Our Views (Gov. Edwards no villain in opposing John White). Every time I expend energy trying to find actual data regarding John White’s performance for children, I encounter the same kind of brick walls I find respecting the state budget, DOTD budget, and other vital evidence.

My general impression is that White scores well among a class of educators who consider their agenda too vulnerable to disclose. I suspect they're in it for the money. If I had to say, my impression would be similar to Milkovich’s: The agenda does not have the interest of children at heart. But then Gov. Edwards favors unions and retirement funds---adult satisfactions at the expense of children.

It is not surprising that Milkovich’s bill would be rejected on blunt talk. People take candid talk not as personal integrity by the speaker but as offense against the listener. For example, I write and speak all the time that what we need is voluntary public integrity.

Talk about a conversation stopper! It seems people know what’s coming next from this preacher: A proposal for morality from comprehensive fidelity. We cannot collaborate for fidelity if we lie to each other by stonewalling.

  

Today’s thought (Psalms 126:3). Perhaps David was musing about satisfaction of his appetites: We don’t know.

However, contrary to the notion that God provided for me to be born in sin but elected to believe in my salvation, I think, based on the evidence, that I was conceived by two people dedicated to each other for life and intending to share their monogamy with a family---their children, grandchildren and beyond. I am not an error destined for correction.

Since I am human, my contributions were not required for my conception and nothing from me will affect my afterdeath. However, my accomplishments in life will live on, and that is what I work on.

Letters.

Bad news (Jones). Candidate Trump said you can’t get the news by reading the media that were working so hard to get Hillary Clinton elected. People like Jones and Clinton scoffed at Trump. Such people might enjoy a humble speech by Trump: youtube.com/watch?v=b9n7g8rTiaY .

Trump’s humility constantly attracts media hubris. The media don’t seem to appreciate an old saw: The truth will out, not from constructs, but from the facts.

Before November 8, 2016, I wrote that it would take three years for my two votes for President Trump to prove themselves. It seems on the way the nanny-state mentality of the media will unhide many victims, the second of whom may be James Comey, the FBI director who seems honest enough to claim that he needed someone else to take responsibility for his integrity during the Obama administration and beyond.

What’s your story, Mr. Jones? Are you a nanny-state victim?

Veterans (Prager). I appreciate your service without considering it much less evaluating it.

However, I appreciate my preferences about how to spend my time more than your opinion about my options.

I have no intentions to travel to New Orleans for any purpose but will do what I want to do when the opportunity is presented. I had not realized in the past that people there really looked at me as an old, white, man, and I accept their wishes for their home town.

The window of opportunity for me to go there is closing.

Press: give yourself a chance (Guillot). If Trump is guilty, I want him out of office, even though I voted for him twice.

However, I think the press is entrapping itself in its own construct and will never be the same. Hopefully there will be a nadir then ascent.

   

Columns.

No gas tax until DOTD integrity (Sadow, June 11). To GM King: That's your opinion.

In my opinion, a civic people live their private lives and keep track of justice. When they discover injustice, they express it and depend on other civic people to conduct themselves accordingly.

  

In this case, I spent a lot of time trying to learn about how much of DOTD's budget goes into projects. I could not find the data. Lots of writers, like Tom Robinson, I recall, were reporting that only 9% of the budget goes for projects. The rest into secrecy.

Because of my concern for the working people suffering time loss, I (now think erroneously) supported the tax, unable to confirm Robinson's claim.

Sadow's figure of $85 million is, at 14%, close to Robinson's 9%. Since I can trust neither DOTD nor the administration, I go with my two neighbors and now oppose the tax. (Obviously I comprehensively do not trust your opinions, Mr. King.)

I admit ignorance: I do not know how much of $600 million of DOTD funding goes and think that is what DOTD and the administration want---secrecy. I cannot be concerned about your motives.

I hope you will give some consideration to my approach at civic morality: Do all you can to be informed about injustices you perceive and speak out. Adopt the-objective-truth when it is discovered. Otherwise, pursue your private dreams in private and expect other civic people to pursue theirs, knowing there will always be dissidents who seek to impose their opinion unto dominance.

