Wanted: Common Sense

This letter to the editor was not printed because it contained too much of another's work. The editor requires the most of the work be original.

I read a quote from the Czech Republic newspaper, Prager Zeitung, that sums up my sentiments perfectly, except I would prefer a less contentious word than "fool." It can be found on bernardgoldberg.com, posted November 16, 2012.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.”

Common sense and wisdom have fallen in our country. Were that not so the absolute foolishness of such matters as the same-sex marriage issue and elevating animals to the same level as humans would not be happening. Some things are just obvious to any thinking mind. But when rational thinking is subverted by emotionalism and self-will enrobed in fantasy anything can happen—and is! The only hope for this country is if its citizenry will come back to God and reality and live accordingly. I pray that God will open the hearts and minds of our president, all others in authority and the people of this nation to do just that. Were that to happen we would have a truly great nation again.
