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 write.

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.

287(g) program (Jeff Sadow) theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/jeff_sadow/article_8ece1944-77ad-11e7-ad9b-2f2fde3a02e1.html

Thank you, Sheriff Gautreaux and supportive first responders in Baton Rouge. It is amazingly overt, but “landrieu” may be equivocated to “no common sense” for the people.

I’d like to see DWI reports include the fact, when so: “Citizenship was not confirmed.” The people, including persons who voluntarily collaborate for comprehensive safety and security, need protection from dissidents.

We suspect that dissident citizens, philanthropists who benefit from enslaving illegal aliens are the agents that warp “landrieu.” And “obama” invokes “AMO pope”, bent on conflict for chaos or collective democracy to overthrow the American republic.

Not on a willing people’s watch.

To Philip Frady: Your comment reminds me that the USA was established by nine states on June 21, 1788, and thus the country is only 229 years old.

Does one journalist exist? (George Will) washingtonpost.com/opinions/when-americans-stopped-trusting-the-government/2017/08/02/8280bad4-76e5-11e7-8f39-eeb7d3a2d304_story.html?utm_term=.f7835a56c9d1

A writer with Will’s experience and resources should be able to think. Alas, it seems from Will’s performance that creative writing and creative thinking just are not compatible skills. Honest pride in skillful writing seems to swamp service to the people.

Are you kidding me? 1968? The colonists stopped trusting government, first in 1774, when they changed their style to statesmen. And second in 1788 when they changed their central government from Union of states to statutory law and the institutions for enforcement under willing people in their states. I refer to the subject of the preamble to the constitution for the USA, “We the People of the United States [who are willing to trust and commit to this civic agreement].”

Other citizens are dissident to the agreement. I think Will is a dissident, The press has an obligation to educate the people. As a consequence of decades of writing for the press, most people willfully neglect the preamble’s agreement.

The 1^st Congress was a dissident, because rather than legislate so as to carry out the civic order created in the 1787 draft constitution for the USA, they reinstated theism and thereby legislative, ceremonial piety. They hired Congressional chaplains at the expense of the people then and now. By expense, I am referring to consequences beyond clergy salaries. Also, they extolled Blackstone, or English common law, which has retarded, for 228 years, the willing people’s ineluctable march toward comprehensive safety and security. Common law preserves an elite faction and oligarchy, whereas the preamble promises a republic.

Arthur Milikh, in “Ben Franklin, Media Critic,” National Affairs, No 31, Spring, 2017, online at nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/franklin-and-the-free-press, defines a republic:

Republicanism depends on the conviction that individuals have the psychological and physical ability to order their lives and to legislate for themselves and their community on the basis of their judgment.

For the agreement in the preamble to work, citizens may be humble enough to iteratively collaborate to discover civic morality. In mutual fidelity, willing citizens may establish freedom from oppression, in other words the opportunity to acquire the liberty to pursue personal preferences within comprehensive safety and security---to push the envelope of civic morality.

Writers for the press, by not understanding and promoting republicanism, have allowed their ratings and fascination with popular writing involve them in liberal-democrat, factional collectivism. The year 1968 is pivotal to the development of collectivist Alinsky-Marxist organizing (AMO), which has stymied the people’s march toward civic morality. Any journalist would empower the march toward comprehensive safety and security. However, willing people are awakened to AMO despite the press’s failures.

Willing people reserve the right to rebuke a dissident press, and President Trump seems potentially willing according to the preamble. He seems to work for civic fidelity despite any private error. It seems his civic performance is ascending. I voted for him twice and would vote for him with more hope and conviction today. I think this country has a paucity of journalists.

Paraphrasing the preamble in preparation for Constitution Day, September 17, 2017

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

A paraphrase: 

Willing people in our state want to establish and cultivate integrity, civic justice, peace, defense, prosperity, opportunity, and continuity for our children and grandchildren, and therefore, we authorize amendable statutes and institutions for the people of the USA.
