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.   

Our Views (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/our_views/article_404bd964-93d2-11e7-8b05-1f05b5a042e8.html)

We, the people of Louisiana who trust and commit to the civic agreement stated in the preamble to the constitution for the USA, may protect ourselves from The Advocate’s unconstitutional writing: “. . . messy, as the work of any representative democracy must inevitably be.” We live in a republic.

Here’s the pertinent statement in the Constitution, Article IV, Section 4: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”

I propose to strengthen the First Amendment in order to protect a “free and responsible press.” Then, so as to protect the press from the press, pass legislation so that when a media publishes unconstitutional claims as fact they may be fined up to one year’s gross income. Press responsibility is much like vehicle-driver constraint: without speeding fines, some drivers get out of self-control and require constraint.

The Advocate is a media that needs civil constraint.

On the other hand, The Advocate can make the argument that despite the constitution, they are a dissident voice for “representative democracy” and are thus dissidents, or, referring to “the work,” anarchists. I would not claim to know better.

However, if that is their position, it places them in the company with Alinsky-Marxist organizers (AMO), that faction of citizens who justify violence to assert their demands privileges they want when they want them, asserting the arbitrary label “human rights,” disregarding the-objective-truth.

But to defeat American republicanism, The Advocate has a huge task ahead. A few examples will illustrate. First, without the rule of law there is no American greatness, but there is chaos. Second, to have representative democracy, 1) the Electoral College must be done away with, 2) the rule of 2 Senators per state must be revised, 3) judges must have term limits, and 4) there must be some provision against block voting.

“Block voting” needs more. Federalist 10 speaks of protecting the majority from a minority and vice versa. It raises the question of collective factions forming a majority. This is the goal of liberal democracy --- to create a collective that can dominate elections. For the past five decades, efforts to dominate using collectives has made inroads, but in the presidential election of 2016, the voice of the people who want the rule of law as American republicanism won.

President Trump was willing to run for president, and Americans who want the rule of law perceived him to be the person most likely to make America great after 230 years of misguided political regimes. President Trump said it would not be easy, but no one expected liberal democracy to be a domestic-terrorist movement. “Representative democracy” must be overcome to preserve the American republic.

One is constrained to ask, how can The Advocate write against American republicanism. I speculate that the cause is five decades of teaching by liberal-democrat professors in “journalism” schools like LSU’s School of Mass Communications. There, I understand they teach that public opinion determines public policy, polls inform public opinion, and the media control polls. These principles represent tyranny by the media, inspired by liberal-democrat professors. Part of the “journalism” scheme is to impose thoughts like “representative democracy” until an indolent people accept as fact that American republicanism or the rule of law no longer applies.

I think 2/3 of the American people want comprehensive safety and security so that they can pursue the happiness they perceive rather than subject themselves to the dictates of liberal democracy, theism, the Truth, God’s truth, or any other way of living another person would impose on them. Most Americans demand sincere liberty.

A couple other points. First, the defeat of Flight 93’s hijackers was made possible by public information shared on a cell phone in a heartfelt, sacrificial commitment by two family members. Civic justice comes from the people.

  

Second, to make America great, most people may adopt “conformity and obedience” to a culture --- the culture of civic justice. In other words, comprehensive safety and security so that willing people may enjoy sincere liberty, even though dissidents persist and require civil constraint when their harm is discovered.

To JR McQuitty. The First Amendment, as you know, addresses two freedoms of expression: “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.”

The Louisiana Constitution improves on the US Constitution respecting both issues: “No law shall curtail or restrain the freedom of speech or of the press. “Every person may speak, write, and publish his sentiments on any subject, but is responsible for abuse of that freedom.”

While I pay full subscription price for The Advocate, I do not consider that a license to abuse neighbors, willing citizens, or dissidents; I write responsibly. However, I feel, with five decades as a subscriber, that I have vested interest in my hometown newspaper’s performance. The Advocate ought to be a record keeper in our quest for civic morality rather than a sponsor in liberal democracy’s drive to defeat the rule of law.

However, Louisiana needs legislation to provide enforcement. For example, a fine or incarceration for yelling “Fire” in a public place, depending on consequences. When The Advocate writes that America is a representative democracy (in order to influence people to accept that notion or for whatever reason) legislation provides for a fine of one year’s gross profits.

While a person must be held to be human, The Advocate is an institution with a professional, ethical code that calls for responsibility. It calls for a free and responsible press. Any judge can read and present to a panel, whether it be a judicial panel or a jury, instructions on how to decide the law based on the evidence.

In this struggle for a free and responsible press, an ombudsman is insufficient. As always, I write my opinion, since I do not possess the-objective-truth.

Today’s thought, G.E. Dean (Matthew 5:16, CJB)

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”

Dean says “Christians should be a light of goodness in a dark immoral world.”

