Phil Beaver works to establish opinion only when the-indisputable-facts-of-reality have not been discovered. He seeks to refine his opinion by learning other people’s experiences and observations. Please use the comment box below to share facts and opinion. (However, as of January 14, 2017, I realized I read and write to establish my own opinion and thus my work is neither dependent nor obligated beyond pursuit of the-objective-truth.)

Our Views:  In this one disgraceful event, the principles of Louisiana’s cultural conflicts are illustrated.

First there’s Chapter XI Machiavellianism: The religion-government-partnership can keep the people so bemused the partnership can do whatever it wants and the people don’t complain. From this principle comes political correctness, wherein dominant opinion or social democracy may dictate public policy. Fidelity to the-indisputable-facts losses significance to ever-changing symbols of civilization. In modern democracy, the sub-culture that takes for granted “side friends” and girlfriends as commonplace for wives is given consideration.

Thus, cultural morals, religious morals, social morals prevent consideration of civic morality. There is no possibility for political morality or public-integrity:  In contemporary democracy, fidelity is set aside so as to both nourish and satisfy adult appetites. Senators choose consider accommodating infidelity. One Senator attempts to turns a third chance into a second chance. Mayors challenge the police to accommodate the culture of adult satisfaction rather than enforce statutory laws that protect the public. Judges grant leniency, foiling the work of the police.

The culprits in this saga are a civic people. We estimate 2/3 of inhabitants, want broadly-defined-civic-safety-and-security but settle for divisive movements like Together Baton Rouge, Moment or Movements, Manners of the Heart and other faith-based works. Religious movements are naturally divisive. In a civic culture, every real-no-harm faith-based or other cultural preferences thrive without either imposing or yielding to coercion.

The responsibility for establishing a civic culture rests with the people rather than either God or the government.

Today’s Thought. I mean no offense to readers who love this long-standing feature. I am offended by the absence of ideas that could promote appreciation for trust and confidence in the-objective-truth (I now pay my subscription cost but may not always so subjugate myself).

John wrote, “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.” Also, “This is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.”

These thoughts from John might inspire dedicating my death to a future. However, for life, I want perfect fidelity to the-objective-truth, whether discovered or not. Therefore, I care more what I do than what I imagine.

Dean’s interpretation is OK by me for him, but I prefer mine for me.

Stupid hatred (Erenberg).  “We reject him” begs woe, and delivered woe feels bad; bad; bad.

Ms Erenberg, please come out of your imaginary world long enough to define “LGBTQ equality.” Does it mean equal opportunity to turn feral human-infancy into a nightmare? OK, then it is good for Price to nudge opposition: it seems self-evident that successful living requires fidelity to the facts rather than personal imagination.

No? I hope to address your definition.

Even if Price uses Bible interpretation for his personal comfort, your religious hope is no substitute for his, but you both may face reality.

The Bible attempts, in 4000 year-old terms, to express the-indisputable-facts-of-reality. But Price and others can impose on Bible-interpretation the understanding of human biology and psychology.

“NCJW believes . . .” However, a civic people act on the facts. Cassidy and Kennedy have demonstrated that they believe in God but act on facts. They stake their lives on reality and their deaths on faith. I hope they ignore your attempts to impose your dream-world on the public.

Abortion (Davies).   Some sincere responses to your hypotheticals. The woman has more value than her embryo due to her independence, duty, and responsibility. If the unborn, after the 8-inch journey does not implant onto the womb, it perishes without notice. Once implanted, it may be relieved of biological errors by natural abortion. The ultimate natural abortion is the mother’s decision, for whatever reason, to not continue gestation.

Fertile women know they produce a viable ovum about 13 times a year during about thirty years. The woman with personal autonomy has collaborative association with her viable ova. She seeks an authentic man, who will collaboratively associate with both her and her viable ova. No other man is worthy of her attention and risk to her viable ova. Only a couple who intend to be faithful to a viable ovum’s potential children are worthy of conceiving.

In the quest for a successful candle of life, the useful reference to Jesus is this: You may live perfectly. I learned that idea from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay at emersoncentral.com/divaddr.htm , an American underground writing that is understandably suppressed by the Christianity business-sector. I’ll let you discover Emerson’s source. It took me 15 years to climb out of my cave of indoctrination enough to perhaps understand Emerson's claim.

Richard Cohen column.   So many time opinion against a person’s person rather than opinion is reversed in the expressions: “Here was the liar in full contempt for [the-objective-truth].”

Cal Thomas column.  I think people in 97% of America’s counties voting for Trump is interesting. I do not like the list of American mistakes in foreign interventions, but appreciate Thomas’s essay.

E.J. Dionne column.  Dionne is uncommonly willing to champion a loser: liberal democracy. Keeping Obamacare would threaten all Americans; so what’s with this “real Americans?”

Edward Pratt column.  This week seemed cut and pasty. It’d be creative to show how Obama countered James Meredith’s claim, “[Since 1966, duty] and responsibility are . . . the part the black race has failed to pay any attention to." At Meredith’s prestige in Civil-Rights justice you’d think somebody would take the responsibility to respond.

Troy Brown (Page 1A). Does Sen. Yvonne Dorsey-Colomb recommend a culture wherein all women submit to infidelity and which supports a husband who also beats the girlfriend? Is this lifestyle intended for life? How is that life defined? Is it feral? Cultural? Communal? Civil? It certainly does not seem civic. Where’s James Meredith’s argument?

I’m reminded again of James Meredith’s claim, “[Since 1966, duty] and responsibility are . . . the part the black race has failed to pay any attention to." At Meredith’s prestige in Civil-Rights justice, the leader of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Cedric Richmond could weigh in---perhaps lend some guidance to the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus.

What a way to initiate MLK weak! Let’s have a mayoral conversation on Dialogues on Race and church. Together? Are you kidding me? The facts-of-reality in Baton Rouge and in Louisiana are unbelievable!

Right to marry (Page 1A). IMO common-law marriage might suffice to relieve this man’s predicament. So the will to sue on his behalf of others seems just another attack on a civic people by a social-democracy lawyer or contemporary-liberal lawyer. A civic people are not responsible for an individual’s papers, and the importance of personal identity is known worldwide.

Vatican partnership (Page 3A).  Louisiana citizens will miss the execution of the office of the governor as Edwards leads in the furtherance of a Vatican-Edwards-partnership. This is not the function of governor of the Great State of Louisiana. Yet the people, according to Chapter XI Machiavellianism, may be expected to tolerate Edwards’ misbehavior. After all, it is perhaps a one-time opportunity for him and his entourage to pick the people’s pockets.

Of prime interest is keeping the Mexican corridor for Catholic-sponsored refuge from Central-American terror. Latin-American coyote systems sending and Catholic-Charities in Louisiana receiving.

It is a civic people’s duty and responsibility to themselves to end the losses and misery imposed by the religion-government-partnership.

Sadow column oline. I agree with Sadow. Rather than consult with Senator Cassidy Gov. John Bel Edwards acted on his campaign promise and the slogan, "It's the right thing to do," rather than the-indisputable-facts. Now, he harps on Medicaid expansion as though it is his signature accomplishment rather than a failure. Gee seems to help hide the facts.

Phil Beaver does not “know”. Phil trusts and is committed to the-objective-truth of which most is undiscovered and some is understood. Phil Beaver is agent for A Civic People of the United States, a Louisiana, education non-profit. See online at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com.
