Compassion, For Who?

We all know by now the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi has been released from jail on compassionate grounds to go back home to his family in Libya to die.

What about the victims families? Where's the compassion been shown to them? Did the Scottish authorities forget about them? They are angry and outraged. They should be. Their family and friends can't come home to them. Their loved ones were taken from them by this criminal.

So why should he be released? Why can't he just die in jail? If it's on compassionate grounds, why not release all prisoners? Surely they find something to grant all inmates mercy.

Watch this video of Wolf Blitzer from CNN interviewing the Scottish Justice Secretary. Notice how Wolf asks him the same question over and over again and he doesn't answer it.

Just another example of liberal forgetting the victim and hugging the criminal.

Now does that make sense? I think not!

Common Sense

You know what I've noticed in the last few years? Yup, it's getting harder and harder to find good old fashioned common sense.

Reminds me of "Where's Waldo" Where's good old fashioned common sense?

Common sense seems to be a thing of the past these days. It's really hard to find out there. You read the newspapers, listen to the radio, watch television. It just doesn't seem be there anymore. Even in our educational institutions is difficult to find. I give my head a shake once in awhile and think what happened. Why is it so hard to come by?

Common sense is something that in my parents and grandparents day was just that, common. It was easy to find.

What is common sense you ask?
According to Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, Common sense is defined as:
sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts

What I find it seems to be a little more prevalent in conservative circles even then it can be sparse at times. Try and find common sense in liberal circles, well that's another story. Almost as rare as hen's teeth. I give my head a shake once in awhile and wonder what happened. Why is it so hard to come by?
.
Let's make it common again I know from reading a few conservative blogs that there is smidgen of sense out there.

Conservatives we can make a difference, let's make common sense common again.

In future posts I will attempt to illustrate where the common sense is lacking in the news of the day, politics and other issues.
