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.
A personal paraphrase
of the preamble by & for Phil Beaver: We the willing people of nine of
the thirteen United States commit to and trust in the purpose and goals
stated herein --- integrity, justice, collaboration, defense, prosperity,
liberty, and perpetuity --- and to cultivate limited services by the USA, beginning
on June 21, 1788.
Composing their own paraphrase, citizens may consider the actual preamble
and perceive whether they are willing or dissident toward its agreement.

Good grief! The Advocate seems to think the USA is petitioning
Louisiana! “We urge Lighthizer to come to Louisiana to listen to the trade
businesses firsthand.”
I urge Louisiana’s governor and Congressional delegation to
visit Lighthizer and represent Louisiana’s No. 1, the people. (Not merely the
voters and not merely taxpayers, I add.)
(As though I could influence either elected officials, The
Advocate, or the people.)
Today’s thought,
G.E. Dean (Psalms 143:8, CJB)
“Make me hear of your love in the morning, because I rely on
you. Make me know the way I should walk, because I entrust myself to you.”
Dean says “Start your day with the Lord. He will help you throughout
the day.”
David and Dean assert that the Lord is in charge of everything.
Yet, believers need to tell the Lord to love, be reliable, and dictate
behavior. After five decades of trying to conform to such blasphemy, I chose to
exercise fidelity to the-objective-truth rather than imposed speculation and
fear.

I appreciate
your suggestion and forwarded to my state representatives my support for

I
nominate Barnes’s writing as nonsense of the year 2017, especially, “It
is not up to the citizens of the state as to how to manage the assigned
finances but to the government of the state.”

Sophisticated minds (Rich Lowry)

Here’s a writer
who opines the sophisticated mind is really gauche; foolish. See business-standard.com/article/opinion/a-sophisticated-mind-113052401031_1.html

Perhaps Lowry
was foolish to choose this topic. I think so.
Meaningless meaninglessness (David Ignatius)
usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnists/2017/09/24/trumps-welcome-flirtation-un/689840001/
Ignatius seems disingenuous when he
does not admit that President Trump put the responsibility on the United
Nations. Also, his warning to destroy N. Korean, in my view, was addressed to
the KJ-un “depraved regime.” President Trump spoke for the North Korean people
as well as for the rest of the world that want’s justice.
But Ignatius’s professional meaninglessness
comes in his last cuteness: “Mr. President, let’s see what you’ve got.” Liberal
democrats want to constrain President Trump in a vacuum so as to rule the
world. Such meaninglessness won’t work.
Respect vs appreciation (theadvocate.com/new_orleans/sports/saints/article_8a295af8-a17d-11e7-83bb-4b699754ee38.html)
Anyone who abuses
the protection of the United States of America deserves neither respect nor
appreciation. Perhaps the NFL will shut down over demands for ticket refunds.
President Trump said
“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners . . .” See youtube.com/watch?v=vrW-GI_9IL8.
I don’t know if past presidents were as effective in expressing themselves as
President Trump is: He leaves no doubt as to his views.
President Obama,
lives the Robert Frost quote that a liberal can’t decide which of his opinions
he supports. He spent nine minutes stating that unrespectable people should be
respected [rather than fired], then claims that the protections of the United
States armed forces must be, in the end, appreciated. See youtube.com/watch?v=VPqOotT_ta8
.
Obama, and his
kind, liberal democrats, demand conflict for chaos. Democracy should be avoided
like the plague. Willing people must preserve American republicanism --- the
rule of statutory justice, otherwise known as the rule of law. (Drew Breeze
rambled like a liberal democrat.)

Atheism is a leap of faith I cannot take, so I trust-in and
commit-to the-objective-truth (that's not "objective truth,"
"truth," "Truth," "absolute truth" or any other
impostor).
Humankind does not know if the limits of human perception
have been reached. When I was a boy, I learned of five ways to perceive. Then I
added imagination for six. There are URLs about ten dimensions; maybe more.
Perhaps it takes more than ten dimensions to perceive
whatever controls the-objective-truth.
I wish my devout dad was alive so that I could express
appreciation for whatever inspired his goodness. Thank you, Dad.

We may be specific. The NFL players who stood with their
hands over their hearts during the playing of the national anthem took the best
course of action in regard to addressing equality. Especially, the lone
Pittsburgh Steeler did the right thing for himself.
Regarding the ones who sat, took a knew or otherwise
expressed dissidence to American civic morality, it depends on their motives
and convictions as to whether they took the right course of action for them. If
ticket sales fall, owners will seek ways to maintain profits; salaries may
suffer; the league may never recover.
During 1720 to 1765, the British colonists that realized
they were being enslaved by their homeland, fellow subjects objected and
eventually declared independence. They stated willingness to lose life,
liberty, and fortune. They also knew that if they won independence, they would
assume responsibility for the African slaves African and European traders had
placed in this land.
If NFL dissidents and other entertainment celebrities are
acting under comparable conviction and dedication, they are following the
American civic morality. Their success/failure is in the hands of the tribunal
of the American people. Consider, for example, the Civil War, waged by white
champions of “more erroneous religious belief” (see the CSA’s declaration of
secession). The American tribunal determined abolition of slavery.
If some dissident NFL players’ cause is misguided, they face
an awakening. For example, freedom of irresponsible speech; the common sense
that we are not free to yell “fire” in a crowded space. Consider the Louisiana
constitution respecting freedom of expression: it holds the speaker responsible
for consequences. Thus, if, through errant speech, an employee gets fired, his
case is not likely to stand in a Louisiana court.
If they are volunteering their celebrity for one of the
Alinsky-Marxist organizations (AMO), such as Black Lives Matter, Obama’s OFA,
an affiliate of Industrial Areas Foundation such as Together Baton Rouge, or
other, I’d say they are at risk for someone else. In other words, they have
enslaved themselves to an organization they may not really like.
Do I think NFL players are that psychologically and
politically adolescent? Yes.
Each human being is born unequal, because he or she came
from a genetically unique ovum that was fertilized by a genetically unique
spermatozoon. The consequential conception is unequal to all others. If the
conception survives implantation, gestation, delivery, child care, and
education, his or her future is in his or her hands. There is neither
inequality nor equality in human existence. I’m not sure many players
understand that paragraph, but they are subject to it or a more qualified view
of the-objective-truth.
One other point: For the past five decades, the USA has been
subjected to an attack on American republicanism; in other words, the rule of
law; in other words, the constitution for the USA; in other words, the world’s
best hope for the march toward civic justice. The attack was begun and is
continuing under the claims of liberal democracy; in other words, factional
conflict; in other words, the march toward chaos. A severe blow to liberal
democracy was delivered by AMO, and that is now becoming clear.
Willing people of the United States (in their various
states), will not allow the USA to fall to liberal democracy. And that is the
force some NFL players and other celebrities face. I, personally, would not
risk it, but to each his or her own.
