I am serious in my question.  Political correctness and the nullification of many things in today’s society cause me to ask, “Is Common Sense Dead?  Have We Killed Common Sense?”  Somebody rightly asked, “Why do they call it common sense when it is so uncommon?”  There are many things I could use in this discussion, but I will selectively extract one or two to suffice.

The gender nullification activism that has become epidemic in America and around the world is alarming.  I am a father, a grandfather, a husband, a brother, a son, a patriot, a veteran, and most importantly, a Christian.   My core conviction is that God is the Creator.  I have an unrelenting belief in God’s Word and trust what the Bible says far more than what the government or man says.

The Bible declares in Genesis 1:27 – “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.”  Also, in Genesis 5:1-2 – “…God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.  2 He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.”    I trust God; he did not create 112 or the number of genders identified as Google and other sites suggest.  He made two, male and female! 

The idea of gender fluidity is a relatively new idea that argues that gender is not ‘fixed.’  The Bible disagrees, as DNA verifies, as chromosomes demand, and genitals reveal.   The idea advanced by those wanting to rewrite the Bible and science suggests that gender can change along a spectrum of masculine-feminine and encompass elements of both genders. 

There is the idea of gender dysphoria that argues that there is distress associated with a mismatch between biological sex and gender identity.  That is not a biological issue but a psychological one created by our depraved society.  That condition is a product of many things, not biological but emotional, psychological, and maybe spiritual.

Body dysmorphia is an entirely different condition, they argue, that is characterized by strong feelings that the body is flawed.  Basically, the argument is, “God, you blew it when you created me, and I need to correct your error.”  I would hate to stand before God and try to argue that. 

Transgender has morphed into meaning so many different things it is hard to define and discuss.  Basically, it is the idea that gender is fluid and changes with changing attitudes and conditions.  We have transsexuals seeking to correct God’s error (their view, not mine) by transitioning from one biological gender to another via medical (hormonal or surgical) means.

The list found among other places is detailed at https://dudeasks.com/how-many-genders-are-there-in-2019/, and I suggest you read it for yourself.   The list and definitions are more than troubling; they scream that ‘common sense’ has completely vanished from Earth.    

New York City’s Commission on Human Rights took a position that slaps sanity and common sense in the face with their thirty-one recognized genders which include names such as ‘drag king, drag queen, butch, femme queen, gender fluid, gender blender, gender bender, and gender gifted.’  I have no idea what they truly mean in some of those, but I know they are rubbing it in our faces and attempting to force us to accept things foreign to common sense, genetics, science, and the Bible. 

I believe that the end game is not empowering people to be who they believe they truly are but disempowering those of us who hold to traditional and biblical values.  They are seeking to disempower those of us who value the traditional two-parent family of mother and father, male and female.  I read a statement by Theodore Dalrymple, an English writer, retired prison doctor, and psychiatrist who has studied this extensively. 

He said: “Political Correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.  When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity [integrity, honesty].  To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself.  One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded and even destroyed.  A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.  I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

That is disturbing and causes me to ask again, “Is Common Sense Dead?  Have We Killed Common Sense?”  The lunacy regarding open borders is part and parcel of this agenda.   The idea that America should become a Socialist nation is part of the package.  The Political Correctness that seeks to force Americans to abandon their God-given right to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” embodied in our inalienable rights and constitutional protections. 

The modern Democrat Party has abandoned Common Sense and is on a mission to destroy what our founders and the framers gave us in the late 1700s.   They are pursuing a pathway that will lead to tyranny, despotism, and the loss of most, if not all, our freedoms and liberties.  How millions are embracing that political agenda is beyond reason and forces me to ask, “Is Common Sense Dead?  Have We Killed Common Sense?”

What I am addressing is one of the reasons I am grateful that the Left lost in 2024.  I pray that with the GOP in control of the Senate and House of Representatives, they and the President will take steps to return constitutional normalcy to our Republic.  If they revive “Common Sense,” we have hope. 

I am troubled by numerous Republican Senators and Representatives openly opposing President Trump’s nominees and agenda.  If we do not restore constitutionality and revive Common Sense, having a Republican in the White House and control of Congress will be meaningless.   It will exasperate those who gave the President and the GOP a clear mandate, and in 2026, the pendulum will swing away from them. 

The Supreme Court will possibly have 1 to 3 openings.  There are lower court appointments to be made.  There is a 900-pound gorilla in the room, and the various bureaucracies and agencies must be defanged and de-weaponized.  The Department of Justice needs a strong, aggressive head to address the corruption and collusion.

There are matters such as stifling regulations, taxes, and our constitutional rights that must be addressed.  Our national security, the border, taxes, inflation, energy, and more are on the table.  The last time Trump was President, the Republicans in Congress spent more time opposing Trump than assisting his efforts.  Even with that opposition, much good was accomplished.  Congress, please revive common sense and do not make the same error again!

God help us wake up, return to God and our moral moorings, and allow Common Sense to be restored!   WAKE UP AMERICA!
