December 20, 2017

Phil Beaver seeks to collaborate on the-objective-truth, which can only be discovered. 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.
 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 June 21, 1788 preamble:  We the civic citizens 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. Composing their own paraphrase, citizens may consider the actual preamble and perceive whether they are willing or dissident toward its principles.   

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

I nominate The Advocate as advocating the perverse statement of the past five decades: "When you give away other people's money, you get really good at it."
  
It’s a case of liberal democrats bragging about their skills and calling attention to their methods: Alinsky-Marxist organizing (AMO), or convincing people they are victims and recruiting them for action without the facts. The consequence is chaos rather than order.
  
Analyzing Industrial Tax Exemptions from the view of the preamble to the constitution for the USA, the people in their states, in order to achieve stated goals, limited and authorized a federal government to serve the people in their states. An industry that wants to locate in the USA must satisfy both federal and state laws. The federal permit opens the door to up to fifty additional permits. Unless, that is, the necessary location is in one state.
  
Industries locate in the USA because they perceive they can supply goods or services and make a profit. In some cases, location is chosen because of unique, worldwide advantage, such as proximity to the Mississippi River. According to property, the mouth and first 300 of 2350 miles of river are in Louisiana. But Louisiana has 64 parishes, not all on the Mississippi.
  
Thanks to liberal democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards, industries that want to locate in Louisiana may now add a third level of permitting with up to sixty-four possibilities. Instead, of creating AMO-chaos the state should rein in its generosity and distribute state-attracted tax revenues on a state per capita basis.
    
Once again, John Bel Edwards is not a good servant either for or to the people of Louisiana. Maybe The Advocate is trying to blame someone else for Edwards’ folly.
  
Deeming the claim to Marxist redistribution a profound idea is beyond strange; it seems we can expect it from The Advocate.
   
Today’s thought, G.E. Dean (Matthew 24:7 CJB)
“For when the Son of Man does come, it will be like lightning that flashes out of the east and fills the sky to the western horizon.”

Dean says, “The time to get right with God is now. Tomorrow may be too late.”

Does Matthew write about “the Son of Man” or about God? Is this Dean’s promise to stop risky Bible interpretation?
    
Letters

Licensing review (Flaherty) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_b927a878-db84-11e7-8266-877d6f821b6d.html)
A great way to increase state economics is to allow more people to work. Thanks to The Advocate for publishing this Virginia based attention to Louisiana tyranny.

The Advocate published Adam Crepelle’s guest column about the eyebrow threading travesty in August: theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/article_46e02ba4-5fee-11e6-9b9d-e754e5adc4b6.html.

Licensing reform seems like low-hanging fruit for improving the Louisiana economy. Write to your state representatives, as I did.

To Wayne Varnado: I want the responsible freedom to decide whether to hire a willing worker or a licensed and bonded arborist.


Let me put it this way: I can fell a tree within 30 degrees of where I want it to fall. It matters not that my house is located 180 degrees from my target for impact.


Moreover, I do not want other people's fears to dictate my decisions. I want responsibility for just freedom.


Gratitude (Shelton) (Dec 20)
I also am grateful for any help that is delivered to the 2016 flood victims.

Writer’s vanity (Lanny Keller) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/lanny_keller/article_16a22432-e446-11e7-a480-a75ca1050313.html)

Mr. K expressed fascination with “mammoth.” Cute cute cute cute cute boredom for readers.
  
GOP? (Michael Gerson) washingtonpost.com/opinions/to-save-the-gop-republicans-have-to-lose/2017/12/14/e1002048-e10e-11e7-89e8-edec16379010_story.html?utm_term=.5814c1dcba6f

Gerson just does not realize he is a liberal and therefore cannot decide which of his opinions to uphold. He is not alone.

I voted for Donald Trump twice but do not consider myself a Trump admirer. I voted in order to have hope that the Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders intentions to undo the American republic by promoting AMO collective democracy. The GOP could never have gotten the job done, but there was hope Trump could. After one year, my hopes are increased.

My hope has the historical example of Abraham Lincoln, who took three years to understand he was in an ideological war that required merciless military action to resolve. I wrote that it would take Donald Trump, if elected three years to understand what mess he may solve. Nevertheless, I do not admire Abraham Lincoln and do not require myself to admire President Trump. I want the American republic restored to its former path toward statutory justice. That could mean terminal defeat of the democrats, eternal dissidents, and dissolution of the GOP. Perhaps there’d be a new party called the “Statutory Justice Party.”

Gerson employs some interesting terms I may try to address in a less family-important time. There’s aggressive ignorance, durable social division, line of decency and ethics, a pro-life conservative opposed to the conservative media, blind ideologues who gave them an impossible choice, and sleazy derelict funhouse unsafe for non-males and minorities.

Gerson seems so gullible to his personal wisdom!
  
Values (Dan Fagan) theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/article_3ea43e60-e4dd-11e7-b555-3f518c248c8f.html

Fagan’s column would be enhanced with names of the responsible parties beyond the department head and the governor.

However, I examine the thought: “Most of us reflect and live out the values of our inner circle.”

Early in my eighth decade, I consider circles my person fits in: the personhood of humankind, citizens of the USA, civic citizens or those who collaborate using the goals stated in the preamble to the constitution for the USA, civic citizens who trust and commit to the-objective-truth or actual-reality and finally civic citizens who do not object to another civic citizen’s religious beliefs or none.
After reading Rose Wilder Lane’s “The Discovery of Freedom,” 1943, the objective value inner-circle may be expressed as those people who, as individuals, claim the authority to exercise their energy, their physical and psychological powers, to discover responsibility for and exercise fidelity to freedom. 

I am still trying to find precise words to connect human fidelity to responsibility for freedom with authority; any help would be appreciated. Months ago, I wrote that the consequence is private liberty with civic morality, and I think that still holds. (“Civic” refers to persons collaborating for statutory justice.)
  
Imperial presidency a thing of the past (George Will) washingtonpost.com/opinions/whirlpool-has-washington-in-a-spin-cycle/2017/12/15/b6861598-e0fa-11e7-bbd0-9dfb2e37492a_story.html?utm_term=.d0934fa68833 

Did George Will ever have integrity? 

The past year has shown that the GOP dominated Congress will not let President Trump have his way, and Congress is in control. The Democrats, observing that the American republic survived their five decades of dominance, have bowed out of collaboration for civic morality.

An idea of imperial presidency is evidenced by czars, with Rooselvelt, Bush II and Obama in the double digits. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._executive_branch_czars. I can’t discover if President Trump will have many czars. See businessinsider.com/trump-white-house-cabinet-senior-leadership-positions-bios-2016-11/#secretary-of-state-rex-tillerson-confirmed-1 and nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-pick-u-s-drug-czar-troubling-pharmaceutical-ties-article-1.3564794.

Gambling: mining the people (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/politics/legislature/article_47f59bc0-e4e8-11e7-a514-6b1db86fc27f.html)

The Advocate owes readers more explanation.

Ballard quotes Casino executive Wade Duty, “The state in 2016 collected $906 million from gambling compared to the $581 million from energy-related extraction.”

I think the state gets 22 cents of every dollar the people lose. Thus, $906 million dollars to the state equates to $4,420 million mined from the people by casinos. Duty compares that with $581 million to the state from resource mining.

I guess to the state and The Advocate, mining people is on par with mining the land and ought to be in line for financial incentives granted industries. As though casinos are producers rather than takers.

Come on, The Advocate, write for the people: add responsibility to freedom of the press.

Shame on the state and shame on The Advocate.