Matthew pretends to speak for Jesus, and in Matthew 5 encourages people to anticipate reward during afterdeath for patience in life. From earlier verses, by verse 16, the crowd was to understand that their “Father in heaven” intended them to believe Jesus (John 6:38-39). There are ways to turn even the message of patience negative, for example, the theology of victimization, frequently referred to as “liberation theology.”

Dean tacitly turns the scripture into a negative message: The world is immoral so that Christianity can save it. I do not find Dean’s message to be true. I think the world is steadily march toward civic morality and the pace can be accelerated by collaboration for comprehensive safety and security --- in other words, civic justice--- so that responsible, private pursuits may flourish whether religion is involved in a person’s preferences or not.

Letters

National Arts in Education Week (McNamara) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_ff2d6e14-9400-11e7-936f-dfcca76c95b5.html)

While citations would have helped, McNamara wrote an excellent plea for help needed. A civic culture owes it to its children to educate and coach them into interest in the meaning of being a human being: What does my person responsibly prefer?

I think the human's purpose is to recognize unbounded psychological power but only one opportunity to discover his or her person’s preferences. Most people know their preference in ice cream or chocolate. However, few know they prefer Chekov or Tolstoy, Euripides or Plato, Socrates or Agathon, Faulkner or Tennessee Williams. Few can imagine Picasso influencing Rodrique. I could go on.

Worse yet, is the perception that language is not divisive. There is no perception of integrity when people use a dialect or foreign language to isolate a third party. Yet there is great joy in resolving the problem that there is no Greek word for “balance.”

Our education system needs to inform students but coach them to turn personally turn Maslow’s needs on its peak. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs. That is, during the first three decades, take personal charge of the transformation from feral infant to young adult with the comprehension, understanding, and intent to live a full life in service to humankind during the quest to responsibly discover his or her personal preferences.

Thank you, The Advocate, for publishing McNamara’s letter.

Prevention (Dupre)

(theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_38b904fe-9406-11e7-ab2c-2f8ed224c6e6.html)

I agree, regarding recovery, and am dismayed with Gov. Edwards’ turned his back toward the people who were flooded in 2016 by not being prepared when he witnessed before Congress. And now that some money is there, the people can’t reach it.

However, I am more concerned about prevention. Let’s not build and rebuild so that flooding is possible.

Collective democracy (Bowen, 9/7) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_7aacd96a-9354-11e7-ba36-4f2d2d10fa46.html)

I agree. The liberal democrats do not want the rule of law. They disrupt for what they want and they demand what they want now. It won’t work.

Liberal-mind conflict (Froma Harrop) (creators.com/read/froma-harrop/09/17/time-to-remove-trump-from-the-pilots-seat-on-trade)

From Trump accusation “kind of nuts” to “Republican Congress' failure to accomplish much of anything,” Harrop suggests better images, like “coolly renegotiate” to assert “he has no idea what he’s doing.” She wants to negotiate for everyone except the President of the USA.

Then, she claims “The U.S. Constitution places most authority over trade with Congress.” What she overlooks is that Congress ducks every responsibility they can by passing them by creating regulatory authorities.

Harrop is just another liberal democrat in conflict with her person.

Traitor (Walter Williams) creators.com/read/walter-williams/09/17/liberals-in-a-tizzy

Williams presents the case for Mitch Landrieu of the infamous statement that he does not know where the chaos he started will end not being around when it does.

Since the Church canonized a bible that condones if not promotes slavery and in the 15^th century authorized both the doctrine of discovery for God and monopolies in African slave trade to first Portugal then Spain, it would be fitting to tear down all Catholic churches and remembrances.

Of course, I don’t want that. However, I did not want Lee Circle to be trashed, either. Don’t get me wrong. I think a wise Robert E. Lee would have sold out and moved to a free state in 1856. After all, he had two major evidences: Bloody Kansas, white-on-white wars, and Frederick Douglass’s 1852 speech about every person knowing slavery is wrong for him or her. But then, people in Louisiana rebuild homes that flood without elevating them or moving (them or not). I wanted an appropriate plaque place on the Lee monument.

Journalist or liar? (Bernard Goldberg) 

townhall.com/columnists/bernardgoldberg/2017/09/05/jumping-the-shark-the-news-media-way-n2377040

Goldberg might have earned nomination as his column of the year if had not been a typical liberal --- arguing with his own person.

First Goldberg claims “Stuart Rothenberg, a veteran political journalist.” Then, it’s “Rothenberg is lying.” What’s the reality? Journalist? Or liar?

I suppose the liars created the modification “writes for a news medium” from “keeps a journal.” I think a free and responsible press keeps a journal of humankind’s ineluctable march toward civic justice, where “civic” refers to people collaborating for sincere liberty during ever decade of their lives, managing civil law so as to constrain dissidents such as lying writers for the press.