Perhaps we saw dissidence to public-integrity in James Comey. Perhaps he honestly thinks its OK for the administration that hired him to circumvent the law; he has no need to make a back record of subsequent objections. But when a new administration inspires him to write notes of conversations and they discover Comey-honesty, he whines to the public that no one was overseeing Comey’s integrity! Such a public claim is incredulous if true! I don’t know anything, but think we are witnessing the unbelievable amorality of the nanny-state.

Were you born in Comey’s decade? Are you perhaps a product of the nanny state? For example, do you think the USA should have stayed in the Paris Accord on global warming?
 

Regardless of your opinion, I do not have time to respond to you. I am sprigging a portion of my yard that is washing with all these rains we're having. (Shows me what 35 years of ignorance about yard maintenance did for me.)

Trump doomed (Froma Harrop). Don’t forget, according to polls, Hillary Clinton is President of the USA. Perhaps it is time for liberal democrats and other aliens to wake up.

  

Ready for self-government (Anders column, Page 1B). Dear Smiley, an old idea emerged from EBRP library meetings with input from perhaps 50 people over the past three years: A super majority adopts the preamble for personal use.

Adopt the preamble to the constitution for the USA as the focus for individual collaboration for civic justice within our existing state and federal constitutions, but with intent to amend the constitution when civic injustice is discovered. “Civic” refers to citizens who collaborate for living more than compete for dominant opinion.

Most people want what the preamble offers: comprehensive public safety and security for selves, children, grandchildren and beyond (posterity), which requires voluntary public integrity. However, political regimes influence the people to compete for advantage under dominant opinion. Perhaps the people are divided 1/3 civic, 1/3 passive, and 1/3 dissident to public integrity.

With 2/3 of the people collaborating for the opportunity to live according to personal hopes and dreams in comprehensive safety and security, elected officials would have no choice but to join the civic people vs the dissidents. When citizens exercise integrity---do not lie to each other, lying elected officials are easily discovered.

Let’s use the preamble at last.

Our Views (The common good). To Percy Barleau: I challenge The Advocate to 1) express their view of “the common good,” 2) compare it to the traditional American definition and 3) address why comprehensive safety and security is not the common good civic citizens intuitively collaborate for. Thereby, they distinguish themselves from the dissidents to civic morality.

“Civic refers to citizens who collaborate for morality in connections by the people more than for the city, state, nation, and world.

 Under traditional “common good” it seems evident that elected representatives egocentrically conflict for dominant opinion, thereby alienating the civic people. The worst alienator in Louisiana is Gov. John Bel Edwards, who promised the people would be No. 1.

  

Columns.

Mitch Landrieu dedicates New Orleans to global warming, too (Jeff Sadow). What? Only $85 million of DTOD’s $700 million goes to transportation? I take back past support for the gas tax and join a civic people who demand reform.

And Mitch flexing his intellectual adolescence again? At least I do not have to visit New Orleans any more.

  

President Trump was correct to withdraw from the Paris accord (Charles Krauthammer). Dr. K, you would have done well to stop at that.

Instead, your id got the best of you. Maybe you will reform before it’s too late, but I doubt it. You are writer and therefore cannot be a thinker.

  

Advocate support for AMO (Page 1A). Readers may wonder: With BRPD Chief Carl Dabadie serving the people so well why would The Advocate run this advertisement for AMO?

AMO’s purpose is conflict for chaos. Read AMO’s interesting players from Al Capone to Barack Obama at newenglishreview.org/DL_Adams/Saul_Alinsky_and_the_Rise_of_Amorality_in_American_Politics/ . You will recognize validity as you read.

My question is this: In light of the purpose of Civil Service---to protect the people from tyranny enacted by a “popular” politician or other malevolent actors, why does The Advocate interview AMO agents and publish their opinions? Does The Advocate regard them elected by disruption that could lead to violence? There is no place for vigilantism in Baton Rouge, especially The Advocate’s vigilantism.

“. . . said Mike McClanahan, president of the Baton Rouge chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.” “Gary Chambers, a black activist and vocal critic of the BRPD, said . . .” "Rep. Ted James . . . legislation never made it out of committee."

