Phil Beaver works to establish opinion when the-objective-truth has not been discovered. He seeks to refine his opinion by listening when people share 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 1:  I often dash words in a phrases in order to express and preserve an idea. For example, frank-objectivity represents the idea of candidly expressing the-objective-truth despite possible error. In other words, a person expresses his “belief,” knowing he or she could be in error. People may collaboratively approach the-objective-truth.
 Note 2: It is important to note "civic" as in citizens for the people more than for the city.

Our Views (no hair braid licensing). I agree with The Advocate: pass the no-license-required bill.

To JT McQuitty: The article makes it clear that licensing causes unemployment, which hurts the economy. It's like government "shooting the people in the foot" (an idiom).

  

Today’s thought (Proverbs 28:13). If the sinner “confesses and forsakes” the sin, the person’s perfection is restored. Why then, does Dean spring to the idea “Only God can fix it”?

I do not recommend Dean’s misuse of explicitly good advice from Proverbs.

Letters

Coastal law suits (Barry, May 24). John M. Barry Who created the thought below?

"Science . . . does not compromise. Instead, science forces ideas to compete in a dynamic process. This competition refines or replaces old hypotheses, gradually approaching a more perfect representation of the truth, although one can reach truth no more than one can reach infinity."

If you respond accurately, I have another question.

LSU research (Valsaraj). Is it coincidental that ongoing work on the liberal-democrat agenda is not listed?

We see “computer scientists are improving . . . predict hurricane storm surges” and “impacts of . . . disasters on the most vulnerable coastal residents.”

But there’s nothing about the liberal-democrat agenda at LSU:  dialogues on racism, “social justice,” movements, women’s rights, etc. There’s nothing about Mass Comm’s computer work to help influence (control?) public opinion. That’s the LSU agenda I oppose, and I do not want another dime to go there for those programs.

Those programs train people to ridicule the-objective-truth and stonewall people who advocate collaboration to discover the-objective-truth. For example, Albert Einstein sad that a civic people don’t lie so that the public is not challenged to respond to a lie. The other day, a liberal-democrat educated in sociology at LSU and a self-proclaimed righteous Catholic used the phrase “poor Albert Einstein.” What folly LSU turns out! Of course, you can blame the student for not learning, but LSU granted the degree.

I work for voluntary public-integrity and think Valsaraj is blind to the failing side of LSU.

Parks upkeep (Normand). Not to slight Chalmette: It seems to me Mitch Landrieu has made the case that monuments and parks are none of the state's business. I no longer care to spend my money in his risky city.

However, I am only one of four votes in my family, so we just returned from a visit. Ladies in my family like to make a pass through the French Market to purchase gifts. My past routine was wait in Latrobe Park, maybe get a snack from Gazebo Restaurant, and read or take notes.

There's neglect there, especially the gift from Paris, the Wallace fountain in the west section; see crescentcityliving.com/living-in-nola/things-to-do/latrobe-park-new-orleans-in-photos. It’s identical to statues in Paris, except in Paris, they are painted green and have water flowing. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_fountain. Worse are the social conditions, which changed Gazebo to 5:00 PM closing. My ladies will not return there. I guess I’ll find a place to wait in the French Market.

In general, I am concerned about my long-term desire to be in Louisiana. I might retreat to my home.

Columns.

AMO vs Turkish gestapo (Rich Lowry). Louisiana’s law on freedom of expression is better than the USA law. It makes it clear that the speaker is responsible for the consequences.

For the second time, protesters demanding their perception of freedom-of-expression encountered internationally immune rebuke. Prudence calls for personal constraint instead of taunting guards from another country.

Yes, the police, if present are obligated by US law to protect the protestors. But US police are also obligated to defend the foreign gestapo. If US police get injured, the protestors caused the injury. Next time, arrest the protestors.

Contrary to Lowry’s call for “Not in our house,” protestors are well advised to spend their time and life for personal happiness rather than Lowry’s direction from the comfort of his desk. With this poorly thought out essay, Lowry took company with Alinsky-Marxist organizers (AMO), the source of amoral political activism in the USA for the past five decades and more. Google D. L. Adams + Alinsky, pick the first URL, and read about the story from Al Capone to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

  

Leftist press competing with National Inquirer (Bernard Goldberg). When you are part of the problem you can’t see it. Journalism is a dead profession.

The leftist media has always opposed republican candidates. However, Trump is not a republican candidate. He defeated the GOP to accept the DNC’s failure and become President of the USA.

I voted for him twice, not to make America great again, but to make America great. So far, I think he is doing a great job, and I am looking for more good news in the future.

I hope that at the end of the left’s rainbow is reform of freedom of the press such that never again will the New York Times, the Washington Post, etc., publish lies. I don’t always get what I want.

Some blacks cross the color line, too (Edward Pratt). Not to slight the Linton family, but lots of people wanted national integration orders in the late 20^th century to work. My children started in the 70s and finished Magnolia Woods, Lee High, McKinley, LSU, and one left as junior at Louisiana College.

  

Many people predicted that the blacks would not integrate. Some did not. Under a half century of Alinsky-Marxist organization (AMO), I think some black Americans regressed. It’s a story out of Chicago that starts with Al Capone and hopefully ended with Barack Obama.

Google “D. L. Adams + Alinsky” to read a scholarly view of the story. My curiosity to understand black power initiated in February, 2015, when I attended Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr.’s speech at Southern University. I did so because I did not trust the press to help me learn.

Today, I consider the press less reliable than black people. In 2002, I walked out of the sixth and last session of YWCA’s indoctrination on racism and white privilege, knowing that I had never had the feelings they tried to impose on me. I always thought I was part of the solution and acted that way throughout my life.

