"The Cause of America is in a Great Measure the Cause of all Mankind." - Thomas Paine.
Save Her
The legacy of this degenerate president is epoch defining: a morally bereft, unconscionably corrupt, treasonous, emotionally brittle,
diseased animal that the Republican party and the majority of the Supreme Court sprinted to embrace.
After Trump was re-elected in 2024, he quickly broke the will of legacy media, academia, corporations and a swack of billionaires.
He is utterly indifferent to the collapse of the American republic as long as he can make money off her death.
The second horror germinating within the Republican establishment are the plans for America once Trump drops.
The person I envision Republicans want is someone like C.S. Lewis wrote about in the
Screwtape Letters.
"I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of “Admin.” The greatest evil is not now done
in those sordid “dens of crime” that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in
concentration camps or labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is
conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed,
and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and
smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my
symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the
offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern."
Save her. Now is the time.
Right Time & Place
Common Sense Movement
"The Cause of America is in a Great Measure the Cause
of all
Mankind."
- Thomas Paine.
Paine's sentiment of over 249-years ago remains true in the 21st century world.
The Mission
1. Champion the rebirth of the persuasive,
self-evident logic underlying Thomas Paines’ writing, which influenced
events in both the American and French Revolution.
2. Aspire for a day when all discourse is weighted by common sense, critical
thinking and logic.
3. Explore how the Common Sense Movement can participate in political reform
and/or lead to the creation of a third party.
4. Make our case for the Common Sense Movement via a two-pronged approach:
Creating content of substance and humor.
More Smoke
Defies Logic
So, even
though the
number of billionaires in
the US has increased 791% from 101 in 1992 to 900 in 2025, no one individual or
like-minded group wanted to fund a third party?
They would influence policy from
a distance like Koch brothers and Robert Mercer. Secondly, most 21st century
billionaires make the Koch brothers and Mercer look like stinky white trash.
Who We Are
Our approach is to reclaim common sense in American / western culture with a judicious blend of intellectual rigour and humor.
