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 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" refers to citizens who collaborate for the people more than for the city.

Our Views (Show Gov. Edwards to a La-Z-Boy). Pascanal Petreoff · 

It all Starts at the Top The Governors office................

I agree, Mr. Civic Citizen (those who collaborate for the people's lives more than for the city, state, or nation).

To Petreoff: I appreciate The Advocate’s continuing work on prison-management-reform.

However, this editorial did not make it clear that Edwards should retire from government. The Advocate seems to leave justice to the people. Hmmmm.

Today’s thought (Hosea 8:7). “Sin” is a religiously correct word for infidelity. For successful living, a person may choose to be aware of mirages and mysteries but maintain fidelity to the-objective-truth of which most is undiscovered but some is understood.

For example, you don’t throw sand into the wind. By always exercising fidelity and never repeating errors, perhaps each member of the human species has the oppurtunity acquire the psychological power to perfect his or her unique person.

Letters.

Transportation maintenance (Creel). I’m retired.

I plan most trips to stay out of the way. However, I would like to make life better for the working people, as well as me when I must travel during a time I cannot choose. I do not feel that I can afford not to support increasing the gasoline tax and using the revenues for comprehensively safe and secure transportation.

I am not a communitarian. However, I support George Washington’s fourth essential for individual-independence: “The prevalence of that pacific and friendly Disposition, among the People of the United States, which will induce them to forget their local prejudices and policies, to make those mutual concessions which are requisite to the general prosperity, and in some instances, to sacrifice their individual advantages to the interest of the Community.”

  

Appreciating the National Anthem (Heinrich). I agree

  

We, the people (Stagnoli). It’s not “we, the people.” It’s “We the People of the United States.”

That's the subject of the preamble to the constitution for the USA, and it is typical for citizens to neglect the civic agreement stated therein. There've been twelve generations during the 228 years since the first Congress was seated.

By neglecting the voluntary public-integrity the preamble offers, the people enslave themselves to alien influences such as bad politics, lobbyists, philanthropists, and Alinsky-Marxist organizers (AMO), who disrupt, expecting violence to emerge from passion.

Good grief! James Comey seems to think it is ordinary to take arbitrary, emotional action when he feels he is a victim of the Obama-Lynch system and then change tactics when his feeling change with a new regime. Worse, the media-writers are also nanny-state products.

Only We the People of the United States can provide civic justice, where “civic” indicates collaboration for fidelity in living more than competition for city, state, or national dominance.

  

Columns.

Recognizing hate (Cal Thomas). The people are divided into two camps: Those who collaborate for comprehensive safety and security so that each person may pursue the happiness they want rather than someone’s ideology and the camp of dissidents.

This way of living has been suggested in the USA for 230 years. It is stated in the preamble to the constitution for the USA as a civic agreement, where “civic” refers to citizens for the people more than for the city, state, nation, or world.

You, Mr. Thomas, by insisting on Christian morality or civil morality rather than civic morality are part of the problem. It is not too late for reform.

Nanny-state touch (Dana Milbank). Watching James Comey live, seeing his expectation that everyone will understand his role as the victim of Ms. Lynch’s instruction to not call the investigation of the US Secretary of State an investigation; hearing him say that he did not make notes about what he was told by the nanny-state regime; then hearing Comey-confusion between fear of President Trump yet allowing direct conversation rather than referring Trump to the Attorney General; noting that he was born in 1960 and was thus an adolescent when the Alinsky-Marxist organized (AMO) amoralization of American politics began, I realized Comey seems a product of the nanny-state.

With that curiosity, I looked up Milbank’s age. Perhaps I am onto something: These people expect someone else to give them integrity.

Opinion (Robertses). This couple seem to equate their opinion with knowledge and thereby claim President Trump is ignorant.

If their quote of Gorshuch is accurate, “judges can safely decide the law according to their conscience without fear of reprisal,” my opinion is that Gorsuch is ignorant: Judges may have their conscience corrected by the-objective-truth. I counted 123 “decision” overrules at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_overruled_United_States_Supreme_Court_decisions . So called “decisions” are merely majority opinion in a nine-vote democracy. Mob rule often prevails.

 

So many times everyone avoids what everyone knows: Islam seems a political regime wrapped in a religious revelation. Like typical left-liberals, the Roberts pair cannot think about the-objective-truth.

Perhaps the Supreme Court can, but it would be reform from recent performances.

My minority is the neglected majority (Calogero, R., June 9). It’s almost surreal these five decades after the Civil Rights Act against racial discrimination to read support for black favor among all the different races in this country.

More unjust is the American civilization that favors Judeo-Christianity, a group that is so fractionated that the largest factional group represents 20.8% of the population, whereas my group, non-theists, which accounts for 22.8% and is the largest majority ever discriminated against in this country. See pewforum.org/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/ .

“Civic” refers to citizens who collaborate for the people more than for the city, state, country, or world. A civic people may amend the First Amendment so as to protect thought, a human duty, rather than religion, an institutional imposition. Also, collapse freedom of speech and of the press into freedom of expression with consequences if harm results according to the-objective-truth.

Congressional Black Caucus should end (Page 3A). I write elsewhere that my group, non-theists at 22.8% compared to 20.8% the largest Judeo-Christian faction in the USA (pewforum.org/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/), is the neglected majority in the USA.

We non-theists carry an undue share of the expense of the black v white divide. We see everywhere evidence that a growing black sentiment is pity for whites because whites do not admit to privilege. See youtube.com/watch?v=i4VL2rVs2Q0 for example. Whites who fall prey don’t understand freedom-from oppression and opportunity-to acquire the liberty-to pursue personal dreams.

Also, there’s evidence that God is black, Jesus is brown, and the Bible accurately condones slavery, but slaves have non-black skin. Rep. Horton’s statement about the person's apology, “I know [forgive] is what God would want me to do,” needs awareness that perhaps according to the Natives of this country God is red-skinned (see the book God is Red, 30^th anniv ed, 2003).

Actually, since God is a private construct with intentions for personal benefits whether spiritual or political, there is no place for God in the state capital. I understand that is not a traditional message, but Judeo-Christian tradition is ruining this country, and I do not want it finally ruined.

It seems most people---civic citizens who collaborate for living more than cooperate with municipalities---want comprehensive safety and security, but elected leaders are focused on dominance: black vs white; white church vs black church; vigilantism vs the police; liberal-democrat vs fiscal conservative; nanny-state vs fidelity to the-objective-truth; lawyers vs the law; rich vs poor; the government vs the people.

It seems the people are divided: a civic people who want comprehensive safety and security vs dissidents. Perhaps we are now divided 1/3 civic, 1/3 passive, and 1/3 dissidents. With a shift toward 2/3 civic, there may be progress toward voluntary public-integrity.

By all means, “f--- you” is not a civic statement, and regret is not a consideration. It’s simply a dissident remark.