 

Ending the Congressional Black Congress (Page 14A). I do not know anything about the details of Polygraph Testing Waivers. The idea that illegal immigrants should be favored over border-patrol officers is alien.

Regardless, I appreciate Rep. Cedric Richmond for his thoughtful vote.

Our Views (Show Gov. Edwards to a La-Z-Boy). Pascanal Petreoff · 

It all Starts at the Top The Governors office................

I agree, Mr. Civic Citizen (those who collaborate for the people's lives more than for the city, state, or nation).

To Petreoff: I appreciate The Advocate’s continuing work on prison-management-reform.

However, this editorial did not make it clear that Edwards should retire from government. The Advocate seems to leave justice to the people. Hmmmm.

Today’s thought (Hosea 8:7). “Sin” is a religiously correct word for infidelity. For successful living, a person may choose to be aware of mirages and mysteries but maintain fidelity to the-objective-truth of which most is undiscovered but some is understood.

For example, you don’t throw sand into the wind. By always exercising fidelity and never repeating errors, perhaps each member of the human species has the oppurtunity acquire the psychological power to perfect his or her unique person.

Letters.

Transportation maintenance (Creel). I’m retired.

I plan most trips to stay out of the way. However, I would like to make life better for the working people, as well as me when I must travel during a time I cannot choose. I do not feel that I can afford not to support increasing the gasoline tax and using the revenues for comprehensively safe and secure transportation.

I am not a communitarian. However, I support George Washington’s fourth essential for individual-independence: “The prevalence of that pacific and friendly Disposition, among the People of the United States, which will induce them to forget their local prejudices and policies, to make those mutual concessions which are requisite to the general prosperity, and in some instances, to sacrifice their individual advantages to the interest of the Community.”

  

Appreciating the National Anthem (Heinrich). I agree

  

We, the people (Stagnoli). It’s not “we, the people.” It’s “We the People of the United States.”

That's the subject of the preamble to the constitution for the USA, and it is typical for citizens to neglect the civic agreement stated therein. There've been twelve generations during the 228 years since the first Congress was seated.

By neglecting the voluntary public-integrity the preamble offers, the people enslave themselves to alien influences such as bad politics, lobbyists, philanthropists, and Alinsky-Marxist organizers (AMO), who disrupt, expecting violence to emerge from passion.

Good grief! James Comey seems to think it is ordinary to take arbitrary, emotional action when he feels he is a victim of the Obama-Lynch system and then change tactics when his feeling change with a new regime. Worse, the media-writers are also nanny-state products.

Only We the People of the United States can provide civic justice, where “civic” indicates collaboration for fidelity in living more than competition for city, state, or national dominance.

  

Columns.

Recognizing hate (Cal Thomas). The people are divided into two camps: Those who collaborate for comprehensive safety and security so that each person may pursue the happiness they want rather than someone’s ideology and the camp of dissidents.

This way of living has been suggested in the USA for 230 years. It is stated in the preamble to the constitution for the USA as a civic agreement, where “civic” refers to citizens for the people more than for the city, state, nation, or world.

You, Mr. Thomas, by insisting on Christian morality or civil morality rather than civic morality are part of the problem. It is not too late for reform.

Nanny-state touch (Dana Milbank). Watching James Comey live, seeing his expectation that everyone will understand his role as the victim of Ms. Lynch’s instruction to not call the investigation of the US Secretary of State an investigation; hearing him say that he did not make notes about what he was told by the nanny-state regime; then hearing Comey-confusion between fear of President Trump yet allowing direct conversation rather than referring Trump to the Attorney General; noting that he was born in 1960 and was thus an adolescent when the Alinsky-Marxist organized (AMO) amoralization of American politics began, I realized Comey seems a product of the nanny-state.

With that curiosity, I looked up Milbank’s age. Perhaps I am onto something: These people expect someone else to give them integrity.

Opinion (Robertses). This couple seem to equate their opinion with knowledge and thereby claim President Trump is ignorant.

