the rights of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. — None of that gets old , or out of date — it gets better because it becomes more important with time to uphold those principles — same with Common Sense.
It’s hard to know who to vote for when both sides seem extreme, so I vote for the least extreme and the most common sense. That would be Trump, in spite of his hyperbole and braggadocio. His policies are mostly common sense.
An excellent article. Hits all the high points!
Common sense requires the ability to understand logic. Many concrete thinkers are intellectually incapable of understanding common sense. They spend a lifetime wallowing in the cesspool and come out every two years to vote. To vote for what…they have no idea…so, here we are.
SO AFRAID SOME WILL VOTE FOR HER OLY BECAUSE SHE IS A BLACK/ASIAN WOMANNOT HER RECORD
A lot of people are saying that Trump has personally asked Rebecca Weber for the names of AMAC members/commenters who backed DeSantis and others over him during the primary. I remember a lot of folks on here saying they wished Trump wouldn’t run. Bet they’re regretting that now! TRUMP NEVER FORGETS!
Yes, we’ve now seen it in full bloom. With the surge of liberal “Democrat” messaging that compels individuals to “follow the pack” while disowning their own instincts, individuality, and even gender, we are seeing the moral, ethical, and cultural malfunctions that are designed to compell us be an uncivilized and uncaring society…. just so we all can be “ruled” by a neurotic few in the political left wing.
