As we come to the end of 2009, I wonder how or why can the Senators and the Congressmen and women turn a deaf ear to those who sent them to Washington. And I believe I’ve found the reason in a few quotes, let me know if you agree or disagree.
If Brian Tracy is correct, and it is a matter of trust, and trust is based on integrity, what is integrity? So once again let us look at what other men have stated on the subject of integrity: Spencer Johnson said, “Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.” Francis Bacon said, “It is not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.” And Doug Firebaugh stated, “Integrity is not something that you should have to think about...nor consider doing...but something in the heart that is already done.”
If we the led can no longer put faith in the glue, what are our objections? Alan K. Simpson said, "If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters." It is my personal belief, that the glue that has held our relationship since the foundation of this Republic between the leader and the led, is gone because integrity is no where to be found in the halls of the Congress or the Senate of this United States of America. How can God bless America when its leaders are void of trust?
God have Mercy on us,