If their quote of Gorshuch is accurate, “judges can safely decide the law according to their conscience without fear of reprisal,” my opinion is that Gorsuch is ignorant: Judges may have their conscience corrected by the-objective-truth. I counted 123 “decision” overrules at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_overruled_United_States_Supreme_Court_decisions . So called “decisions” are merely majority opinion in a nine-vote democracy. Mob rule often prevails.

 

So many times everyone avoids what everyone knows: Islam seems a political regime wrapped in a religious revelation. Like typical left-liberals, the Roberts pair cannot think about the-objective-truth.

Perhaps the Supreme Court can, but it would be reform from recent performances.

My minority is the neglected majority (Calogero, R., June 9). It’s almost surreal these five decades after the Civil Rights Act against racial discrimination to read support for black favor among all the different races in this country.

More unjust is the American civilization that favors Judeo-Christianity, a group that is so fractionated that the largest factional group represents 20.8% of the population, whereas my group, non-theists, which accounts for 22.8% and is the largest majority ever discriminated against in this country. See pewforum.org/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/ .

“Civic” refers to citizens who collaborate for the people more than for the city, state, country, or world. A civic people may amend the First Amendment so as to protect thought, a human duty, rather than religion, an institutional imposition. Also, collapse freedom of speech and of the press into freedom of expression with consequences if harm results according to the-objective-truth.

Congressional Black Caucus should end (Page 3A). I write elsewhere that my group, non-theists at 22.8% compared to 20.8% the largest Judeo-Christian faction in the USA (pewforum.org/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/), is the neglected majority in the USA.

We non-theists carry an undue share of the expense of the black v white divide. We see everywhere evidence that a growing black sentiment is pity for whites because whites do not admit to privilege. See youtube.com/watch?v=i4VL2rVs2Q0 for example. Whites who fall prey don’t understand freedom-from oppression and opportunity-to acquire the liberty-to pursue personal dreams.

Also, there’s evidence that God is black, Jesus is brown, and the Bible accurately condones slavery, but slaves have non-black skin. Rep. Horton’s statement about the person's apology, “I know [forgive] is what God would want me to do,” needs awareness that perhaps according to the Natives of this country God is red-skinned (see the book God is Red, 30^th anniv ed, 2003).

Actually, since God is a private construct with intentions for personal benefits whether spiritual or political, there is no place for God in the state capital. I understand that is not a traditional message, but Judeo-Christian tradition is ruining this country, and I do not want it finally ruined.

It seems most people---civic citizens who collaborate for living more than cooperate with municipalities---want comprehensive safety and security, but elected leaders are focused on dominance: black vs white; white church vs black church; vigilantism vs the police; liberal-democrat vs fiscal conservative; nanny-state vs fidelity to the-objective-truth; lawyers vs the law; rich vs poor; the government vs the people.

It seems the people are divided: a civic people who want comprehensive safety and security vs dissidents. Perhaps we are now divided 1/3 civic, 1/3 passive, and 1/3 dissidents. With a shift toward 2/3 civic, there may be progress toward voluntary public-integrity.

By all means, “f--- you” is not a civic statement, and regret is not a consideration. It’s simply a dissident remark.

Our Views (Stop paying the legislature). I agree with The Advocate's tacit claim that Louisiana lawmakers are adolescent. I add that the administration seems adolescent and should gut their salaries.

But only a civic people can reform lawmakers and administrators. “Civic” refers to citizens who collaborate for living more than cooperate with the city, state, and nation.

In 1790, 99% of the people were factional Protestants and 5% of free citizens could vote. Today, only 14% practice the Protestant traditions but 100% may vote. The majority of the population does not claim a religion.

With religious commonality gone, the people may voluntarily turn to comprehensive safety & security for public-integrity. For example, since every child is potentially an elite citizen, every child should have the opportunity to acquire an elite education. Louisiana GDP would move to unheard of high levels. Dissidents would still face statutory law but with increasing civic justice.

 

Today’s thought (Hosea 6:6). Justice comes from a civic people---those who collaborate for comprehensive safety and security so that each individual may pursue their person’s fidelity.

New York Times mendacity (Cal Thomas). I agree. Global warming is a hoax.

President Trump is human and that is why I voted for him twice: once against the GOP and second against the DNC; both times against the media and for a civic people---citizens who collaborate for the people more than for the city, state, or nation.

