God Bless America

Tonight I listened to Sam Cookes "A Change is Gonna Come". Wow, what a powerful song, and so prophetic. Whether you support the policies of the new president or not, (I don't by the way on most issues) you have to be amazed at the diversity of our country. You have to be proud that in such a relatively short period of time we've gone from a nation that puts blacks from the back of the bus to the White house. Only in America would this be possible, so remember that next time you compare this country to another. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door." What other nation has ever made such a statement? When I think of the strides this country is capable of it gives me new hope in light of any situation. Now I'm patriotic but I usually don't go all Toby keith on people but.....God Bless America!!!!!
