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 individual
happiness with civic integrity more than for the city, state, nation, or
society.
Consider writing a personal
paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens mutual appreciation: For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and
paraphrase it for my interpretation of its proposal as follows We the People of the United States proffer &
practice 5 public disciplines —- integrity, justice, safety, strength, and
prosperity, “in order to” encourage & facilitate
responsible-human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity”. I want to improve my interpretation by listening to
other citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787,
text, unless it is amended by the people.
It seems the
Supreme Court occasionally refers to it, and no one has challenged whether or
not the preamble is a legal statement. The fact that it changed this
independent country from a confederation of states to a union of states
deliberately managed by disciplined fellow citizens convinces me the preamble is
legal. Equity in opportunity and outcome is shared by the people who
collaborate for human justice.
Every citizen
has equal opportunity to either trust-in and collaborate-on the goals stated in
the preamble or be dissident to the agreement. I think 2/3 of citizens try
somewhat to use the preamble but many do not articulate commitment to the
goals. However, it seems less than 2/3 understand that “posterity” implies
grandchildren. “Freedom of religion,” which fellow citizens have no means to
discipline, oppresses freedom to develop integrity.
Selected theme from this week
De-coding Anglo-American mind control
On July 4, we’ll consider the
256th anniversary of the USA’s declaration of independence from England,
initiated in 1774. In 1783 we the people of the United States won the
freedom& liberty to, in 1787, propose domestic& foreign responsibility
“to ourselves and our Posterity”.
An achievable better future is
possible when most citizens practice, facilitate, and encourage
responsible-human-independence
We appreciate our tyrants --- the
indolent, the criminal, and the corrupt --- by constraining them, in order to
preserve their opportunity to reform before their person dies.
We can& may change the title “Statue
of Liberty” to “Statue of Independence”.

Liz Chaney’s
liberal democrat attitude suffering the rule of law (theepochtimes.com/rep-liz-cheney-soliciting-votes-from-democrats_4554436.html?)
Anyone who advocates "a vote for democracy" is
unconstitutional, whether they like it or not. Article IV Section 4 reads
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a
Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion;
and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the
Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence." America is a
constitutional republic and will remain so, in order to constrain the chaos
that social-democracy, pure-democracy, or communism the rest of the world would
like to impose on the U.S. civic faction: We the People of the United States.

This is by far the most important opinion I have read in the
last 10 years. I encourage each of you to read it. Also, Bell uses a
phrase I deem competitive with "the-ineluctable-truth":
"grounded in discoverable truth". See David Bell's "False
Messaging Forever: the WHO's Plan for the Future".

Three essays illustrate my concern for at least 330 years of
European-American-scholarly bemusement of the U.S. citizen.
First, Tuomas Malinen, in “The
United States in Decline”[1],
wrote, “the United States was founded [on] freedom and personal
responsibility”. Neither “freedom” nor “personal responsibility” applies to the
U.S. citizen. Freedom is bestowed by the winner in war. We, the civic-citizens
of We the People of the United States won independence. But Congress granted
itself freedom of religion, and so far, the generations have fallen for the
ruse. The citizens of 2022 can& may reform to responsible-human-independence
(RHI), the intentions stated in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution.
We can& may revise the First Amendment’s practice clause to “or [promoting] the free exercise thereof”.
Second, Michael Rectenwald, in
“The Backstory of the Great Reset, or How to Destroy Classical Liberalism”[2],
wrote, “The elite subversion of the free-market system and republican democracy
[is not newly developed].” The U.S. is not “republican democracy”; it is a
constitutional republic that intends to develop statutory justice “to
ourselves and our Posterity”.
Third, Carl Eric Scott, in “The
Five Conceptions of American Liberty”[3],
bemuses readers with blinding scholarship to the choir. Who can assimilate the
five definitions?
1. the
protection of natural rights, or “natural-rights liberty”
2. self-governance
of a group, or “classical-communitarian liberty”
3. economic
individualism, or “economic-autonomy liberty”
4. the
social justice of the national community, “progressive liberty”, and
5. moral
individualism, or “personal-autonomy liberty.”
Scott distracts the reader to John Locke yet does not share
that Locke’s “natural rights” regards the individual Locke-God-property with no
right to diminish the person, whether by submission to arbitrary government or
by suicide: nobody dares lessen Locke-God property. What government can warrant
the-High-God its property? Communitarianism opposes RHI. Economic-autonomy is
ruinous isolationism. Progressivism is social democracy, or chaos opposing the constitutional republic.
Personal-autonomy is moral only when a person perceives self-interest in civic-integrity
(or human-necessity&
justice). I once claimed to be a classical liberal plus fiscal
conservative and now develop the civic-integrity required for RHI.
I maintain a glossary of terms
intended to relieve fellow-citizens of scholarly bemusement or take
brainwashing out of public discourse --- spoil the scholarly choir. It is
posted on my blog, at A Civic People for readers to
improve. Language that expresses the-ineluctable-truth appeals to the
experiences&
observations of civic-citizens and preserves the
tyrant’s opportunity to reform to RHI or better before their death.