What we saw in the Comey June 8, 2017 public statements is the consequence of the nanny state and moreover, the amorality of American politics that emerged over the last five decades with Alinsky-Marxist organizing (AMO), a confluence of at least five erroneous religions.*

Many times, Comey said, I recall, “I was confused by . . .” or similar expression of his abject human adolescence. He was hesitant to behave with civic morality when A.G. Lynch told him not to report an investigation as an “investigation.” But nothing then inspired him to create records of the awful treatment the world was imposing on him! He was a victim! But he was hesitant and AMO-cunning when President Trump said he hoped Comey will get through the Russian falsehoods quickly.

Comey, born in 1960, was adolescent when Saul Alinsky published his book, “Rules for Radicals” (1971); James H. Cone his book, “Black Power and Black Liberation Theology” (1969); and naming the Congressional Black Caucus (1972). AMO tactics are being used by feminists, by gays and lesbians, and now by transgender thinkers, thanks to Al Capone and Barack Obama (see Adams). Comey demonstrated what James Poulos invokes: failure of fidelity to personal humanity. Poulos wrote, “The case for human freedom cannot succeed if the case for being human fails.”**

Worse yet,the media are at the heart of the amoralization of America, as President Trump so aptly expresses. What needs to happen next is for Congressional attention to turn from the perpetual foreign desires to influence American politics to the prosecution of Ms. Lynch, Mr. Comey, Ms. Clinton, and if possible, Barack Obama.

Meanwhile, I look forward to the better action from President Trump and his administration: Making America great is more important than prosecuting the guilty: Leave it to Congress.

Our Views (Edwards Medicaid mess). It seems like The Advocate has no inner voice saying, “Let a sleeping log die,” or “Better to be cute and thought a fool for Democrats than publish and disclose.”

Newly elected Gov. Edwards expected Hillary Clinton to grant him integrity on his campaign promise. Turned out she was unreliable.

The Trump administration’s “check writing off the wall” makes us think personal responsibility is being pushed out of the nanny state’s honey coming from bees onto people in their states taking charge. The plan is to end the accumulation of federal debt.  

  

Today’s thought (Psalms 121:1-2). There’s nothing like trust and commitment to the-objective-truth most of which is undiscovered and some of which is understood.

  

When "help from the hills" conflicts with the-discovered-objective-truth, I maintain fidelity to the discovery, no matter what Rev. G. E. Dean would do.

Children’s day (Gordon). If I were asked to prioritize the special days, this one would be at the top of my list. I would use the occasion to remind adults that children are persons and need all the coaching they can get in taking charge of their unique transition to civic young adult.

Dysfunction (Audiffred). The legislature reflects the people, so we may look to the people for a new way.

For 229 years most of the people have claimed yet neglected the preamble to the constitution for the USA. The preamble suggests voluntary public-integrity.
 

Integrity requires fidelity to the-objective-truth rather than mysteries, manners, and magic.

Draining the swamp (Rich Lowry). There’s evidence you are correct.

However, it’s possible that President Trump is merely undoing the unilateral actions of Barack Obama.

Also, there’s evidence that Trump is content to let Congress as well as the administration act under his leadership.

One of the delights of the year is this morning’s Associated Press report by Sadie Gurman and Mary Clare Jalonick that Trump nominated Christopher Wray for FBI director. It’s rare, reliable AP writer’s truth; their source is Trump’s twitter. Alas, typically, they taint their report by calling an interview today as blockbuster, when it’s really ho-hum whining from the enemy camp.

Landrieu (Cannizzaro). I certainly don’t care to be in New Orleans again.

U.S. alliances (David Ignatius). Good grief! Did you not see Canada’s announcement that they are going to increase defense spending 73% over the next decade?

I appreciate the major points of the Marshall Plan:

1.    A domestic political compact to address a crisis overseas.

2.    Mobilize the tools of government quickly like the military does.

3.    Policy enunciation matters less than implementation.

  

I want to mimic these principles in establishing the preamble to the constitution for the USA as the policy by which we implement voluntary public-integrity.