Today, in conversation with a black person, I’m suspicious that they erroneously pity me, because my skin color informs them I cannot relate to the suffering of slaves.

It’s been 12 generations since the preamble to the constitution for the USA was created. It offers willing citizens a civic agreement to, among other concerns, overcome the consequences of 9 generations of African slavery in this land and imposed by Africa and the Church. “Civic” refers to citizens collaborating to live private-happiness more than to help the city achieve an imposed “common good,” such as theism.

Almost no one can recite the preamble, but its ideas are in many 2017 citizens’ memes, regardless of ethnicity. It proposes voluntary public-integrity. I do not know a black person who says he or she uses the preamble, but I know many who act in concert.

It’s been 8 generations since emancipation of the slaves. It’s approaching 3 generations since the Civil Rights Act against racial discrimination. Some are good some not. Black power, black liberation theology, and the Congressional Black Caucus have effected a regress in public-integrity.

Hopefully, Mitch Landrieu’s tyranny will help us voluntarily admit a nadir in barbaric conflict to establish dominant opinion. Perhaps 2017 will be the year of ascent toward private-liberty-with-civic-morality in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the USA, and beyond.

Because these ideas exist here, we can be the people who first collaborate for voluntary public-integrity.

(We’ll be discussing the preamble and collaboration at the 4^th annual Ratification Day celebration, June 21, 7:00 PM at Goodwood library.)

Marxist or Nazi wit (James Gill, May 25). This column was cute but futile freedom of the press to throw obsolete daggers.

The Marx side of the Alinsky-Marxist organizer (AMO) has more to do with the oppressor-victim relationship than economics. The AMO objective is conflict for chaos. And the Alinsky side of it posits that egocentric definition of right-to-equality justifies violence (negating the vote). Let me repeat that: With AMO power, no need to vote. Thus, AMO may be expressed as Nazi-Marxist organized, and that is fair assessment of Landrieu’s brown-city-popular-movement.

During the Mitch Landrieu imposed ordeal over the very expensive proposal to change the character of New Orleans so as to represent the egocentric “victims,” I have suggested that the oppressor is the Bible that was canonized by the Catholic Church and the Church’s use of their Bible for colonizing the Americas using African slaves. Thus the Church is the oppressor and we are all the victims:  together.

I do not want an apology from the Church. However, I do want the people to learn to talk to each other rather than stonewall each other. Landrieu is clueless to the potential for: after Jackson’s equestrian statue, remove St. Louis Cathedral, St. Paul’s and all the rest---all to save Landrieu’s hypocrisy. Replace them with more inhumanity rather than people who secretly feel sorry for each other.

People may get acquainted with the reality by viewing James Baldwin who proudly feels sorry for white people in debate with William F. Buckley, man who is gullible unto himself, in Gill’s home territory I think. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFeoS41xe7w .

Broome letter to Dabadie (May 26 online). To Elaine O Coyle: Here's a problem. She's backed by AMO groups like Together Baton Rouge, who feel sorry for white people because they can't relate to the cruelty slaves suffered.

 

Descendants of slaves are incredulous that "whitie" does not feel grief for the construct: white privilege. (Some white people have so much pride that they are gullible to that emotion. I'm humble.) What they don't admit is that I would never be cruel to a person. Moreover, I also am a victim of Christianity: I was always a person who trusted-in and committed-to the-objective-truth. I had to dig out of the well of Christian indoctrination.

Some black-Americans are victims of perhaps eternal-ingratitude.

"Whitie" came here 400 years ago, discovered freedom-from oppression and liberty-to live and then discovered that England was enslaving them to oversee African slaves placed here for England's agricultural enterprise.

 

Some descendants of slaves are not grateful that "whitie" carried the slaves through the Revolutionary War, debated how to accommodate slaves when “whitie” created the USA, then conducted the Civil War to overcome the Catholic Bible, which yet condones slavery.

 

Instead, many blacks are now enthralled that Bible-condoned slavery is true, but the masters are black-skinned. The preamble to the constitution for the USA included the slaves in 1787 and is there for their descendants and everyone else who is willing to use it. It is a voluntary civic agreement.

Since the civil rights acts of 1964-5, the black-American opportunity for freedom-from oppression so each person may work for the achievement of liberty-to live according to personal preferences instead of somebody's impositions has been enslaved. The enslaver is Alinsky-Marxist organization (AMO), a combination of black power, black liberation theology, and Congressional Black Caucus. The method is community vigilantism with public disruption that has the potential for violence, so that neither the vote nor the republic matters. Activists lose their lives to the cause.

I know so little about this I look to perhaps Raymond Jetson (perhaps F. King Alexander's tutor), Together Baton Rouge, and other minster coalitions to explain Ms. Broome.

Meanwhile, like Abraham Lincoln, I look to a civic people for ultimate justice. “Civic” means citizens for humankind more than for the city. The city serves the people.

I don’t want supremacy. I want voluntary public-integrity so that I can live as a human being among humans.

 

Again to Coyle: I agree there are many blacks who appreciate people as persons. The problem is the present dominance of liberal democracy in America.

Someone with a male body says "I always felt like I'm a woman," and the US Supreme Court with it's totally inept god of dignity and equality, Justice Kennedy I presume, may think, oh, let's be fair to her and give her a female body. But he does not take the time to examine the brain and discover if the brain, like the body, is male.

Kennedy might be humbled by James Poulos’s statement, “Put bluntly, the case for human freedom cannot succeed if the case for being human fails.” See National Affairs, No. 31.

Poulos motivates me to borrow a thought about Frederich Hayek: What civic morality provides “the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free.” “Civic” refers to citizens collaborating to live for private happiness more than the common good beyond public safety & security.