Margo, this training reminds me of the strength and
resiliency of my birth family and Cynthia’s birth family. When government is
the enemy, civic-citizens can& may return to gardening& canning.
"Freedom& liberty", "common good", "Locke-God's
property" reformed to "pursuit of happiness", and other
Anglo-American propaganda cannot constrain responsible-human-independence
(RHI).
This July 4, I'll be practicing, facilitating, and encouraging RHI. Let We the
People of the United States change "Statue of Liberty" to
"Statue of Independence".

In 2 weeks, we’ll consider the 256th anniversary of the
USA’s declaration of independence from England. In 1783 we the People of the
United States won the freedom& liberty to, in 1787, propose responsibility
“to ourselves and our Posterity”. An achievable better future is possible when
most citizens practice, facilitate, and encourage RHI:
responsible-human-independence. It’s not too late to accept the freedom&
liberty to appreciate every fellow citizen.
Thank you, Shipbuilder, for expressing that point.
England would have us say "Long live the queen"; the administration
is saying "Long rule the Democrats"; Anglo-American traditionalists
neglectfully say “the Lord will provide” on earth; and coalitions are saying
"Long reign democracy".
The U.S. is a constitutional republic. Fellow citizens who hear "social
democracy" can& may adopt the self-interest to reform from an
organization's quest for power – can& may each practice responsible-human-independence.
Thank you, Starlyn for speaking.
To Cleve:
I don't think so. Everywhere I go, I enjoy order&
goodwill. I only read about tyranny: indolence, crime, and public oppression,
such as democrats' unconstitutional actions. In other words, it's hard to
imagine the USA the media promotes.
After 50 years' subscription, a few years ago, I stopped paying the Advocate,
the Baton Rouge newspaper, convinced that their business plan works to replace
this constitutional republic with a social democracy.
Likewise, when personal appreciation is not returned, I accept the other
party’s rejection. Since then, I view civic strangers, acquaintances, and old
friends as persons I appreciate.
I appreciate the miracle of your wonderful responsibilities and family of four.
At age 79, I feel like a newborn, because I appreciate each person, as they
are, where they are. For fellow citizens who live tyranny --- indolents,
criminals, and corrupt politicians, I pay the taxes to constrain them and to
develop statutory justice when unjust enforcement is discovered. Without
constraint, fellow-citizens who are tyrants have no opportunity to reform to
responsible-human-independence.
For example, last week, I listened and talked with an itinerate preacher. I
suggested he accept the mysteries, "God" and "Holy Spirit",
so as to share the practical Jesus without bemusing the listener. When he added
"Satan" to the conversation, I thanked him for reminding me of a
fourth mystery. He counted and asked what the fourth was. I answered, "the
peace Jesus offered”: I don't know what peace is, because safety& security
is a full-time task. The preacher told me I'm going to Hell. I said, 'Ah hah: A
fifth mystery. Thank you." I'm praying for that preacher as I write.
The notion that safety& security is human-being duty is not original by me.
I think it comes from Sumer -- the inventors of the wheel, writing, and law
codes -- expressed by Hebrew scholars in Genesis 1:28. Perhaps humankind, in
2022, is coming to grips with Genesis-1’s responsible-human-independence.
