Puppet Branches
By Tammy Derouin
Life has many ups and downs.
Each roadblock or difficulty we face becomes a personal challenge. How we handle the challenge is what shapes us
as individuals. Lessons learned prepare
us for the next obstacle we will face.
Some challenges are more difficult than others. At times it may feel like no matter what you
do, the pain and misery will never end. Eventually, you accept, deal with the
situation and move on to the next challenge.
Refusing to see a problem causes additional suffering as you will be
forced to repeat the challenge possibly more than once.
No one gets through life without collecting both emotional
and physical bruises and scars. The
types of problems we face are the same, yet uniquely different. We struggle financially, through family
situations and changes, employment concerns, personal relationships, the loss
of family members and friends. How we
face and react to the challenges of life determines our character, strength and
our stability as individuals.
What I struggle with is how much we, as a nation, took our
safety and security for granted. We were an exceptional nation because we not
only had our freedom but we had a government that actively protected our
freedom as well as our borders. National security was once a high
priority. In our new reality, our
government is more concerned about getting our potential enemy inside our
borders, providing them with financial assistance and distributing them
throughout our country.
We once had a system of checks and balances. We had an Executive Branch, a Legislative
Branch and a Judicial Branch. Each would
check the constitutionality of the actions taking place within the other
branches. Sadly, that is no longer the
case. We have allowed the Executive
Branch to become unchallengeable. In the end, that will make the others
obsolete or puppet branches of government...
