What does the word integrity mean to you? Integrity is a powerful word, you have to have integrity in your life.
Not to be misconstrued I looked it up, as the definition states: adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty; and, the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished: to preserve the in whole empire. And another source, it is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, and expectations.
In layman’s terms it means to be righteous to yourself, say what you mean and do just that. Do not be dishonest to yourself and others.
My greatest pet peeve is integrity. I want your trust even if I do not trust you. I say what I mean and stand behind my word and I want that just from you. Humbly I ask is that to much..
It is annoying to listen to people talk at times, no actually it makes me angry. You know what I’m saying, followed by, you know what I mean or not finishing the fragmented sentence with, I mean. No I don’t, what are you saying and what do you mean. No wait, thank you I will ask someone else. If you are commonly ignored maybe you should reconsider what you say to people and discover integrity.
Once I discover someone does not tell the truth you have lost my interest at times long before it ever got started. I want integrity in all my relationships and friendships. it’s the principal of the matter.

a prayer for peace
I pray for those of ours to have no pain
We know that today remains the same
As we fill our lives with daily cheer
There is many OLord that live in fear
As we ask from you our daily bread
There are many that lay helplessly dead
As the rest of us together will pray at least
We ask from you O Heavenly Father Peace
We know that today remains the same
As we fill our lives with daily cheer
There is many OLord that live in fear
As we ask from you our daily bread
There are many that lay helplessly dead
As the rest of us together will pray at least
We ask from you O Heavenly Father Peace
We The People
Recently I saw a poll implying there are overwhelming numbers of Immigrants that call the United States their home weather or not its temporary is no concern of mine;; what I find irritating is the fact we do not welcome them?
What irritates me more is the millions of dollars our beloved country pans out to foreign countries that do not want to have anything to do with the United States, its crippling to say the least, food and healthcare follow this thought.
If a group of people from any nation, bringing with them their culture, what America thrives on indecently that are willing to work filling in the work our people refuse to do, where s the problem?
To my surprise I have heard from one to an immigrant, speak English, and even the ignorance of , hey Brazilian! By the way, its Brasilero. However, what if they weren?t Brazilian but Peruvian? It is not correct to say, hey Asian, but you know that because we covered that in the early Eighties when Americans started practicing politically correctness, so why the surge of impoliteness?
I know why/? The bottom line is we are lazy! We have gotten soft over the years relying on unemployment, healthcare, and other state funded benefits. A strong economy, companies with lots of business both domestic and export, that offer vacations, sick days and personal time. Take these all away and more you will understand the influx of immigrants in our country.
Truly it astonishes me because when I was a kid we learned Latin in school, the schools had discarded the language as I entered high school? As the curriculum changed requiring four years of English and two years of a foreign language, either German, French or Spanish were needed to graduate was required at the time I finished high school? Respectfully, you make yourself look ignorant not learning in school another language, but don? fret these immigrants can speak English too. In their own country most are very educated and capable of having blue collar and white collar employment where they are from? It is our University standards that is holding them back from dominance in the workplace?
Immigrants, have brought to our country what our great nation is made of, leaving behind their own homeland for a prosperous life in the United States of America. Of which I might add are our neighbors bordering the U.S. to the south. They bring culture, language and strong working ethics much of what our country lacks now?
This last generation has watch their single parent working hard putting in long hours, never home with little benefits on the table. Quietly they objected starting out of high school, ?I will not work for less then ten dollars an hour,? I hae heard them say. Forcing employers to cutback benefits like healthcare, dental alike? Setting aside jobs in the intern that are less then minimum wage which have created a gap in the workplace where the immigrants are filling the void.
Informatively I have learned in the news polls that most Americans approve of immigration reform. And they support the workplace, taking up the slack in overtime such as healthcare, i.e., hospitals, nursing facilities where time is demanding.
Personally I embrace their culture, the food, song, and dance. American people seem unhappy to me as a whole for many years, where as the immigrants bring to the table what maybe the other immigrants have in the past. However, I am sure we will get over this one day too as we have in the past and welcome our neighbors to the south sharing their freedom of speech through language, song and dance and we will be friends forever; e nos fica amigos para sempri!