Articles

  

Strangulation and blunt force trauma and Mexican man (Page 1B). How can anyone propose controlling the earth’s atmosphere when there are so many barbarians in our cities?

  

Body Cam task force (Page 1A). “The state House on Wednesday gutted the membership of the thee-year-old Louisiana Law Enforcement Body Camera Implementation Task Force leaving only legislators, [perhaps a press representative,] and three law enforcement representatives. Among the representatives stripped from the task force were: the ACLU, the NAACP . . . the Louisiana Association of Broadcasters, the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys and the state public defender.

. . . an amendment sponsored by Baton Rouge Rep. Denise Marcelle, a Democrat who has led the charge on body camera implementation . . . This year state Sen. Bodi White, R-Central, sponsored Senate Concurring Resolution 31 renewing the work of the task force. The Senate contested the House amendment.”

Alinsky-Marxist organizations (AMO) do not communicate: They demand. AMO does not listen: It stonewalls. AMO does not collaborate: It ridicules. Perhaps after five decades of AMO conflict in order to achieve chaos we are at the AMO nadir and will soon experience an inflection point then an ascent toward restoration of the American republic.

It seems the AMO coordinator here is Together Baton Rouge.

If Rep. Marcelle is part of the reform, my congratulations to her.

It would not surprise me of reform toward civic justice begins in Baton Rouge, spreads to Louisiana, and influences the nation for an achievable, better future.

 

DOTD reliability (Page 3A). The Legislature defeats the people trust every chance they get. The democrats defense of Wilson turns me off Wilson, as though this springs diversion of traffic from the LA 1 bridge at Port Allen was no enough.

Nevertheless, I want to see an increase in gasoline tax with funds dedicated to reliving the working people from the parking lots they face daily.

 

Carson (Page 3A). All non-profits siphon money from the government’s goals. I support President Trump and Secretary Carson in their efforts to reduce waste. Redirect it to infrastructure (Page 3A). 

See also Page 8A about DOJ ending payouts to non-profits.

Our Views (Sheriffs protected the public on prison reform). That’s not collaboration for public safety & security.

Here’s how The Advocate logic goes:

“Approval of the 10 measures this week . . . is an illustration of what can happen when citizens and lawmakers approach Louisiana’s most vexing problems collaboratively.

Put off, until next year, is a more comprehensive assessment of felony sentences.”

“Louisiana’s three political tribes: Democrats, small-government Republicans and religious conservatives . . . hung together when district attorneys and sheriffs — some of whom benefit financially from housing state inmates — pushed back against the changes.”

The Advocate tacitly pits factional tribes with “[no] financial interest” against a civic people’s tribe: first responders.

My hometown newspaper would benefit from reading and understanding the preamble to the constitution for the USA. It divides inhabitants into only two tribes: A civic people and dissenters. A civic people collaborate for responsibly private lives more than for the city, state, nation and certainly more than for factional tribes such as Democrats, S-B Republicans, religiously self-righteous, first responders for public safety & security, and the media. A civic people collaborate for public justice.

Thanks to the first-responders, it seems a civic people may not have been hurt too badly by the sinister collaboration The Advocate praises. Between now and next year, I hope 2/3 of the people start making the preamble part of collaboration for an achievable better future, just in time to deal with felony sentences and any injustices in the “prison reforms” that were passed this year.

With 2/3 of inhabitants collaborating for civic justice (leaving more erroneous religious opinion in privacy), bad tribes such as The Advocate may reform . . . or remain dissenters.

  

Our Views (Not visiting New Orleans, June 6). It occurred to me that psychologically young Mitch Landrieu and the "my people" of New Orleans might ask why Lee would be remembered.

The response that flashed in my mind's heart is this: The errant 1861 president of the USA was so heartless that he asked Lee to lead the Union army at war against Lee's home, family, and state. Lee had the integrity to decline.

By that act, Lee exhibited the civic morality I write about: Fidelity to the-objective-truth, to self, to immediate family, to extended family, to friends, to the people, to the nation, to the world, and to the universe, both respectively and collectively. "To the president" would come after "to the nation."

