Phil Beaver works to establish opinion when the-indisputable-facts-of-reality have not been discovered. He seeks to refine his opinion by learning other people’s experiences and observations. The comment box below invites sharing facts, opinion, or concern. (I read, write, and listen to establish my opinion as I pursue the-objective-truth.)
Note:  I often connect words in a phrase with the dash in order to represent an idea. For example, frank-objectivity represents the idea of candidly expressing the-objective-truth without addressing possible error or attempting to balance the expression.

Our Views: The governor claims our hands are tighter but our mayor wants to indoctrinate us with Dialogues on Race. The mere use of the term “implicit bias” helped ruin Mrs. Clinton’s chances to be elected.

 

IMO “Ferguson effect” is the response: If you are going to trash your neighborhood and shoot each other, I'm going elsewhere. I don’t know.

 

 “A state of mutual fear and anxiety is no basis for effective community policing.” The rest of that paragraph makes no sense. Try this:  A civic people authorize the police to protect the public. When a community protects criminals, they deny public safety and need to reform. However, the police are not responsible to serve as civic practitioners (a professional function similar to social work).
 

I agree that Louisiana is in a position to lead the rest of the country, but think the way is public-integrity as private-liberty-with-civic-morality. I see neither public action nor government nudges for those synonymous ideas. 

 

What I read and hear is that solidarity in racism, religion, and politics motivates Baton Rouge and Louisiana movements.

Today’s Thought. IMO an obstacle to public-integrity is “looking for love in all the wrong places,” recalling Jeremiah Wright’s singing at Southern University in February, 2015.

In public, love is often overboard, and we are better served by mutual appreciation. If 2/3 of the people could accept a few new words, like civic morality in public and social morality in private and religious morality in religious associations, we might discover that a super-majority already works for broadly-defined-civic-safety-and-security, hereafter Security. There’s no need to convert civic people, but there is every need to constrain the 1/3 dissidents against Security.

Cartoon. If Walter Cronkite were reporting today, he might say, “I never would have imagined the media would reach this integrity-nadir.”

 

Judge Davillier (Davillier). Are we to assume there was no disclaimer needed?

 

Corinne Cook (Simmons). It is wonderful to read such appreciation for a person.

 

Deplorables (Kuhn). Despite the liberal democrats of whatever political party, a civic people, those who practice the civic agreement stated in the preamble to the constitution for the USA, will prevail IMO. 

 

Alinsky-Marxist organizers (AMO) recruit people who are willing to risk involvement in rioting, broken windows, fire, injury, and murder. The mere word “organizer” or “activist” should sound alarms in people’s minds. I consider myself a civic activist, but I appeal to willing people to iteratively collaborate for a culture of mutual appreciation.

Froma Harrop column. A personal boycott is cathartic. However, systematic boycotts prevent iterative collaboration for a possible better future. They build brick walls rather than freedom of speech.

 

Stephane Grace column.  Thank you, Ms. Grace for citation of the dictionary. However, better be careful; you may constrain the battle for political correctness.
 
Moreover, IMO some of your thoughts seem less than thorough. For example, Richmond’s “fact-based view” is merely Richmond’s opinion. We battle for civic morality based on the-indisputable-facts-of-reality, thanks to my friend Gordon for the modifier “indisputable”. With the indisputable facts, there would be no Congressional Black Caucus. Borrowing Trump-words, citizens are characterized by blood color rather than skin-color.

 

Even a Merriam-Webster tweet can seem weak: Presenting “as having objective reality” is often mendacity. However, the-indisputable-facts-of-reality may be discovered only with objectivity.

Dana Milbank column.  Bush senior: “Should there not be an underlying standard of integrity for all?” 

 

What standard? We suggest the-indisputable-facts-of-reality, hereafter The Facts. They exist and may be discovered. They emerge from energy, mass, and space-time, hereafter physics. Mr. Bush’s standard may be dominant opinion rather than The Facts.

 

TJ: “The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest.”

Honesty is insufficient: The civic people demand public-integrity.

 

So far, Trump’s “art of the deal” seems to offer personal integrity in the demand for public-integrity. Writers who aspire to be journalists may meet the challenge.

Charles Krauthammer column.  Thank you for fidelity to your case.

I have never know a case for “I told you so,” more impressive than CK’s 8 years of columns against Obama.

 

I do not wish woe for anyone, but sometimes execution is in order for treason. 

 

Over the recent 4000 years, Israel has learned almighty supreme being or not, we must protect ourselves from global hatred. “Obama joined the jackals.”

Also, Obama revealed his intentions to expand his popedom over Alinsky-Marxist organizers (AMO) to cover all minorities rather than only blacks. But I am isolated in the minority of people who work for civic morality according to the preamble to the constitution for the USA.

Funding woes (Page 1A). Thank you Daryl Purpera for your work for the people.

N.O. $40 million (Page 1A). I wanted to learn where the $40 million would come from and found the information at nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2017/01/new_orleans_public_safety_anno.html. “The costs of the plan are being shared, officials said, with $16 million provided "from various city sources" and $23 million funded by the state-owned Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.”

Bodi (Page 3A). I don’t like disputes that could delay money to the people who need it, but Bodi White is doing his job for his constituents. I have no confidence in Gov. John Bel Edwards regarding flood relief.

(How could Edwards take a trip to the Vatican? People who gave money to his war chest should ask for refunds.)

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.
