Phil Beaver works to establish opinion when the-objective-truth has 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. If you like the wok, share with people who may be interested.
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.

The Advocate:

Our Views. Sand piles and silt cost labor and wash away. Bagged sand is unnatural.

Consider moving to higher ground.

Today’s thought. Isaiah 26:3. Humility toward the-objective-truth repels gullibility.

Letters:

 

Obamacare (Skinner). “Active person of faith” has no bearing on civic morality and insurance applications: behavior and habits affect health. Taking care of self is four times more effective than health care services.

The civic question is, does your behavior cause harm? See for example, Page 2D: some doctors will not operate on patients whose habits cause high risk during surgery.

Habits beg incidental consequences. Under doctor’s orders, I abstained from alcohol for a few days to qualify for his triple-bypass-surgery. During the wait, I needed to run to retrieve a pet but did not risk a heart attack. The pet was lost . . . to a saddened yet grateful family. We regret losing Stymie.

 

Cassidy attack (Flournoy). It seems to me Flournoy is practicing Alinsky-Marxist organizer (AMO) rule twelve: Isolate a Senator from the Senate and ridicule his or her humanity in order to gain public sympathy. 

 

AMO may be defeated by focus on the-objective-truth.

 

But it seems to me Cassidy offers this federal proposal to people in their states: If you like Obamacare, keep Obamacare. Readers, do I misunderstand Cassidy's proposal?

 

Robert Samuelson column. Are you resisting the fed increasing interest rate?

Melinda Deslatte column. I see she mentioned “mental health programs.” I hope that’s in the works and includes facilities and staff.

Michael Barone column.  One problem with typical writers is that they build a case for change but offer nothing. 

 

Barone asks if “a complacent nation can learn to take the risks necessary to achieve success once again,” but offers no action to take.

 

After 230 years of neglect, I suggest willingly trusting and committing to the civic contract stated in the preamble to the constitution for the USA. Person’s commit to civic republicanism: Earn private living and collaborate for mutual civic justice.

Coke and Steve Roberts (Page 1B). The Roberts’s beg woe. 

 

Let them consider accepting people from terrorist-tolerant countries to defend either faithful Sunnis, faithful Shiites or Phil Beaver, one who observes the law yet is faithful to the-objective-truth.

 

I propose to vet applicants for immigration and if they pass, ask them to paraphrase the preamble to the constitution for the USA. If the paraphrase is adequate, ask them to sign a commitment to trust and effect its civic agreement. If not, can’t enter.

 

Felon voting (Page 1B). This case is a good illustration that the preamble to the constitution for the USA may be used to distinguish a civic people from dissenters. A civic people willingly collaborate to achieve the aims and purpose of the preamble.

 

By all means, I hope Judge Kelley rules that changing “under an order of imprisonment” to mean “in prison” would require amendment of the 1974 state constitution.

 

To Scuddy Leblanc: I think first offenders should be required to study, comprehend, and adopt the preamble to the constitution for the USA.

 

Anyone whose offense denies them suffrage should be required to paraphrase the preamble to the satisfaction of the court, then sign a statement of trust and commitment to their paraphrase.

 

Walt Green (Page 1B). We hope AG Sessions takes Green's resignation as an act of full cooperation yet takes advantage of the wonderful recommendations by the managers of the people's first responders in the Great State of Louisiana: Please rehire Walt Green.

 

Our first responders are first in our minds and hearts, and when they need someone, we need that someone.

Grand Coteau (Page 2B). The picture reminds me of an unforgettable conversation I wish I had not started. Sometimes I'm too curious and open-minded.

 

I visited for a crafts and books event and made the mistake of asking why the girls there wear such short skirts. The haunting response was, “Let’s just say: It’s titillating,” delivered with a hearty smile of human humor.

I’d like to see Louisiana culture reform. Preserve feminity without the titillity.

But Catholic propriety is really none of my civic business, you could say.

Surgery refused by doctor (Page 2D). “Smoking isn’t the only behavior patients may be asked to change as part of ‘surgical optimization.’ Obesity and diabetes also decrease the chances of a successful surgery.”

 

My surgeon asked me not to drink alcohol for several days before my triple by-pass. I’m always reminded we lost a dear pet during those days.

Associated Press (Page 1A). AG’s normally replace federal prosecutors, but Sessions is not meeting the Associated Press’s propriety this time.

Smartphones (Page 1A). I guess if I’m paying for them I might as well get one (for MWW).

Associated Press (Page 8A). Obamacare woes: Not one word about healthy behavior, known to be four times as effective as health-care-services.

Turkey (Page 10A). There’s more than one way to create relationships. Turkey has a method.

Utah 0.05 limit (Page 10A). That’s the way the preamble is supposed to work the people in their state take care of civic morality as they think best. Notice that President Trump is restoring that principle.

 

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, an education non-profit. See online at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com.
