“Integrity is the core of our character.”

This is definitely an interesting and valuable thought. Thanks for including it!

'or the lack thereof', welcome to Amerika

I commend and respect anyone who can maintain their integrity (and morals) in a world where everything is for sale. Especially in the sphere of the White House.

Since Obama, Reed, Nancy, Franks, and the gang have no integrity, it must say something about their character,

Yes, and Compassion... If only America had... instead of manufacturing a war machine for profit

INTEGRITY IS COMPASSION! INTEGRITY IS MORALS!

NO, No, No, A boat or a ships hull can have integrity which has nothing to do with ethics or Morals - Compassion is a life force

Integrity: 1.adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty. 2. The state of being whole, entire, or undiminished; to reserve the integrity of the empire. 3. a sound, unimpared, or a perfect condition: the integrity of a ship's hull. Syn.: rectitude, probity, virtue. see honor. This is from Websters...and we are not seeing it in our current administration nor in 98% of our representatives.

The "shading" of the word applied is "honesty" Upright.
Integrity should be the core of our character, yet I have met many such characters who have a compromised hull.

America lost it's integrity a long time ago - and I'm not sure if America ever had integrity - you don't give smallpox blankets and massacre the indigenous population so you can take their land.
