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.

Recalling national and local political failures, The Advocate writes, “We hope . . . that the call of tasks not completed and obligations unmet will bring a renewed sense of mission to the people’s business.”

The Advocate could show during the Month of January that the personnel who comprise The Advocate have seen the light:  the press may be free only if responsible. And the employees individually accept personal authority to collaborate for responsible freedom in each Baton Rouge, EBR Parish, Louisiana, the USA, and the world.

In its actions for the people of Louisiana The Advocate would report the news rather than express favor for Gov. John Bel Edwards, Christianity, LSU, the Democrats, AMO collectivists such as Together Baton Rouge, other minister coalitions, the Vatican, liberal-democracy rather than American republicanism, or any other faction The Advocate (I think erroneously) deems advantageous to The Advocate’s business plan.

On the other hand, The Advocate might choose to support the American dream that is represented by the agreement that is offered in the preamble to the constitution for the USA: private liberty with civic morality. “Civic” refers to adult citizens who collaborate for mutual, comprehensive safety and security so that each individual may, during their life’s journey, responsibly develop their personal preferences, whether religion, the Vatican, Protestantism, liberation, racism, gender change, or other personal interest is involved or not.

  

Evolution informs humans that theirs is the species whose each individual has the potential physical and psychological power to accept the authority to establish responsible freedom.

  

While death is inevitable, in a civic culture, free-markets; governments to provide the country’s infrastructure and foreign relations; states to provide local infrastructure and constrain dissidents; cities to coordinate education and other public services; and responsible private-associations conform to statutory justice, which a civic people continually improves as injustice is discovered.

Of course, the above is only one citizen’s statement, developed in EBRP library meetings, about a possible, achievable, better future; it can be improved only after consideration and further collaboration.

The key is the individual’s personal authority regarding responsible freedom rather than the missions of the city, parish, state, national government or the self-vaunted press.

Productive money (Dan Fagan)

 theadvocate.com/new_orleans/opinion/dan_fagan/article_c3c61ac8-ebef-11e7-b82b-a3ecf5b18659.html

Fagan, I guess by willingness, made the case plainer than any columnist I have read. Most importantly, the $1.5 trillion perhaps erroneously predicted to come from deficits will go to the people instead of the government. However, the GOP expectation is that GDP will increase and wipe the $1.5 trillion deficit out.

  

The overall impression I get from Fagan’s essay and my work is as follows. The people are served by a free market, but the government does not trust the people so it arbitrarily interferes. Unfortunately, the people are divided: a civic people vs dissidents, and the civic people need force and coercion to either reform or constrain the dissidents. Therefore, they need government for a monopoly on force plus to serve the people in their states in defense against foreign impositions and for infrastructural needs. The government overplays the powers the people grant them when they arbitrarily interfere with the free market, for example, by redistribution.

  

Some of the dissidents do not understand that just as a person must earn their living, each individual has the authority to collaborate for responsible freedom. Either by persuasion or willfully, they dedicate their vote to someone else’s cause rather than inform themselves of the issues and vote for their personal freedom. Many people think applying to the government for all kinds of freebies is freedom, never realizing that they are subjugating themselves to the people who persuaded them to apply for the subsidy.

Democrats like Gov. John Bel Edwards profess they “do the right thing,” persuading people to sign up for food and justice, when in actuality he is robbing them of their personal authority to establish their responsible, personal freedom. Beware the people who claim they are doing the right thing for you: they are robbing you of your authority for responsible freedom.

  

Phil Beaver does not “know” the-indisputable-facts, or actual-reality. 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.
