CHANGE!!

I got this email this morning and it pretty much sums it all up...I had to post it. I was going to add my own commentary, but I think this particular email is pretty self-explanatory. I'm not sure who the original author is: They [the politicians] all promise change. How about if they run on a promise of restoration rather than change. A restoration that would take us back in time to a place where things ran better, smoother and life was more enjoyable. Change? That, in truth, is what they have been giving us all along. We used to have a strong dollar ... Politicians changed that. Life used to be sacred ... Politicians changed that. Marriage used to be sacred ... Politicians are changing that. We used to be respected around the world ... Politicians changed that. We used to have a strong manufacturing economy ... Politicians changed that. We used to have lower tax structures ... Politicians changed that. We used to enjoy more freedoms ... Politicians changed that. We used to be a large exporter of American made goods ... Politicians changed that. We used to be an openly Christian nation ... Politicians changed that. We used to teach patriotism in schools ... Politicians changed that. We used to educate children in schools ... Politicians changed that. We used to enjoy freedom of speech ... Politicians changed that. We used to enforce LEGAL citizenship ... Politicians changed that. We used to have affordable food & gas prices ... Politicians changed that, too. ... and one could go on and on with this list. What hasn't been changed, politicians are promising to change that as well if you will elect them. When, oh when, is America going to sit back with open eyes and look at what we once were and where we have come and say, enough is enough? The trouble is, America's youthful voters today don't know of the great America that existed forty and fifty years ago. They see the world as if it has always existed, as it is now. (From Southerngirl: They're all spoiled rotten--including myself. We don't know what it is like to work for a dollar, as (up until now) we've always been handed what we want) When will we wake up? Tomorrow may be too late. When will America realize ... Politicians are what is wrong with America ? What needs to be changed are the Politicians! Just as diapers are changed on babies when they become full of crap, so too must the politicians!
