As a child growing up in America I was taught from a young age that our nation was a nation ruled by the PEOPLE. I was told we elect representatives to serve us in political office and they are to do the will of the PEOPLE. I'm still told this today. Our nation is a nation of the PEOPLE by the PEOPLE and for the PEOPLE. I'm a bit confused by this. Why, you ask? Simply put, I don't see this as a reality.
The PEOPLE want illegals out and for the nation to enforce border security, but Washington DC wants to give them amnesty and continue to keep the borders open. The PEOPLE want the death penalty enforced, but it's not done. The PEOPLE are against sodomy, yet those who practice it, do so openly AND they want special rights given to them. The PEOPLE want swift justice, but would settle for simple justice period, yet there seems to be less and less each year. The PEOPLE want accountability in government, we get self-serving, over indulgent bureaucracy.