Why?
I am dumbfounded by the politicians in our country. We don?t seem as united as we should, foremost who should we blame the Republicans, the Democrats or the Independents?
Our country was built on pride at one time. We were strong, invincible and feared by many world wide. Proud of dying for what America stood for, Freedom. Our country was made from the American Indian, and Cowboys, Blacks, settlers from Italy, Ireland, Germany, France, China, Japan, people world wide. We were quick to point a finger hanging signs like, ?Irish need not apply;? also pointing the finger at the Japanese and Germans during the second world war. We as Americans bonded living together forming a country united.
The Republicans have always stood for business, manufacturing, build employment, the economy, work and reap the benefits. We were blue collar workers sweating American Pride building neighborhood from sea to shining sea. The Party stood strong until there was a correction in the stock market from a sag in the economy, the Bulls lost control. By that time most manufacturers were top heavy any way which gave them a reason to downsize; did the Republican party slipped?
No problem, the Democrats stood strong jumping in to give away the hard earned surplus created by the richly fulfilled economy helping those in need handing out cash for months on end for those not able to get a job, or lazy soaking the program until their funds ran out? I?m tired of hearing, I receive more from state unemployment than when I was working; where is your pride?
Now we have the Independents, I was once one, and admit I am ashamed at the fact as well. These people are changing the course of America, by means of indecisiveness I might add. These are the Soccer Moms, the Tree Huggers and the people that do not want to spank their children or keep score in fear of inflicting low self esteem on their children? Floaters I call them, incapable of making a decision and sticking to it then backing out of it at the sign of distress. This is our weakest link.
Our Government in tern is indecisive in the Senate and the House respectfully from Party Sliders, Floaters, changing the course of Politics; you disagree? No disrespect to our President but this pass election was not all Dems, it was the Floaters jumping on the ban wagon. Where are all his supporters now? As I mentioned, the first sign of distress they hide. ?We the People? are losing trust in our Government.
Living in Massachusetts it has been a standing joke with me, supposedly this is the Kennedy State, I disagree. However, start a conversation in politics and no one will admit they are Kennedy supporters; they didn?t vote for him! Again, no disrespect for Uncle Teddy, please; may he rest in Peace. However, my point is the nation has adopted this means of politics, floaters?
Then we have the Lawmakers on the hill filibustering over Laws and hearings of sports and steroids, let the people decide that. Remember what happened the last strike, what happened to the Montreal Expos-politics! The people were not happy and did not go to te games, it will happen. Let the sports gurus handle their own issues, We the People? have political concerns. Again, floaters, where is your backbone?
Alright Mr. President your first year is up? Enough worrying about text messaging while driving and lets get on with the politics and fundamentals that operate this country, and expose of the terrorism, establish healthcare, fix the unemployment, repair the economy, and stop giving our money to nations that do not like us, lets rebuild our nation?
There is much to be done in this country; water in the west for crops domestic and export; healthcare, research for disease control; alternative fuels, exploration of oil, oil refinery; our own homeless people and those in the wake of Katrina, let us be done with the foreign policy trash-they do not like the U.S.!

Forgotten Words
Have you ever said something you wished you could take back for instance left a message on a voice recorder for someone that did not make sense?
I woke today with a quote from President Obama, as reported on one of the news channels, he said I would rather be a good one term President verses a mediocre two term President.
Forgive me Mr. President however, by the people who vote you in to your position wouldn't you have to be a good President to be a two term President?
In addition to your remark and prior to
where was your Press Secretary? I do not think he would have let you say that as flamboyant as it came out-oops!
I believe it is comments of this nature that throw the pollsters over the edge. In my estimate you lost another three percentage points on the polls however, there is an amazing grace here, maybe the people that voted you in office did not understand that comment either and took that remark as an anti-bush bashing statement?
Mr. President in all due respect you are a mediocre President in addition time is on your side which may be your saving grace. However your power will reign on for decades more which might be when your light will really shine like mediocre Presidents of the past.

