Pay close attention and remember this.

Common sense means looking at a thing for what it is.

Not looking at process, or labels, or personalities. Most of all, not looking at political correctness.

Common sense is simply favoring substance over style. It’s God-given wisdom.

Conservatives have always been more substance-oriented while liberals are drawn to style.

Must be the reason the GOP is so screwed up. Their substance has been lacking.

The GOP needs a consistant message. Unfortunatley they all work against each other.

Common sense is actually doing the reasonable thing that comes instinctually to most people.

It is becoming extinct.

I don’t mean legal process in particular. Obviously rule of law is essential to conservatism.

I’m talking about assigning only secondary importance to process in a general sense, as opposed to substance or content which is foremost.

Process is just the packaging. Common sense is what tells us it’s the contents of the package that really matter, ultimately.
