Make Common Sense Common Again

About the Book

Has the United States gone insane? Considering the political circus of recent years, the easy answer is “yes.” But John Sheirer looks deeper to identify the underlying confusion and show us the core American values that can overcome the insanity, let us laugh at ourselves, and find common sense solutions to our nation’s confusion. We don’t expect political commentary to come in the form of compelling literature, but Sheirer’s gentle wit, knowledge of the issues, compassion for his fellow humans, and highly tuned B.S. detector lift this book from being just another partisan rant to a literate and readable examination of our shared citizenship and humanity.

Praise for John Sheirer's Writing

"... an outlier of logic, reason, and humor in today's often murky and distracting political dialogue. John Sheirer gives entertaining and incisive views on media, policy, elections, and the compendium of issues facing Americans. He gets us refocused and inspired to follow the road to real progressive values." -- David Pakman, host of The David Pakman Show

"In a political world cluttered with knee-jerk opinions and mindless punditry, John Sheirer is a refreshing alternative voice. He shows liberals how to defeat right-wing lies, not with demagoguery and hysterics, but with common sense wisdom and a neighborly style." -- Bill Scher, host of the Talk Me Down podcast

"John Sheirer does a great job debunking right-wing propaganda and telling the fascinating story of America's real political majority--your normal-to-the-point-of-being-boring neighbors, friends, co-workers, and fellow churchgoers whose liberal agenda is strongly supported by most Americans." -- Driftglass, political blogger and co-host of The Professional Left Podcast

Like reading your favorite comic strip first, John’s columns take priority over everything else on the Op-Ed page, always making sharp and compelling points without resorting to the sledgehammer techniques of others.” -- Bob Flaherty, Morning Host, WHMP-96.9 FM, 2014 New England Radio Personality of the Year, Author of novel Puff

The "Trump Train" is crashing faster than Windows 10.

Wednesday, October 12, 2016

Trump's horrible campaign doesn't even deserve an asterisk in history.

Trump's whole campaign is bragging about himself, failed Republican policies, insults, and ridiculous conspiracy theories. He's the comment section of right-wing websites come to life.

Trump's "locker room talk" excuse for bragging about sexually assaulting women is completely unacceptable.

Monday, October 10, 2016

Trump claimed, "I'm a gentleman." That was another obvious lie considering any random three minutes of his behavior during the debate.

Tired of seeing Trump on your television? We can do something about that on November 8.

The "October surprise" isn't really that surprising. Trump is averaging about 3.7 disqualifying events per day.
