You got it, sir!

In medieval times, the peasants were generally not educated nor were they terribly intelligent. The phrase "common sense" stemmed from an understanding that even the "common people" understood something, so it was universally accepted as sensible, or "common sense."

Like so many other things, the Left has turned "common sense" on its ear and made it the new media buzz word. Problem is that everything they're claiming to be "common sense," is anything but.

I'm growing to question the methodologies and intentions of media outlets doing these "surveys" that are finding such a large number of "Americans" in favor of gun-control, abortion, etc., when "common sense," in the truest form, tells us that it's actually quite the opposite.

Even the polling organizations are in the tank for the Left. It's actually reached the point that the media is pushing propaganda FOR the Left. The MSM is actually the modern day version of Goebbels.