I don’t think Goldberg would agree with my view. I indulging liars was a crime, Goldberg might get forty-hours’ public service --- collecting trash for disposal or something.  

 

Baton Rouge Together in action? (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/crime_police/article_6bb7eb88-9634-11e7-9be9-5fa2817c58e1.html)

Is Together Baton Rouge responsible for The Advocate interviewing Baton Rouge’s infamous Mr. Reed regarding a rapper’s murder?

The Metro Council has had Mr. Reed escorted out of the forum many times. I commend The Advocate to refrain from giving him a voice.

Alinsky-Marxist organization (AMO) works by the officials with a cause recruiting soldiers who are willing to disrupt the civil order under freedom of speech. In the emotions and passions of crowd influence, soldiers perpetrate crimes such as disobeying police orders, public damage, bodily harm and even murder. The officials are not even at the scene, but they appear to represent the cause and the promise that civil order will be restored if the community meets their demands.

It seems to me Mr. Reed is a self-styled AMO official and our community should not respond to him. The Advocate acts egregiously against the people when they interview Mr. Reed, Together Baton Rouge, and other AMO affiliates.

 

Neighborhood Watch (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/crime_police/article_4df40a1c-967c-11e7-8606-53042103c7a9.html)

I recommend Neighborhood Watch, a 24-7 activity whereby neighbors call the police when they see trouble about to happen. It is a program that does not recommend vigilantism at all, and it works. BRPD has a department in charge of helping neighborhoods get started. We ran a successful program for a number of years until our problem was solved. The national sheriffs association created neighborhood watch, so they will also train citizen groups who want it.

The existence of the question is a travesty. It is born of doubt in the power of human psychology. Every human being may cultivate fidelity to the-objective-truth. Those who do not cultivate the intention to fidelity beg woe.

The-objective-truth is the reality to which each human strives to conform. It is not the Truth, The Truth, ultimate truth, absolute truth, God’s truth, Supreme Court opinion, settled law, your truth, my truth, the Church’s truth, reason, revelation, the Word, or any other substitute men have imagined.

Merriam-Webster online informs “gender” means a. sex and b. the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex. Using these words, a woman is treated equally if her sex, behavior, culture, and psychology is appreciated as a woman. By no means would treating her as a man be equality.

Treating a man as a man and a woman as a woman is justice and by no means is it prejudice.

The human species is psychologically powerful. He or she will not accept the statements of another person, but only accepts the-objective-truth. Thus, if a person pretends to be of the opposite sex and honestly arouses a person, discovery of the-objective-truth results in separation, perhaps worse.

There are hucksters who advertise they can medically provide gender change. However, they cannot address false perceptions. A man who erroneously perceives he is a woman will not be happy after his genitals and hormones have been replaced and the false impression disappears. It would be better to seek counseling on fidelity to the-objective-truth.

The proposition that people of differing gender should be treated the same is false. Equality comes when a person is appreciated as he or she is. This appreciation starts with the person.

For opinion on “meaning of gender equality” please see quora.com/What-can-be-done-to-overcome-prejudice-towards-gender-equality, tendered only last evening. Comment if you want to. Now, I turn to promotion of gender equality.

The question may be considered from the perspective of the ovum who is waiting --- to be fertilized into conception, to attach, to be gestated, to be delivered, to survive infancy and to transition into young adult with comprehension, understanding, and intent to live a complete human experience over some ninety years. No ovum would be forced into a life that is void of appreciation, but it happens every moment.

The authentic woman is aware that during her fertile years she may generate about 400 ova. Springing from obligations to her viable ova, her entire being has the tendency to care for others. Humankind honors her role and intends to appreciate her responsible care. This intention is equal to every woman but may be lessened by the woman who does not appreciate her gender and her responsibilities to her ova. Among her obligations is to choose association with an authentic man.

A real man has appreciative regard for his spermatozoa and the person and body that produces them. Moreover, he appreciates the unique role of the woman --- her body, her genes, her memes, her psychology --- and her obligations to her ova. He would threaten neither her well-being nor that of perhaps 400 potential persons she may generate. He would not approach her live ova without full intent to care for her and their children for life. His intention to responsibility extends to their grandchildren and beyond.

These principles speak for themselves and operate in the misery and loss some humans generate every moment. Each person may observe these principles in the faces of children who are suffering and in adult lives made miserable by their family’s past disregard for gender roles. Education systems ineffectively teach, even obfuscate, these principles. Legislatures and civil courts exacerbate the ruin by not regarding ova as potential persons and children as persons.

The human being is driven by appetites that seem overwhelmingly powerful. However, the well-coached child may emerge from adolescence with personal authenticity.

I promote gender equality according to these principles. A woman should be appreciated equally as a woman until she demonstrates privation in care for herself or her ova. A man should be treated equally as a man until he demonstrates that he does not intend authentic performance. The idea of treating a man as a woman, or vice-versa, is preposterous.
