Phil Beaver seeks to collaborate on the-objective-truth,
which can only be discovered. The comment box below invites readers to write.
"Civic"
refers to citizens who collaborate for responsible freedom 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 to us by the USA. I am willing
to collaborate with other citizens on this paraphrase, yet may settle on and
would always preserve the original text.
How
much unwarranted interest will the people of Louisiana have to pay if this
graft goes forward, and who will get that money?

So maligning people who disagree with you (me, in this case) is
an example being "civic," Mr. Beaver?
Christine Kooi How does my opinion that
you do not understand freedom-from and liberty-to malign you?
I think expressing my opinion in opposition to your opinion is a civic act. Otherwise you would not have the opportunity to collaborate with me, a fellow-citizen, for responsible freedom.
We live in the same space-time and each have the private authority to spend our separate human energies either for responsible freedom to impose a doctrine---to compete for a dominant opinion. I prefer collaboration for civic morality or mutual, comprehensive safety and security.

You do not know me, and yet somehow on the basis of a Facebook
post you conclude that I am ignorant of the concept of freedom--that is at the
very least condescending.
Nor do I "strive to impose personal opinion." I have no power of imposition; all I do in this forum is express my opinions, just as you do.
You don't engage the argument; instead you impugn the character of your interlocutor. That is not the way of civil discourse.

Christine Kooi ". . . crude, vulgar,
bigoted and entirely devoid of empathy, and that is exactly what his base loves
about him."
I voted for Trump twice and am prepared to vote for him again---perhaps I am part of "his base"---but I do not love anything about him.
Do you accept my opinion about me or does your opinion about me prevail in your mind?

Christine Kooi Good luck. The Rev. Beaver is entirely impervious
to logic or differing viewpoints of any sort. It's the civic way, naturally.
His statement about The Advocate (see above) pretty much sums things up. You, a
dissident, meaning that you don't agree with the Rev., are capable of reforming
yourself if you adopt the Beaverian catechism. If you don't, it's no doubt due
to the influence of the AMO, of which you must be a part according to Rev.
Beaver. See you at the next AMO club meeting?

You would be surprised how much we know you.Anything about Trump is bad & anything about
Obama & Edwards is good....& you know us so stop
trying to play the victim.It won't work.

To
GM King:
Meetings at
EBRP libraries and elsewhere and my comments online are intended to motivate
fellow citizens to consider and adopt the civic agreement that is stated in the
preamble to the constitution for the USA. The agreement divides fellow citizens
as either civic or dissident. People place themselves in one of the branches of
fellow-citizens on their own energy and motivations.
"We the
People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote
the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our
Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of
America."
My paraphrase
of the original is, 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 to us by the USA.
I prefer
"integrity" to "unity," among other reasons, so as to
preserve the dissident's human authority to spend his or her energy---one human
power---in opposition to the preamble's agreement. Integrity allows each person
to responsibly pursue the happiness he or she perceives rather than submit to
someone else's interpretation of the agreement, for example, mine.
Thereby, the
preamble, which literally seems totalitarian, in practice serves all
citizens---civic and dissident equally. Because they talk (notice civic citizens
never lie and correct errors when they encounter them), civic citizens
collaborate for statutory justice; that is, written laws and disclosed
law-enforcement that are improved when injustice is discovered. Dissidents who
do no overt harm enjoy the civic culture---the mutual, comprehensive safety and
security. Harmful dissidents subjugate themselves to statutory justice.
You have always
known that you have the authority regarding what you write about me. You also
were informed by me that "Rev. Beaver" misrepresents me. With the
above statements, you have the information you need to establish GM-King-integrity
in future posts about my work.
You have my
sympathy yet my hope for a possible, better future.

The wrong person for the
office
(La Gov. John Bel Edwards) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/article_3d5272b8-f7c3-11e7-9c95-0f3177f3e5bf.html)
Not one word
about the boon coming to Louisiana because of the federal corporate tax cuts!
Other states
will negotiate for corporations to pass on some of that savings to help
starving states. But not John Bel Edwards: He wants to take money from the
people of Louisiana in order to keep his inflated state government.
The Advocate
seems to be the governor's lackey regarding picking the people's pockets.
I urge the
Legislature to let Edwards' deadline come and go. Let him negotiate after the
deadline.

Never ignore personal energy—-one human power—-individual
authority.
The
individual human has the potential power, both physical and psychological, to
develop fidelity to the-objective-truth. The-objective-truth can only be
discovered—-cannot be fabricated from an assumption.
Humility
empowers development of fidelity. With fidelity, the person has authority to
behave for responsible freedom. In a culture of responsible freedom, each
person has the opportunity to responsibly pursue personal happiness rather than
the idea someone else may have for the person. Members of the culture
collaborate for mutual, comprehensive safety and security.
Dissidents
to responsible freedom may flourish as long as their behaviors do not cause
overt harm. If harmful, they risk subjugation to statutory justice. Statutory
justice is maintained at the leading edge of civic morality: Each time
injustice is discovered, collaborative individuals revise statutory justice so
as to conform to the-objective-truth.
Humility
in use of personal energy empowers the person to behave in fidelity, yet the
human person has the authority to behave in egocentricity. On his or her own
authority, he or she may choose egocentric liberty rather than responsible
freedom; infidelity rather than fidelity; woe rather than favor.
