Here it is thanksgiving day a holiday for most For those who are grateful for what they have today Can share the real meaning of being the host Of friends or family or a stranger who passed this way
Pilgrims came to Plymouth's shore on the sailing ship And learned from the native people to grow their food They divided the land for each at the end of the trip And shared all work and rewards for the common good
Then some failed to do their share of proper farming There was no incentive the leader sensed the reason No matter how they worked or didn't it was alarming Resentment filled their hearts every harvest season
So they issued land to each equal in amount of acres Farmers grew and sold their goods and got their pay And thus started free enterprise for all the takers Private ownership of land, a value that stands today
So we have the right of ownership and the freedoms too Something to really be thankful for with liberty to boot The pilgrims paved the way for Americans to be true Capitalists and not colectivists, now ain't that a hoot.
Happy thanks giving to all. May God bless you and make your lives fulfilled.

My grandfather told me when I was just a high school student that a person who has no integrity is just an empty shell of a person without character.
People who lack integrity can lie without thinking about the consequence of their actions. People who lack integrity can make false promises with the internal knowledge that they will not even attempt to make those promises come true. I am reminded that Hillary Clinton, in a speech several years ago said "my mother named me after Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to successfully climb Mount Everest. He successfully conquered Mount Everest in 1953 and was Knighted soon thereafter. If Hillary Clinton had been telling the truth she would have had to be born after the Knighting.
Now lets see, how old is Hillary Clinton, 60? Well, she was born October 26th 1947, 6 years prior to Sir Edmond Hillary being Knighted. That makes it quite impossible for her to be named after Sir Edmund Hillary. It seems like a small point, but what drove her to lie?
The lack of personal integrity, made it possible for her to make a statement that was clearly a fabrication. When a person doesn't have integrity they have no clear intra-personal guidance system to force them not to fabricate things about themselves.
Presently, she is saying that she is uniquely qualified to be President of the United States of America. I ask, why so?
After the Terrorist attack 9/11/2001 on the UN towers, she co-sponsored legislation to give money to the family members of those killed in the attack. The record shows that the next legislation she co-sponsored was in 2004. What did she do for her pay check during the three years that there was no forthcoming legislation.
If she is uniquely qualified to become President, I wonder how her lack of leadership in the Senate shows that to be true. You would think that a Senator who is uniquely qualified to be President would have been elected by her peers in the Senate to a leadership position in that body.
HMMMMMM, another lie perhaps!
