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 (Nov 24)

I’m concerned about Gov. Edwards renewing Medicaid contracts as an administrative state and The Advocate laments an 1858 London raw sewage problem. 

There ought to be a law that requires a responsible press in order to qualify as a free press. Let's so amend the First Amendment.

Our Views, Nov 23 (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/our_views/article_f5ae0ffc-caeb-11e7-ab5c-4b4a9ac0e7e3.html)

To JT McQuitty: The state looks at it as human resource: For every $1 the people lose, the state collects $0.22 less bureaucracy and enforcement of laws that gamers break.

 

The Advocate recently compared the gaming $.9 billion revenue with mineral revenue of nearly $0.5 billion. Human misery and pain is counted as a natural resource in these parts.

 

It's difficult to fathom let alone understand thankfulness for such problems.

  

Today’s thought, G.E. Dean (Matthew 19:26-28 CJB)

“Yeshua looked at them and said, “Humanly, this is impossible; but with God everything is possible.” Kefa replied, “Look, we have left everything and followed you. So what will we have?” Yeshua said to them, “Yes. I tell you that in the regenerated world, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Isra’el.”

Dean says “God can do great things because He is the great God of the universe.”

Matthew talked about 12 tribes of Israel. Dean debates the great God, suggesting there are others. Who can abide such lies? Public justice may come from a civic people.

Education for parents (McConduit) (Nov 17)

It is unfathamable to read "as president of . . ." non-profit. Such blatant egocentricity in a state with public education ranked perhaps 1150th in the world---46th in the USA, which is 25th in the world.

 

It occurred to me that part of the problem is a significant portion of the people lobby for African-American history, which in world competition for economic viability is of no interest! None!

 

Let's put aside social morality so as to focus on civic morality---collaboration for civic justice and civic peace. Let’s teach our children that they are persons---each one.

Illinois: still realing from Al Capone (George Will) 

(effinghamdailynews.com/opinion/columns/george-f-will-opinion-column-in-illinois-a-looming-battle/article_0fce52a2-d852-5db1-b1d2-0bdf1c1b3a9a.html)

I appreciate Will’s reform from Trump bashing, even if it is temporary.

As a strong-arm for “government worker’s unions Madigan supports” the Democrat. “Madigan enlisted Barack Obama to campaign against the [lone Democrat who supported the Republican], [the loner] was purged.”

Obama seems linked to Al Capone through Chicago’s Saul Alinsky, at least his son: see newenglishreview.org/DL_Adams/Saul_Alinsky_and_the_Rise_of_Amorality_in_American_Politics/ .

Together Baton Rouge also seems an Alinsky-Marxist organization (AMO): “part of the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF)”; see togetherbr.org/about. 

I recall an old saw:  Hoodlums of a feather flock together.

Professor McGinnis and gabe, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

I like trust and think humility is the best protection from personal gullibility.

But I work to deliver fidelity, first for its own sake, and so as to warrant appreciation among fellow citizens for my civic morality. I don't always succeed, but am getting better, because of the very idea that fidelity is what I want to employ to guide my connections.

The intention to fidelity came to me by decades of contemplation of thinkers like George Washington, James Madison,  Abraham Lincoln, Ralph  Waldo Emerson, and Albert Einstein, to cite a few, as well as conversing with contemporaries here and abroad. I have not stopped reading and listening to the people.

There is a hierarchy of fidelity: to the-objective-truth, to self, to immediate family, to extended family and friends, to the people (the nation), to the world, and to the universe, both respectively and collectively.

There may be better times ahead.

  

Phil Beaver does not “know” the-indisputable-facts. He trusts and is committed to the-objective-truth of which most is undiscovered and some is understood. He is agent for A Civic People of the United States, a Louisiana, education non-profit corporation. See online at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com.
