Make Common Sense Common Again: July 2015

"The Charleston shooter allegedly purchased his murder weapon with birthday gift money when he turned 21. I wish his present had been a tour of Boone Hall’s slave houses or a good history book.

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

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
