Time to Shovel the Manure Out of the Stall

Imagine we have a stall in our barn where we keep our cow. We put nice clean straw on the floor to make our cow comfortable. Our cow does some biiiiiig poopies. The straw gets dirty. So we put new clean straw on top of the poopies. Now you would think the cow would try to keep her new straw clean but noooo...she does more poopies on top of the clean straw. The old poopies are still under the straw so now the straw is getting dirty from both sides...so we have to put clean straw in sooner than before. Before long you have a deep pile of straw poopie that just won't stay clean so you have to shovel all the straw and poopie out, and start back with a clean stall.

That is how government works. It isn't a clean easy job...because there are so many different people and variables...it will always be a little messy. But if we leave the same people in office, and then just add a few new ones each election, the new guys quickly become soiled by the veterans and the system that is in place. In America, with each election, we have been putting a little, tiny bit of new clean straw on top of a big pile of old poopie for just over two hundred years. Our clean straw quickly becomes part of the big pile of poopie. Now it is time to shovel out the stall...We are going to have an election where there will be no incumbants, and no one who has held public office before can run for office this round. Every person from local officials up to the president of the United States will be some one who is new to politics. We will be starting with a fresh clean stall. Mmmmm...doesn't that smell nice. No more poopies.

Now that's what I call change. The change that has been happening in American politics is just a label change. Republican, then Democrat, then back to Repulican, then back to Democrat...different labels...but the same pile of poopies. This time we won't change the label...we'll change the poopies.

Have fun with the new changes,
Your's always,
The King
