Our Views (Stop paying the legislature).
I agree with
The Advocate's tacit claim that Louisiana lawmakers are adolescent. I add that
the administration seems adolescent and should gut their salaries.
But only a
civic people can reform lawmakers and administrators. “Civic” refers to
citizens who collaborate for living more than cooperate with the city, state,
and nation.
In 1790, 99% of
the people were factional Protestants and 5% of free citizens could vote.
Today, only 14% practice the Protestant traditions but 100% may vote. The
majority of the population does not claim a religion.
With religious
commonality gone, the people may voluntarily turn to comprehensive safety &
security for public-integrity. For example, since every child is potentially an
elite citizen, every child should have the opportunity to acquire an elite
education. Louisiana GDP would move to unheard of high levels. Dissidents would
still face statutory law but with increasing civic justice.
Today’s thought
(Hosea 6:6).
Justice comes from a civic people---those who collaborate for comprehensive
safety and security so that each individual may pursue their person’s fidelity.

New York Times mendacity (Cal Thomas).
I agree. Global
warming is a hoax.

President Trump is human and that is why I voted for him
twice: once against the GOP and second against the DNC; both times against the
media and for a civic people---citizens who collaborate for the people more
than for the city, state, or nation.
What we saw in the Comey June 8, 2017 public statements is
the consequence of the nanny state and moreover, the amorality of American
politics that emerged over the last five decades with Alinsky-Marxist organizing
(AMO), a confluence of at least five erroneous religions.*
Many times, Comey said, I recall, “I was confused by . . .”
or similar expression of his abject human adolescence. He was hesitant to
behave with civic morality when A.G. Lynch told him not to report an
investigation as an “investigation.” But nothing then inspired him to create
records of the awful treatment the world was imposing on him! He was a victim!
But he was hesitant and AMO-cunning when President Trump said he hoped Comey
will get through the Russian falsehoods quickly.
Comey, born in 1960, was adolescent when Saul Alinsky
published his book, “Rules for Radicals” (1971); James H. Cone his book, “Black
Power and Black Liberation Theology” (1969); and naming the Congressional Black
Caucus (1972). AMO tactics are being used by feminists, by gays and lesbians,
and now by transgender thinkers, thanks to Al Capone and Barack Obama (see
Adams). Comey demonstrated what James Poulos invokes: failure of fidelity to
personal humanity. Poulos wrote, “The case for human freedom cannot succeed if
the case for being human fails.”**
Worse yet,the media are at the heart of the amoralization of
America, as President Trump so aptly expresses. What needs to happen next is
for Congressional attention to turn from the perpetual foreign desires to
influence American politics to the prosecution of Ms. Lynch, Mr. Comey, Ms.
Clinton, and if possible, Barack Obama.
Meanwhile, I look forward to the better action from
President Trump and his administration: Making America great is more important
than prosecuting the guilty: Leave it to Congress.
