Death of Common Sense

Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason. 

Death of Common Sense mourned in London Times Obituary

An Obituary printed in the London Times…..Absolutely Dead Brilliant!!

 

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.

No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long
ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

– Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
– Why the early bird gets the worm; 
– Life isn’t always fair; 
– And maybe it was my fault. 

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend
more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). 

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. 

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the
job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental
consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses;
and criminals received better treatment than their victims. 

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a
burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. 

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed
to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot.
She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason. 

He is survived by his 5 stepchildren;
– I Know My Rights 
– I Want It Now 
– Someone Else Is To Blame 
– I’m A Victim
– Pay me for Doing Nothin

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. 
If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

 

 

The DNC puts moderate lipstick on a communist pig
Tina Toon

The Democratic National Convention began with protests, bad dance acts, and a formulaic speech by the Democrat 2016 sore loser, Hillary Clinton.
Hillary seemed to suggest a woman must and should be president merely because she’s a woman. Forget about merit. This was ironic as the Democrats can not even define “what is a woman ” as they struggle with gender specific bathrooms.

The Chicago clown circus is in town and the usual clown suspects are speaking on night one—including communist AOC. She proceeded to shout in a loud voice about ‘Orange Man Bad’ and the usual socialist dribble. Let’s hope she made better drinks than speeches. She and the rest of the Democrats are trying mightily to present themselves as moderates to appeal to the Democrat base. They are trying to put blue lipstick on a red communist pig—and they’re not doing a messy job of it.
