Thank you, President Obama, for using your executive power to designate five new national monuments, thus ensuring that those areas of America's natural beauty will be conserved for the appreciation of future generations. Your actions are in stark contrast to the distorted values of congressional Republicans, who have no respect for God's creation, who indeed hold it in disdain, if not contempt, who are willing to invade, defile, and desecrate His creation, our country's natural beauty, for almost any reason.
