Conservatives preach to pay attention to common sense and ignore everything else. Unforutnately, common sense is not all it's cracked up to be.

I hoped, the jist of my message was clear.
In lieu of 'common sense' (which is more a naive aspiration), let's use 'level-headed, balanced globally responsible' instead.
