Common Sense University

            It never ceases to amaze us here at Consider Common Sense when we witness very sudden shift as to the nation’s priorities and concerns. The year 2008 which we are about to leave behind is a classic example of such a phenomenon. Not a day goes by when experts, we call them ‘self-anointed experts’, [...]

As Iran keeps its name in the news – if not daily – at least twice a week, we heard recently that Iran might have enough nuclear material for an atomic bomb, it is not yet of the high-grade quality to complete a bomb. The question remains, why does this country want an atomic bomb [...]

And the Democrats are blaming the Republicans for this mess?  It is a simple formula to follow for those of us that are not responsible and believe they aren’t accountable:  Initiate the problem in the name of justice and then blame the other side when the bottom falls away.  In the mean-time you profit and [...]

Congresswoman Maxine Waters threatening to socialize oil in a way that few can.  The power to usurp is a right of every congresswomen named Maxine, isn’t it?

              It is not even seven years since the fatal day of September 11, 2001 when nearly three thousand innocent people lost their lives as a result of the Al Qaida attacks in New York City, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania where a hijacked airplane crashed and yet we appear to have [...]

The annual ritual referred to as the G-8 summit was held this year in Japan based on an established rotation. The members of this elite group are the heads of states from eight industrialized nations, namely, the United States of America, Britain, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and Russia. This annual event began in the [...]

At one time or another in our lives we all have heard the old saying “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with B.S.” And B.S. does not stand for Barbara Streisand. Another saying suggests that “Offense is the best Defense.” Couple these two and you have NASA scientist James Hansen who celebrated [...]

Our most recent article (The Great Oil Debate) was an attempt to bring some perspective and sense of reality to the current energy or more specifically, the oil crisis in our country. The essential conclusion was that the blame for the high prices for gasoline does NOT rest with the oil companies, nor are their [...]

Are Big Oil Company Profits the Reason for Extreme Gasoline Prices?
Oil prices have been discussed for as long as we can remember, but never with the scrutiny that we see today. Not only do we read or hear about it every day, but it is thrust into a negative light in most every case. Common [...]

Reading this title might raise a curious question by any reader, and maybe rightfully so. Who ever heard of environmentalists being haters? They are not, they are protectors, right? Well, we question that based on their actions on many fronts in the past until today. We have addressed and commented on their activities in previous [...]

As Common Sense Authors have done in the past, we want to share an article with you we came across recently. It is actually the transcript of a speech delivered by William Tucker, a veteran journalist who spoke at Hillsdale College on January 29, 2008, during a conference on “Free Markets and Politics Today.” Mr. Tucker’s work [...]

As Common Sense Authors, we continue to find ourselves totally baffled by the inability of elected officials, people in power (like the President, Governors and Congressional Leaders) whether in politics or industry, and of course the vast media membership to confront the environmental movement in this country. This is especially true

California has long been held in public opinion as the place where things start, whether they, those things, are good, not so good or even outright bad. And generally speaking, Californians are somewhat proud of that. It was therefore only a matter of time before someone had to come up with this idea: Make Global Warming, [...]

They did it again! The Democrats in Congress cannot help themselves when it comes to playing politics with all kinds of issues; they have to politicize them, whatever they are. Their latest attempt deals with the renewal of the Protect America Act.

A recent article in Investor’s Business Daily entitled ‘The Sun also Sets’ focused on the World’s Climate Change; except for the ‘minor’ difference that it was highlighting scientists who are seriously concerned about, believe it or not: Global Cooling!

When it comes to Person of the Year for 2007, there should be no doubt for any common sense thinking person in America that there is really only one candidate who deserves this honor. Notwithstanding other

 
After receiving an Oscar and an Emmy in Hollywood, former Vice-President Al Gore has now added the Nobel Peace Prize to his trophy chest. This is quite an accomplishment. But there could be more. Since no human being

 
It has to be said that the topic of Global Warming has been brought to the attention of almost everybody who has access to news, regardless of where they live on this planet. It has been debated ad infinitum for several years now and the main reason it is still on the front burner on [...]

 
As time is passing, it is amusing to see who else is getting on the bandwagon by making statements advocating Man – Made Global warming. In the latest group are such persons as Pope Benedict XVI who has called action on climate change a “moral obligation”,

A two and a half week long visit to Germany and the Czech Republic in June allowed my wife and me to get a more direct insight into the lives of family members, friends and strangers we met during our visit. The trip was a wonderful experience since we were welcomed everywhere and the weather [...]

 
While we focused entirely on Germany in our last article, we will enlarge our view to Europe as it looks today from a political point of view. Dreams and plans for a united Europe have existed ever since World War I, nearly one hundred years. Some were borne out of the United Sates of America [...]

 
One seldom gets to read an article that comprehensively deals with an issue of major proportion in a global sense as the one below that has been adapted from a speech given on February 13, 2007 in Fort Myers, Florida by Victor Davis Hanson. He is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, a professor [...]

On November 26 of last year, we posted two articles here entitled: ‘Election Results and Analysis’ and ‘The People have spoken’. Based on the closeness of the various races in the House as well as the Senate, we concluded that the results reflected a shift among moderate voters, the consistent 15 percent of the American [...]

 
It is very interesting watching members of the Democratic Party in American on television. There are twists and turns on a daily basis that make it very hard to understand their positions. Until they took over both houses in Congress as the ‘Majority’ party, they were unified and focused: They consistently opposed everything Republicans and [...]

 
Among the things that irk us here at this site, in no particular order, are intolerance, double standards, hypocrisy, truth twisters, people without convictions and principles, and so called preachers who do not practice what they preach. They could be called other things as well but let’s leave it at that for now. Applying some [...]

 
Since December 4 of last year, we have posted five articles on Global Warming by trying to understand the issues surrounding them and we invite you to read them again here. Global Warming is reportedly the primary force driving this nearly inevitable disaster that will befall our planet this century if we, the human race [...]

 
Nearly three months ago, in fact it was on January 2, we posted an article entitled: What should be done to fix our Immigration issue?  We stated facts and even had a long list of strong suggestions that in our view had the potential to lead to solving the immigration problems.
