For Love of Country

No matter your current political views (although I have been open with some of mine on this blog).. today was a proud moment for our country.  You may not have been aware, but today a PEACEFUL transfer of power occurred in our House of Representatives.  A transfer of power where the outcoming Speaker of the House, Pelosi, with no guns or coercion, passed the power of Speaker to Representative John Boehner. 
You may be bored already by this post.  But I urge you to contemplate just how lucky you are, that you are an American.  To thank your God that you live in this country where power can be transferred by votes, instead of blood.   A country where a simple hand-over of a ridiculous looking judges gavel can put into place a new party, with a different view. 
You may not like John Boehner, or you might have no idea who I'm talking about.  But I am here, as an avid news junky and politically aware citizen to urge you to pay attention to today's news.  Maybe switch off your cable sitcom to watch history happen, peacefully.  And then thank God that you live in the United States of America.
