Common Sense For Today's America by Jj Mckeever
Common Sense for Today's America shows that there are practical ways of solving the ongoing issues Americans face today. The book covers government and politics of course, but also looks at family life, education, church, God, sports, and pretty much anything that makes people feel frustrated and wondering what happened to the American Dream. Often with humor, Common Sense for Today's America turns the most complex problems upside down and looks at them with the perspective of real solutions that do not adhere to any one philosophy or bias. JJ McKeever gives readers a chance to sit back and look at little excerpts of life that are happening in the United States today. A common topic is what goes on in our nation's capital with President Obama and Congress. While conservative in nature, Mr. McKeever is ready to give credit when due to liberals and Democrats and is ready to blast the Republicans when they get in their own way...which happens way too often. One of the biggest themes in Common Sense for Today's America is that it is never all one side or the other that is responsible for the problems, or who has the perfect solution. America was founded on compromise; otherwise they would still be debating the Declaration of Independence This is an intelligent vision of how to tackle our biggest issues, and you will often be laughing while reading them. This same philosophy permeates all other subjects. While a Christian, JJ McKeever holds other belief systems in total respect while showing how religion can lose sight of both God and people. In a world where education is paramount, the dysfunctional way America sometimes tackles our education issues are brought to light. The importance of family and parents in their kids' lives is also a common theme. This is all addressed with the idea that the United States is a great country and there is no reason why the American Dream cannot be a beacon for everyone to shoot for again. While our problems in America can be complex, the solutions can be relatively simple if people took time to actually listen to each other. Common Sense for Today's America is to be enjoyed...and hopefully to make the reader think. We have a wonderful country...let's keep it going for another few hundred years
JJ McKeever is a writer who has worked in the government, business, and nonprofit worlds, traveled around a lot, and never gets tired of watching people and figuring out how life works. Making the transition to full-time writer, JJ launched Common Sense, a daily column that looks at everything from government to the church and everything in between like school, sports, and family life. Started as a way of disciplining himself to write something original every day and helping people find his website (www.authormax.com), Common Sense took off! People liked to read his commentary and suggestions on practical approaches to some of the most vexing problems facing life in America today. Born in New Jersey and living back there again, he is an admirer of other writers like Ben Franklin and Art Buchwald and loves how they could make a real point using short compositions riddled with observations, practical solutions, and humor. These influences along with a varied life, taught JJ to look at issues from all sides. It is that insight that he brings to his writings. He figures if people do not agree with him, at least he hopes he can help make them think! And in that thinking, the American Dream just may be attainable for all Americans.
