Most citizens are taxpayers

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 want to collaborate with other citizens on this paraphrase, yet would always preserve the original, 1787, text.

A civic citizen may lead a social democrat to civic morality, but a civic culture can’t coerce a democrat to collaborate for the people: The Advocate personnel are stubbornly arrogant. Perhaps I should refer to their persons as honest politicians (integrity not required) rather than responsible journalists.

I fully appreciate this column’s presentation of the evidence that both social democrats and Christian conservatives partner with nursing home wolves to pick the pockets of Louisiana citizens. However, it is citizens who are hurt by the bleeding state budget, and therefore, the citizens rather than “taxpayers” have the opportunity to kick butt at the poles. Vote against politicians who favor nursing home wolves!

  

As usual, The Advocate personnel pit the citizens of Louisiana against “taxpayers”. Between the taxation of goods and service businesses, income tax, property tax, and sales taxes, only a negligible few citizens don’t pay any taxes.

Give me a chance to vote against The Advocate personnel, and I will do so. I want the American republic, the American dream---private liberty with civic morality, the march to statutory justice, and the preamble to the 1788 constitution for the nine-state USA to succeed.

  
To JT McQuitty:

  

The display hinted that these articles' URLs have "-11e7-" in common. I googled "The Advocate"+"-11e7-" and found articles on many topics. However, "The Advocate"+"-11e7-"+"nursing" paid off well.
  
I tried googling "The Advocate"+"-11e7-"+"gambl" and was pleased with the list of URLs.

Legislative black caucus (Jeff Sadow) (theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/jeff_sadow/article_698ddc1a-22e7-11e8-b8c9-57f6aa24c85e.html)

  

With the caption’s “democrat legislators” Sadow subjugates himself to lying by silence. That is, if The Advocate’s reporting during the special reflect the intentions of the legislative black caucus.

 

Sadow can comfort himself that the-objective-truth is difficult to discover, and therefore he is able to excuse its appeal. That is, Sadow does not think his silence is lying. However, without knowing his reasons first hand, I doubt. If he was there, he observed the concert, dissonance and all.

I voted for Trump/Pence twice but want them to end Chapter XI Machiavellianism in the USA. My third vote for them does not hinge on it, because I more certainly oppose the social democracy that would destroy the American republic if possible. So far, social democracy is declining in its European stronghold, but not fast enough.

I appreciate the information.

It seems John Bel Edwards is an AMO priest on the order of Rahm Emanuel: never miss a lawyer’s opportunity in a people’s crisis. “Edward’s bent toward litigation is the perfect strategy” against the people.

Every citizen ought to recognize that block voting is how political parties pick the people’s pockets. If you have not done the work to discern which candidate will empower your preferences for your life rather than the wishes of an activist group, a philanthropy church, specialty providers, or aliens, get to work and drive out the politicians who will repress your pursuit of the happiness you perceive.

Also, beware the buzzword “taxpayers.” Every citizen pays for the harm Louisiana is imposing on the people.

Consider the agreement that is stated in the preamble to constitution for the USA. With it, and the-objective-truth citizens may create a civic culture---one where no Church, no AMO movement, no tyrant, no corporation, no philanthropist, no alien can defeat mutual, comprehensive safety and security in Louisiana. In other words, civic morality with private liberty. In other words, human justice.

To Scuddy Leblanc: Both not telling the whole truth and being silent are acts of lying.

Already we observe Trump telling NATO countries to fork over their 2% of their GDP or face tariffs. The message is, the people of the USA no longer will foot the bill for other countries’ safety and security without resisting impositions.

We’ll see how other nations react, but they certainly will not be trying to fulfill Pal Wiseman’s un-American attitude.

If I wanted to answer your question, I’d spend over two hours watching youtube.com/watch?v=OcSBqkLDxmo in preparation. Please be patient with my view of Chomsky’s topic.

  

Paraphrasing Google, a totalitarian culture “controls science, education, art and private” morality. In the USA, freedom is limited by totalitarian propaganda: we, the people; under God; freedom of religion; founding fathers; liberty; independence; the American dream; pursuit of happiness; 1776.

  

I work to debunk the propaganda. We the People of the United States is not totalitarian, as it divides the people who agree to the civic purpose and goals from the dissidents. “Under God is a late development by the Chapter XI Machiavellian regimes that wish to suppress the preamble’s agreement. Freedom of religion would suppress each human being’s authority to manage his or her energy during his or her lifetime. Founding fathers is defined by the speaker, and may refer to various leaders at least during 1763 to 1808; I focus on words of the 39 signers of the 1787 Constitution, with tentative deference to their possible meaning to ground the pursuit of statutory justice when injustice is discovered. Liberty is naked to the American dream, which is private liberty with civic morality; that objective was discovered but not articulated by the settlers who, from 1607 through 1763 discovered freedom-from oppression and some of whom practiced the liberty-to pursue the happiness they perceived rather than the dictates of other individuals and institutions. Independence of the nation can only come when most individuals in the nation are independent. I already mentioned that the American dream is a quest that is suppressed by the people’s neglect of the agreement that is offered in the preamble to the constitution for the USA; the neglect also suppresses private pursuit of happiness. Lastly, 1776 commemorates the date the patriots, about 40% of the eastern seaboard’s free citizens, declared thirteen free and independent states’ war for independence from England. They were a confederation of states.