The Man
I see where Mitt Romney, Republican endorsed Scot Brown as senator, and an intelligent man Mr. Romney is, personally, I think we overlooked. Respectfully I refer to him as mister as his achievements surpass his last. He did an outstanding job with the organization of the Winter Olympics Committee 2003, as CEO to an Investment Company prior to the Olympics and as 70th Governor of Massachusetts from my political perspective was better than what we have currently. I think it is atrocious how we mix church and state as a nation, and we know better, but to push Mr. Romney aside because he is a Mormon is truly unorthodox. However, the Democrats had nothing to do with him, regrettably, he left and our Governor Deval Patrick has demolished our state of Massachusetts into financial chaos then implying the blame game, our economy or what have you.
I remember a man before his time, from the 1980?s, which was looking at our nation as a business, Ross Perot. I believe in his theology and so maybe does Mr. Romney this is only speculation for purpose of debate however the two are not compatible in the same conversation as achievers but both have the knowledge of big business and how they operate the United States as did the Bush?s.
Constantly we the people are challenge to choose and decide who has the image to uphold our country in desperate times as well as good times. The one that has the walk and talk the talk, who has the ability to pose fear in rogue nations during quiet times and the balls to defend our country under distress. Mitt Romney is that man. If you question that assessment look at those that could have been or almost were not long ago; I am glad we had President George W. Bush there in office.
I have questioned the strength and reasoning of the independents in many articles for floating party lines, and their indecisiveness.
Because to date we have no proof of their loyalty to our nation in good times or bad so I recall from the words of a late President Ronald Reagan who said, trust but verify; so let us choose our man carefully.
We chose our present President on the wrong foundation, respectfully he has lost the strength to lead our nation, and it is too late. However, an intelligent man he was to quick to sit in the Oval Office, I believe he needed more experience. My perspective about politics as I look back into history is you do need the experience to make decisions only manage the people that are select to organize the position.
So as we look on to the next election choose the man wisely, know his past, his beliefs, his image. Does he stand to tall or talk to much, does he have the ability too converse and manipulate in an organized manor; does he have the balls to implement fear but seduce the people on both sides of the isle? An Old Italian once said to me, be careful whom you vouch for, it could cost you.

Terrorists at Gitmo
At Guantanamo Bay, on the north side of Cuba not far off the shore of Florida there are many Muslim extremist imprisoned for the attacks of September 11, 2001 on he Twin Towers of New York, an act of conspiracy against the United States of America which carries the penalty of death when found guilty. These extremists are experienced gorilla warfare activists using Jihad as entente to rage a religious war against our nation. This is a rogue Army of separatists with no allegiance to their own people formed by Middle Easterner’s of the Muslim countries without any agenda only to cause harm and chaos to the western countries.
Over the years and directly after the invasion of Afghanistan where the extremist then based their camps and since President George W. Bush took office preceding President William Jefferson Clinton, the U.S. has used Guantanamo Bay as a prison outside of the U.S. for damn good reason, to keep the fascist pigs out of our country. Inside our own government, there is an act to close Gitmo, as referred by those in the military, and move the extremist to prisons inside the United States. No, this is not the right move because already we have problems with gangs inside our prison system. To bring an army of terrorists into the U.S. would be the worst idea imagined because of the mindset of these Muslims; they are not stupid, they are extremists conjuring up new ides constantly to create harm to American citizens and the people in the western world. In addition, it is a known fact they have sleeper cells laying quietly to our north, west and south hidden in cities and suburbs pretending to be citizens waiting for our weakest moment, they are neighbors watching every move. If released into our public we will have war inside the U.S. for the first time since the Civil War or the western Indian uprisings in the days of Geronimo and Sitting Bull.
Is this a problem, to say the least, an exaggeration maybe but a possible cause? Respectfully I remember the Japanese rounded up in the days post the attack on Hawaii, Pearl Harbor with questions of our citizens then friend or foe, an act truly injustice to our Muslim citizens now, and a reason that can be prevented by not allowing the extremists into the U.S.
So who are there Representatives and Senators that are pushing our President to do this forsaken act unimaginable releasing into the public sector of our prisons not criminals but warriors, an army of extremists, murderers that their own people fear. Politicians that are Democrats, Republicans or Independents, are these also the people that take scoring out of sports in fear of irreversible brain damage caused by reality, and to their children the trauma of making up rules in our schools not letting our children have an imagination; there are worse things on our agendas that need to be addressed.
I have known America most of my life to be the home of the free, a nation of fortitude based on freedom of speech and Democracy and the rights to preserve our country and protect our people, citizens from near and far. Yes, Mr. President I have issues with bringing another army into the United States of America. We the people have seen the chaos that our Homeland Security are fighting and want nothing of it, let us keep the extremists off are soil.

Second Opinion
Recalling one of the late Presidents commencement speeches where he noted you can even be president with a C average I am a firm believer that many doctors, nurses alike in the medical profession lack more than a grade average but commonsense as well. As many people adjust their careers to the needs of the economy late in life, fleeing to the medical profession I stare helplessly as many might have the intelligence but lack the common sense. Beware because if you are caught in the medical field as a patient you become an income to those overseeing you and no one likes to lose an account of any kind. Without an account there is no income and without income there is no party. There is a pill or ointment for every reason. There are some more intelligent than others however, so know your enemy. In addition, find another opinion to your issues. As another late President said, and I often quote, trust but verify.
