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.
The Advocate
freely takes no responsibility when it mimics Gov. Edwards' lame excuse for leadership:
"Stabilize state finances, improve elementary and secondary education,
invest in colleges and universities, spend money on roads and
infrastructure."
Only
individuals have the authority to control their private energy; to develop
behavior for their personal benefit during every decade of one life. A free and
responsible press, a master of information and research, may give readers ideas
for how to accomplish what seems impossible. For example, for each infant, in
the first two decades, develop the skills that empower understanding and intent
to live a full, human life. Think I'm wrong? Write a better idea, The Advocate
or readers.
I encourage
people who work for The Advocate to promote collaboration to discover
the-objective-truth rather than conflict for dominant opinion. Also, stop wasting
energy on promoting conflicts, such as church, skin-color, or trying to impose
social democracy (chaos) in public meetings like EBRP Metro-Council meetings
(civic collaboration under civil order).
We commend the
Louisiana congressional delegation, the Louisiana legislature, the
administration, the judiciary, and all public authorities in Louisiana to
consider the language of a civic people: It is being generated in EBRP library
meetings and in other discussions. But that does not diminish its quality for
individual living. Personal living accumulates as public life.
The goal is private liberty with civic morality, in other words,
human justice.
To JT McQuitty: As a learning exercise, I like to
paraphrase for 2018 the message I am reading. My take on Keynes’ 1928 four
things for achieving economic bliss: balance population for widespread
prosperity, don’t waste energy on conflict, collaborate to discover
the-objective-truth, observe that accumulation=production-consumption.
I will be using
this in my future and appreciate learning from you, as always. In addition,
"panarchy" and synonyms give me a heads up on a theory of a civic
people. There will always be dissidents, but political bliss is possible with a
civic culture. That is, a culture wherein most citizens are collaborating for
mutual, comprehensive safety and security.
Two other
points about the Keynes essay. He is obviously a Christian, yet religion does
not enter his four requirements for bliss unless civic imposition of your
religion is causing conflict. Second, while I work constantly to preserve and
increase my wealth, small as it is: I am not willing to work, be an entrepreneur
or otherwise compromise reading, writing, and considering responses. But the
best 3 hours/day in my life is the time I spend with MWW, daughters, family,
friends, and strangers.
Today’s thought, G.E. Dean (Psalms 37:8-9
CJB)
“Stop
being angry, put aside rage, and don't be upset - it leads to evil. For
evildoers will be cut off, but those hoping in ADONAI will inherit the land.”
Dean says, “Where do you stand?”
I have not inherited the land.

Press leaks (Bourgoyne) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_cfa6d4a2-01fe-11e8-bc7f-abfc16e537c1.html)
The press created my impression of the FBI. The FBI has been severely wounded by Barack Obama’s AMO direction and the presence of nanny-state adult-adolescents, perhaps like James Comey, who seemingly never beheld integrity.
The press was wounded when the First Amendment was not ratified “free and responsible press” rather than "freedom of the press." Only a civic people can save the press, by so amending the First Amendment or better.
There are few columnists I do not read. I even read Eugene-Washington-and-Michael-Barone-hallucinations in today’s paper. I usually read Stephie’s caption and may scan the column. However, I do not read the Robert’s caption. I’d rather count the petals on a rose bloom. (MWW’s varieties range from 10 to 50.)

Writer on the run (Froma Harrop) (spokesman.com/stories/2018/jan/27/froma-harrop-a-shutdown-not-to-remember/)
Harrop is such a fervent resister
it is not surprising she wants to forget a social-democracy drubbing.
Yet I hope she is observing a
trend: no more Democrats and no more
Republicans, only Americans collaborating to discover and benefit from
the-objective-truth. (I realize she could not write that.)
President Trump: a servant of
the people (Eugene Washington) (timesunion.com/opinion/article/Eugene-Robinson-Trump-has-no-idea-he-s-being-used-12523530.php)
In his
inaugural address President Trump convinced me he wants to give the power back
to the people. In his first year, he showed me he is an administrator first and
leader second. He submits to the constitution for the USA and asks for help
from like-minded people. More importantly, the first sentence, the preamble, is
a civic contract, and unlike some presidents, President Trump did not set his
personal sovereignty aside under the pretext of “serving the presidency.”

the people (Michael Barone) creators.com/read/michael-barone/01/18/tough-road-ahead-for-trump-in-year-2
Barone had best write to his Democrat legislators and
officials urging them to jump ship before it sinks.

Donald Trump Survey due tonight. (ID 17346073) Failed as blocked,
but the message below went through separately.
From evolution humankind learned a first principle: Among
all the species, only the human individual has the authority to establish
responsible freedom.
The individual may hope for salvation by his or her God and
expect a people (nation) to collaborate for mutual, comprehensive safety and
security. However, in daily conversation, transactions, and civic influence,
only the individual may judge his or her actions so as to collaborate for human
justice. In other words, neither God nor government can usurp your opportunity
to behave for mutual justice.
The widespread education and commitment to these principles
is our hope for the USA in 2018.
A good starting point is the preamble: read, comprehend,
paraphrase, restate for personal lifestyle, then decide: Do I commit to this
agreement or not?
I, President Donald R. Trump, accept the human authority and
judgement to behave in my connections with fellow citizens so as to establish
human justice. As follow citizen, I ask you to consider a similar mutual trust
and commitment for 2018 and beyond.
libertylawsite.org/2018/01/26/originalism-needs-an-adult-education-program
In my early (and continuing) efforts to
introduce this forum to the idea of public use of the agreement that is offered
in the preamble in order to establish civic morality based on the-objective-truth,
I stated that law professors may ask themselves, “Does my work collaborate with
civic citizens?” If “No,” then the professor might want to make changes so as
to collaborate with fellow citizens. I suggest engaging the public: They include
adults, some of whom are in charge of the American republic.
I see no evidence that the public wants
originalism. In fact, I think the public is too psychologically powerful to
submit to controversies from the past and the massive volumes of commentary
from 230 years of competitive scholarship.
In the competition between Manafort, whose
family and home was invaded (it seems, unconstitutionally) by order of Mueller’s
heavy-handed zeal, I think the public will side with Manafort. The public
thinks a man and family and home are innocent until proven guilty; its seems
Mueller abused the Manafort family.
Law professors, lawyers, Senators, and scholars
are first citizens, who, on reading the agreement that is offered in the
preamble may make a choice: either to trust and commit to the civic agreement
or to be a dissident to the preamble’s offer. Abraham Lincoln said that justice
comes from a civic people.
Likewise, a person has the authority to spend
his or her personal energy to behave for responsible freedom or not. If so, he
or she may develop the judgment on which to behave with integrity. Tragically, many
people who witness before Congress honestly express never having encountered
integrity. Perhaps James Comey is another tragic example.
When a civic citizen is collaborating to
discover and benefit from the-objective-truth, he or she may discover injustice
in the law and collaborate for justice. If so, originalism has little value beyond
the text to be amended. To put it another way, the-objective-truth does not
respond to originalism. Rather originalism gets corrected by
the-objective-truth.
The-objective-truth about slavery existed long
before slavery was first practiced. Was any originalism ever pertinent to
slavery? It seems not.
Phil Beaver does not “know” the
actual-reality. He
trusts and is committed to the-objective-truth which can only be discovered.

non-profit corporation. See online at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com.
