Our Country

 I think that my husband would wish that I was a little less opinionated, but sometimes I feel if I don't write down my thoughts or tell someone what I am thinking I will explode!! So here is my rant for the day.

    I am a little outraged by our countries blatant disrespect for the people of the United States of America. It may seem a little irrational to others, but I believe that congress should be restricting the powers of the president of the USA and not the power of the states. Did you know that the president of the USA has the ability to designate land as National Monuments without consulting anyone? He is completely above the NEPA process.Which means we, as the people, have no say in what land is taken away from public use!! He also has the ability to bargain with terrorists and do triads for people without discussing it with congress and he can pardon anyone from any crime they may have committed. I feel as though our president has been placed in a position that makes him above the law. Sounds something like communism or dictatorship....
   Also, correct me if I am wrong but each state is a souvenir state and has, well had, the right to choose what the laws of that state were and how it was to be run. The will of those individuals in the state were supposed to mean something and it seems that now, it does not matter what the people in the state want. I believe in checks and balances, but I feel like our national scale has been tipped over and one side is ruling everything. There is no balance left in this nation. The will of the people is not being heard.

Sorry.......just a little mad right now.
