Phil Beaver works to establish opinion when the-objective-truth has not been discovered. He seeks to refine his opinion by listening to other people’s experiences and observations. The comment box below invites readers to express facts, opinion, or concern, perhaps to share with people who may follow the blog.
Note:  I often connect words in a phrase with dashes in order to represent an idea. For example, frank-objectivity represents the idea of candidly expressing the-objective-truth despite possible error. In other words, the writer expresses his “belief,” knowing he could be in error. People may collaboratively approach the-objective-truth.

The Advocate:  See online at theadvocate.com/baton_rouge

Our Views. To Baton Rouge from My View:

 

Also, to make the statement that Mayor Broome's dialogues on racism and church are unconstitutional bases for civic governance, we will vote "no."

 

LSU's allegiance to Raymond Jetson also does not foster voluntary public-integrity.

 

It's a 2017 case of taxation without representation. Reform to make America great rather than "Great Again," is suggested from library meetings here in Baton Rouge but stonewalled by both Broome and Jetson among others.

Our Views (Korean parade). Not humorous: silly.

Today’s thought, Titus 1:16. Paul blindly rails against the Jews. 

 

Perhaps Dean is asserting that a Christian’s opposition to Jews must be sincere, or worse. Regardless, I sincerely reject Dean’s advice.

 

If you have not read, Paul Johnson on the Jews, I recommend his book: amazon.com/History-Jews-Paul-Johnson-ebook/dp/B000GCFX68/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492793316&sr=8-1&keywords=history+of+the+jews+paul+johnson . What a scholar! What a people! If you perceive that you are a victim, consider: worse victimization may have come to better people.

I think in 2017 Israel is informing humankind that civic safety & security is necessary for a people to pursue their personal interests.

Letters

Broome (Fisher). Nothing other than harsh, cold indisputable-facts-of-reality will help. 

 

The-objective-truth delivers woe whenever woe is invited.

 

COA response illegal? (Lanasa). I’m not certain I agree with your letter. But I wonder what’s next.

Stephanie Grace column. To John Bovis Stercore Gainey: I agree.
  

The Advocate has the chance to express voluntary public-integrity. Grace expresses insurrection.

  

The constitution for the USA, which as stated in the preamble is established and maintained by the people, states: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”

Merriam-Webster informs that “insurection” is “an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.”

The Advocate claims about the Landrieu acts against the people, “The process that led to the decision was both proper and typical of what happens in a representative democracy, in which individual governing decisions are made by elected legislators and reviewed by courts.”

Neither New Orleans, Louisiana, nor the USA is a representative democracy. The claim is insurrection against this representative republic.

The Advocate may fire Grace. It may apologize to the people of the Louisiana. More importantly, it may learn and adopt US citizenship. (I’d like The Advocate to support voluntary public-integrity and think it may if they perceive the moral advantages.)

Grace does not paint the picture of the “light of day,” but my vision of getting that job done is totalitarian show of military force. That is the liberal-democrat way: conflict for the sake of chaos. It has been the method used for the last five decades as the people ignored Alinsky-Marxist organization (AMO). The Advocate may help end that era.

 

Robert Samuelson column. Free trade isn’t easy. It involves needs and wants.

Free enterprise involves actual need for goods and services matched with actual ability to supply what’s needed.

James Carville guest column (W. T. Sherman). A good idea at a good time. Best wishes for success.

  

Byron York column (Trump has no veterans). Your thoughts highlight that career politicians do not practice voluntary public-integrity. That’s why the Trump administration is so promising.

Drake responds to objections (Page 1B). This does not foster confidence to tax myself for this system.

Edwards pride or Graves pride? (Page 1A). When gullibility induces pride, humility offers shelter.

  

I remember the stonewalling refrain: "Nice to see you."

  

Cowardly poll (Page 1A). Thank you, Grace Toomey and The Advocate for an informative article respecting the people who produced the survey and those who responded to it.

Mayor Broome freely expresses tyranny against the people: “She said she plans . . . working on . . . police civil service laws.”

It is well known that civil service laws exist to protect the people from a democratically-elected person who is ignorant or a tyrant or both. It is one of the features of the Louisiana Constitution that assures the people a republican form of government: the rule of statutory law. If Broome attempts to change the constitution, time to march on the capitol.

Political polls are subjective tools for propaganda. Some seem cowardly. The LSU faculty seems strangely disconnected from the people. For example, many black people have a God that has skin---black skin. Natives have red Gods that have no skin. It’s as though the faculty perceives public policy comes from public opinion rather than the rule of statutory law; as though Alinsky-Marxist organization (AMO) can triumph over voluntary public-integrity. It won't happen, LSU faculty.

Here are some alternative poll questions: Does habitual crime beg unexpected woe? Does judicial leniency for habitual criminals deny policemen the civic right to institutional support? Did two years of radical black rallies in Baton Rouge anticipate the Summer of 2016? May a governor tacitly indict police officers the morning after an incident? Are radical-protest-leaders responsible for unintended consequences? Do radical protests motivate sniper activity? Why does LSU produce subjective studies? Do you defend the USA as a representative republic? Do you believe there should be civic lies? What does the Louisiana Constitution say about free expression?

I’d like to see polls that disclose how uninformed the responders may be. Let the poll include statistics on answers to questions like: Is the USA a republic? What document contains the preamble? Does Louisiana have a constitution? Did Jeremiah Wright’s February, 2015 speech at Southern University influence either Earth Day fights in spring 2016 or protests in summer? What slavery was of prime concern to patriots in the colonies in 1765? Did black slaves have representation in the first Congress, 1789? Did Abraham Lincoln defend the constitution for the USA despite the Declaration of Independence? In the Atlantic slave trade, who were the sellers and who were the buyers? Does Louisiana have a constitution? Name the president of the USA. Name the governor of Louisiana. Who said, “Slavery is America’s original sin,” and is that the-objective-truth?

I’ll never forget in “Principles and Philosophy of Mass Communication,” asking visiting lecturer Donna Brazile, “When you help people to register to vote do you also coach them to be informed so as to express their personal preferences?” The silence may have stated that I was unwelcome.

La. Sheriffs (Page 1A). The sheriffs are sovereign citizens, too. I urge the Legislature to listen carefully to the sheriffs’ ideas and incorporate them into the legislation. Don’t just stonewall them, as you do a guy off the streets. I’ll never forget the time my green card was addressed, “Phil, do you feel you need to speak?” I responded, “I’d like to.” I don't always have such wit---might have said, "I guess not."

Paris terrorist attack (Page 1A). Parisian police are very good. I want the US judicial branch to get out of President Trump’s way. Unconstitutionally motivated judges are denying our police from the civil right of a supportive institution.

Gov. Edwards’ flood recovery plans (Page 3A). How can one man create so much misery and loss?

Every citizen may do all they can to avoid depending on state government. If the state speaks of safety & security and your mind disagrees, be self-reliant, I’m thinking.

Sessions’ comment (Page 9A). The killing of a policeman and another in Paris (1A) makes Sessions concern even more important.

EPA delay on methane (Page 10A). Good. Global warming may be happening, but mankind cannot control earth’s atmosphere.

Trump raps Iran (Page 11A). Iran needs to stop violating the deal. Trump discusses strategic action after it happens.

States that like Medicaid will own it (Page 11A). This should be obvious to governors, but Gov. Edwards may be too gullible about “the right thing to do” or too proud to notice.

Phil Beaver does not “know” the-indisputable-facts. Phil trusts and is committed to the-objective-truth of which most is undiscovered and some is understood.
