Common Sense University

            Folks, this is now getting very serious, if not frightening and outright scary. What we have been hearing from the President and all Democrat healthcare reform supporters has been a smoke screen. There was extensive talk about using so called ‘reconciliation’ in the United States Senate once the two versions by the House and [...]

            As President Barack Obama told America several weeks ago, he was fully focusing on job creation to help the bad economy in our country. However, that did not keep him from scheduling and presiding over a seven-hour long televised healthcare debate with Democrat and Republican leaders from the House of Representatives and the Senate [...]

            Having read Sarah Palin’s book: Going Rogue, Common Sense University is absolutely baffled by what she describes happened during the ten-week Presidential campaign in 2008. As if it was not bad enough that the liberal media, the vast majority of our media, tried everything in the book to dishonor and discredit her with atrocious [...]

            Reading this article’s title, it is probably a sound bet that you are thinking of former President George W. Bush, often referred to as G.W. But you are incorrect: CSU means our first President: George Washington! Today is his birthday, he was born on this day on 1732 and became the first President of [...]

            It is truly alarming when the United States Government resorts to statistical mischief! Common Sense University feels very strongly about this, after all, when the credibility of governmental agencies is in doubt and statistics are being manipulated for whatever purposes and we suspect political ones, then something is gravely wrong in America.      Let [...]

            The title of this article might at first appear harsh and it probably is. To witness the fallout of this incredible catastrophe for the past four weeks is heart-wrenching for anybody. Haiti, the country with a population of about ten million living mostly below or slightly above the poverty level with a national Gross [...]

            Last week’s State of the Union address by President Barack Obama was just another farce as many such speeches have been by Obama’s predecessors throughout the years. But his speech was distinct in that he reminded everyone that everything wrong in America was George Bush’s fault and that it would take him a little [...]

            The recent election in Massachusetts for United States Senate to fill the seat vacated by the death of former Senator Ted Kennedy was supposed to be just a formality in electing another Democrat. In fact, it was even a surprise to some that a Republican dared to challenge the Democrat’s candidate, Ms. Martha Coakley. [...]

            Common Sense University does not recall a person’s life and reputation turning as fast as Tiger Woods’s during the aftermath of what became known as a minor accident during the night after Thanksgiving Day as he was leaving his property in Windermere, Florida. Tiger was not seriously injured and a neighbor reported that he [...]

            …the question: How much money was lost when banks financed home mortgages for people who could not afford to buy – let alone – own such homes nationwide? We honestly wonder if that day will ever come. Yet this reality – letting people buy homes without the financial strengths to ever make payments to [...]

            It is customary to start a new year with good intentions, hope for the better and listing some New Year’s resolutions that we desire to achieve or hope for in the coming twelve months. It has been done for the ages and it ought to be continued. As we wrapped up the previous year [...]

Unlike quite a few others, we do not believe that one can comprehensively do an End-of-Year review in one article. 2009 was hailed and pronounced twelve months ago as the Year of Change and Hope. And a lot of people had believed in 2008 candidate Barack Obama’s campaign promises and slogans and voted for him [...]

            We still do not know if the Democrats efforts in Congress to give America a Health Care Reform package by Christmas will succeed but it is becoming clearer that whatever the outcome will be at the end, it is BAD news for America and its citizens. In fact, it will be a huge coffin [...]

            And there they are: Leaders and representatives of approximately 190 countries around the globe meeting in the Danish capitol Copenhagen to work out an agreement on so called Climate change legislation to rescue our planet from human destruction! It never ceases to amaze us how many supposedly intelligent people can be collectively so stupid [...]

            Despite economic bad times in America, the country is still getting into the holiday season with all its traditional activities: Shopping for Christmas, buying gifts for loved ones and friends, giving to charities and volunteering time to help the needy and so on. Together with the regular daily routines, it keeps everybody fairly busy [...]

            For precisely three years, Common Sense University has written and or posted fifteen articles here about the Man-made Global Warming phenomenon or as it became known more recently the Climate Change dangers to this planet of ours. To be clear, while we have engineering degrees, we are not scientists but just maintain a certain [...]

            It took President Barack Obama nearly one hundred days to respond to Four-Star General Stanley McCrystal’s request of an additional 40,000 troops in Afghanistan to win the war there. A war that candidate Obama had called a war of necessity. And to summarize the President’s response in very precise terms, he told:

the General, he [...]

            Common Sense University has expressed many times our deep disgust with the news media, whether the print, the television medias or even the movie industry in general. For us the saying holds true: “They don’t make them like they used to”. Many years ago, the individuals in these industries had a few rules and [...]

            …well, you know the rest of the too often used saying. An Army psychiatrist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan walks into a building at the military base called Fort Hood in Texas, shouts “Allahu Akbar” and starts shooting about one hundred rounds at fellow Army soldiers, killing in the end thirteen innocent and unsuspecting people [...]

            If anybody ever doubted that the Liberals in Congress were not totally serious about taking control of America’s healthcare system, the vote by the House of Representatives on November 7 near midnight should have been proof that they truly are. Even though, it was not at all easy to get there, let’s check the [...]

            There is a tendency to read too much into things when they occur, last Tuesday’s elections in several states across the country could be such events. But we think they are not. Electing Republican governors in New Jersey and Virginia, two States that Barack Obama carried during the 2008 Presidential election should not be [...]

            It is currently generally accepted in our country that the Republicans in Congress have not at all attempted to contribute to the massive health care reform legislation. In fact, the Democrats and the compliant liberal media have called Republicans the party of NO! This label has been put on the minority party for a [...]

            In case anyone was wondering if Common Sense University had taken our eyes off the health care reform attempts in Washington D.C., the answer is simple: We have not! The primary reason we have not commented on it is the fact that not a lot has happened during the past five weeks since Congress [...]

            The above title should be complimented with the following words: ‘See, what they are doing with your money!’ We are talking about Alfred Nobel, the 19th century Swedish industrialist who invented dynamite and made a fortune that he then bequeathed to the Royal Swedish Academy of Science to make annual awards in his name [...]

            The organization ACORN has been in the news lately in a rather dishonorable way. ACORN is an acronym for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and was established in the early 1970’s for purposes of helping and assisting the poor in getting better housing and improved wages, more community development investment from banks [...]

At least they are consistent.  The Nobel Peace Prize has lost credibility over the years but this year’s decision may be the one that kills this honor for others in the future.

            The annual ritual of the September United Nations General Assembly meetings is over for 2009 and Common Sense University has to wonder why this remains to be the much publicized event that it has been for nearly half a century. Yet compared to previous years, the 2009 event was humorous. Every year it seems, [...]

           Common Sense University wants to start this article with a question: Is there still Racism in America? The answer is simple: Yes, there is! We will end this article with an answer to the question: Where is the Racism today in America?  But let us take it one step at a time. The passage of [...]

Wow!  This is a perfect example of a congressman exercising common sense.
Thanks Mike.

            Yes, Mr. President, you have lost credibility with a majority of the American people, they do not trust you anymore! They have heard you now numerous times on health care reform in various formats: Town hall meetings, press conferences, at gatherings at the White House and most recently addressing a joint session of Congress.