  

The USA was established on June 21, 1788, by the people of nine states, leaving four free and independent states with the opportunity to join the USA. The USA began operations with ten states on March 4, 1789. Obfuscation of the American dream began with the seating of the First Congress. Now, there are fifty states, each with its constitution. Because prior generations have not accomplished it, our generation has the opportunity to establish mutual, comprehensive safety and security or private liberty with civic morality or the American dream. To help promote this opportunity, we hold a public library meeting each June 21 to celebrate Personal Independence Day, which we consider more important than July 4 commemorating the declaration of war by the Confederation of States.

  

It remains to address Chomsky’s “free society.” By definition, members of a society are not free; hence our emphasis on civic collaboration. Members of a civic culture have the opportunity to collaborate for mutual, comprehensive safety and security. Once the required statutory justice is discovered, a civic people must conform to the civic culture. Thus, civic morality impacts social morality. Civic justice informs social justice. Civic mobility supersedes social mobility. Civic justice conforms to the-objective-truth, which can only be discovered. The-objective-truth does not conform to reason, civilization, socialization, coercion, or force.

My response may seem peculiar to the USA, but not by intention. I think civic morality with private liberty (and vice versa) is a universal, human quest. Without that want, there’d be no drive for justice.

  

Matthew Mehan, “Compelled Political Speech Cuts Civic Friendship “Right in Two’”, Wall Street Journal, March 10-11, 2018, page A13, wsj.com/articles/compelled-political-speech-cuts-civic-friendship-right-in-two-1520634890.

Caption: Using words and phrases without understanding “civic”.

Mehan writes about civic friendship with civil propriety rather than moral foundation in the-objective-truth. Humankind may discover but cannot construct the-objective-truth. “Civic friendship” implies individuals collaborating to reduce misery and loss rather than cooperating or subjugating.

Social, civil, or legal protection of silence when speech is demanded is an erroneous imposition. The person who understands and accepts his or her human authority to neither impose nor tolerate coercion/force, yet is silent, yields to societies, civilizations, or laws that do not conform to the-objective-truth.

Mehan quotes Creon’s submission to kingly tyranny: “If silence is not allowed, what is anyone allowed?” In a similar judicial circumstance, Socrates took the hemlock.

Mehan erroneously turns personal, human authority into mystery: “The inner sanctum of the soul, the irreducible and aboriginal seat of judgement about the objective truth of things and deeds, the freedom of conscience became even more cherished at the dawn of Christianity.” He taints his claims but invokes the caption by quoting Chaucer’s worldly critique of the English Church in a 1483 fictional contest. The contest somewhat mimic’s the venue for Plato’s “Symposium,” 385 B.C. In his exhortation against speaking, Chaucer repeated the priestly bemusement in Proverbs 18:2-4.

When people agree to collaborate for civic morality, the-objective-truth compels speech rather than silence: both parties collaborate. When most people understand this principle, there is no doubt about the nature of the lie.

Albert Einstein, in 1941, informed us that individuals who accept their personal authority to collaborate do not lie: they want to reduce misery and loss. Mehan unintentionally agrees: “[Silence] pits government and the individual against each other in a fog of fear and force.”

A better civic life is achievable with collaboration to discover the-objective-truth. An agreement is offered in the preamble to the 1788 constitution for the nine United States, now fifty.

Viewed from the-objective-truth, the Holy Bible, looms false---canonized by “people who [write] things they themselves know are not true.” Canonization errors have always been obvious, but none more important than Frederick Douglass’s assertion: “There is not a man beneath the canopy of heaven, that does not know that slavery is wrong for him.” It is unreasonable to appreciate Bible advice, without fear, when the Holy Bible is so suspect.

People who remain silent to Douglass’s claim, according to Sir Thomas More’s statement, consent. The Bible’s affirmation of the slave-master relationship is called into question, if not condemned. The Civil War’s rejection of “more erroneous religious belief,” cited in the Declaration of Secession, perhaps affirms the-objective-truth about the Bible: rules for slaves and masters is not the only falsehood.

Every individual may develop his or her human authority to judiciously spend their energy during every moment of personal life. Yielding to civil coercion by silence breaks the personal commitment to civically discover the-objective-truth. The human principle, never lie, may be developed by a civic culture, especially by its courts.

I submitted this for publication in the WSJ.

  

Peggy Noonan, “Over Trump, We’re as Divided as Ever”, Wall Street Journal, March 10-11, 2018, page A13, wsj.com/articles/the-screwball-tragedy-of-donald-trump-1520552914.

Noonan is about as far from civic morality as one can get, extolling “good for the town, state, country.” I promote people collaborating for the good of each other’s lives while they are alive; therein town, state and country serve the people.

The USA does not need a “balanced” Supreme Court. Justices may learn to develop fidelity to the-objective-truth rather than opinion. With most people collaborating to discover and use the-objective-truth, political factions as parties would disappear from the USA.

President Trump brought an unexpected skill to the presidency. His message seems to be:  Unless you come to me with no lying intentions or defenses, I will not grace you with integrity. He seems to be astute at detecting liars and trusting his authority to occasionally err.

  

Noonan discerns her approach and may reform if she perceives the need.