I do not know the truth, but my opinion is that the 1861 president was a brilliant politician but not a patriot: He used the Declaration of Independence to undermine the constitution for the USA. For example, he said that returning slaves to owners was a constitutional provision but that it could be settled by the states. Wrong! Also, he did not point out that emancipation was considered but had been delayed when the slave-states ratio was 8:5. The ratio had changed to 15:19, and the time to plan emancipation had arrived. His first inaugural address, coming a month after the CSA met in Montgomery, Alabama, almost seemed like a dare for the CSA to cause war with a 7:27 states disadvantage.

One could say Lincoln did not believe the war would last, but the same can be said of Lee. It's too late for Mitch Landrieu to sense shame and reform. Time to forget Landrieu and look to a civic people for justice.

Today’s thought (1 John 3:18). CJB has “Children, let us love not with words and talk, but with actions and reality.” “Children” recalls Verse 1, “See what love the Father has lavished on us God’s children . . . the reason the world does not know us is that it has not known him.”

The-objective-truth informs us that when fellow citizens observe groups who treat members as “God’s children” while abusing others, the group is regarded as more erroneous religious believers. For example, the Civil War informed us that regarding someone as skin-color rather than a person is immoral, regardless of Bible passages.

Chapter 3 portrays God’s love as a mystery, but that love by God’s people is judged by the way “God’s people” or “brothers” treat each other. For example, they do not murder a brother, and the rich give “worldly possessions” to a needy “brother.” It seems the author holds these two examples as sufficient to guide a person’s conscience.

The-objective-truth informs me that among citizens, 1) I cannot judge a person, 2) love may be overboard, and 3) my behavior may invoke appreciation. Therefore, my objective is to inspire appreciation of my conduct rather than extend love to people who may prefer privacy.

In public connections, behaving to warrant appreciation may be more moral than extending love.

Not only do I not trust Dean: I do not trust Bible passages.

Letters.

Media reform for John Barry (Landry). I agree with your concern about fake opinion. John Barry must have financial interest in a law firm or something, because his continued pressure on the people to fund lawyers does not seem to go away. What’s astounding is that The Advocate gives him space to advertise.

Your letter, Ms. Landry, prompted a newspaper-idea to improve freedom-from tyranny over the minds of the public and increase readers' liberty-to choose. I request The Advocate to be the first newspaper to use the opinions page exclusively for well-grounded opinion based on the-objective-truth rather than religion or other egocentric agenda.

Have another section for propaganda and promotion of special interests. Instruct readers to direct letters to the appropriate editors, and when they miss-apply, simply don’t publish the letter. My letter in support of the preamble to the constitution for the USA might go in the opinions section, while my letter against black power and black liberation theology might go to the propaganda section. This innovation could warrant a prize in journalism, for example, one that recognizes service to a civic people.

Readers have varying interests. For example, liberal democrats just love to follow the media that supports Obama’s fabricated Trump-clown-under-Russian-control. I stopped commenting on the fake lies about it a couple months ago, because I have more fruitful work I’m doing. However, I occasionally check enlightenment such as the rights’ awful attack of Reality Winner and 2017 Hillary Clinton in the same week.

Thus, I might occasionally glance leave the opinions page to glance at the special interests page. I’d be pleased with knowing where to turn to find John Berry’s propaganda.

To Thomas Winn: I agree and suggest ‘the-objective-truth” as a non-subjective expression. Too many times another person said, "Yeah, Phil, I'm familiar with your truth." I don't encounter that response anymore, yet find silent dissent . . . I guess.  

We encounter a lot of stonewalling. Perhaps people are so busy living they don't "have time" for the-objective-truth . . . until they overdose, catch a disease, conceive a child, get abused, face the barrel of a gun, or run for high ground, among many possibilities. We work for voluntary public-integrity.

The-objective-truth identifies liars, sometimes brutally.

Lobbyist complaint (Bienvenu). Bo, we need to collaborate on "the greater good." I propose broadly-defined-civic-safety-&-security, so that each citizen may responsibly pursue the happiness they desire rather than someone's ideology, whether ancient or modern. If you need more explanation, I've got it, but if you understand my idea, I'd like to know your improvement on it.
