Region: Libertatem
I'm sorry, sir. I don't speak jive...
So, let me get this straight? They tried to repeal legislation, it failed, so they proceed to propose the exact same thing again.
Translated from African American Politician to White Talk:
You seem like a gullible person who may have voted for me at least once, please hit the button with an arrow up in my dispatches.
http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatches/nation=barry_obama
I know... After a while, it gets pretty ridiculous.
If you up-like my dispatches right now I will send you a video of Michelle twerking.
Once I become a citizen, can I write for the newspaper?
*whispers* I'll get you a fake ID and a Visa if you just up-like my sh*t.
Anyone like my new badge?

Nifty eh? Anyone who has participated in the IS raid should have one technically. I might make colored stripe distinctions soon.
I like it, now if you like my dispatches we are even.

You wont regret it. Just like voting for me.
Gary>Barry
Gary had a threesome with me and Michelle, now up-like.
Citizenship is not a pre-requisite as far as I know.
Also guys, if you want to join the Libertatem military and haven't applied yet, just telegram me or Pev and I'll add you to the roster. Please be sure to specify whether you want to be apart of the active forces or reserves.
I've moved some people who are inactive or unable to participate in the military to the "inactive" spot. If you are active and able, just telegram me and I'll move you back.
I think Pev knows I'm back in the game.
Citizenship isn't technically a prerequisite, and any resident can submit newspaper articles.
I will, however, only grant the ability to approve articles to citizens for trust reasons.
That shouldn't be a problem though, since I'll accept 99.999999% of articles that get submitted anyways.
Well now I'm officially a citizen.
I need up-likes, I will love the grand Libertatem forever if I do. http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=312854
You... must have a lot of time on your hands.
Easily debunkable fallacy. But I'm lazy.
Basically, if you've got less horses then you've also got less food, because the horses that were working the fields before are now dead. Those that weren't are no longer operating the machinery.
How about instead of killing ten horses, we let the horses trade with each other and horses on other farms, access better agricultural technology and - GASP! - build roads. Then we can feed all 20 horses, and have enough food to feed more baby horses.
You didn't say they were on a farm...I mean it's me. I'll get a horse without a farm.
Horses can't trade. I'm nitpicking now because you make points I can't argue.
I didn't say Ebola was the only solution, Just it was a current solution.
That isn't my only song, look at ALL my dispatches.
Cold As Ike - http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=312853
The NSA's Watching Me - http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=313046
Now here are the real songs they were derived from:
1. Thrift Shop by Macklemore = Debt Shop
2. Cold As Ice by Foreigner = Cold As Ike
3. Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell = The NSA's Watching Me
Then all songs I come out with are put onto this album: http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=313030
Statist Idiot of the Day:
President William Taft, for pushing the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which created the income tax.
I just met Clark Howard!
Horses, in this case, are an allegory for the people of Africa. So African people can trade with others, and have done so to great success in Rwanda, Ghana, Mauritius and Botswana.
The death of a few thousand people is a tiny speck amongst 1.1 billion people. So that just sounds like pointless death to me.
A dollar earned in a time of debt isn't worthless so how is a death pointless?
I know they are.
What are you talking about?
Dollars being deaths and Population being debt.
You've confused me now.
Bottom line: more people in Africa is a good thing, because it's more people producing and creating and consuming. The hunger and chaos is a result of government policies that encourage corruption, protectionism and murder. If we could liberalise the entirety of Africa then the outpouring of untapped wealth would be immense enough to bring nearly everyone out of poverty in the long run. Also, overpopulation is bullshit.
Mission accomplished. Just be glad you weren't hear when thw communist side of my bread took over. I swear it's like my brain has a 3 way battles between Libertarianism, Social Conservatism and Left Wing Economic Libertarianism.
Overpopulation is not BS...it isn't. Worldwide overpopulation is BS not not regional overpopulation.
No matter what you say there is always a carrying capacity.

People...please...I can no do youtube.
No wonder Teddy Roosevelt was ashamed of that guy.
Actually it was about the new tariffs
He doesn't have a clean record on tax either. The Bull Moose Party supported creating an income tax.
Briefly blocking executive powers for update time.
Proof lib doesn't trust our democratic system to survive on its own
I don't trust a democracy to survive on it's own.
Not with American Democracy...
I mean. I think Obama is trying to get America in the worst position possible because in an event of national emergency the President can suspend elections until the crisis is clear.
I think thats a little ridiculous x)
You don't think in the first 6 years there could have been a false flag event if he [B]wanted[/B] to make that happen?
Here is whats going to happen: Obama is going to serve his last 2 years in office. Then he is going to.... wait for it...... [B]not be President[/B].
Shocking, I know.
Even more shocking, there will actually be another President AFTER Obama, crazy right????????
I mean it's just a thought. I'm not completely on board with that Radical Rightist view. But it seems Oh look it's the 6th year. He antagonize Russia, Is opening our borders, and encouraging air travel and private enterprise to Western Africa in spite of the Ebola crisis he's also letting Isis grow stronger over seas when we need to intervene. Isis is a threat yo America, but he seems to let them grow larger.
This. ^
The most tragic thing about the recent ebola outbreak is that the situation in Africa has improved and stabilized dramatically in the last twenty years. Countries like Rwanda are now models for how developing countries can attract business and improve the average quality of life. TTA's view that dying people are a good thing is not only outrageously callous (so much for his 'Christian' ethic), but also shockingly ignorant of the actual situation on the ground.

Ohh yes, not like Russia has been aiding our enemies for almost 100 years.... :P
As for ISIS, we've been absolutely hammering them with drones and airstrikes. As have multiple other countries. Why, after 10 long years of war and thousands of American lives lost, should we go back into the exact same place we were? We've bankrupted our nation with well over $1,000,000,000,000 spent in Iraq alone not to mention the absolutely gigantic "defense" budget.
This is a civil war. We need to wrap our heads around this. They've been fighting for thousands of years, an intervention will only further destabilize the region as we did when we took out Saddam. He was a horrible guy, but damnit Iraq had one of the highest standards of living and relative order and safety compared to other countries in the Middle East. Just like Vietnam, its not gonna work. We shouldnt get involved in a civil war.
1. So...antagonizing Putin is no smart.
2. Because the Air Strikes aren't working. In all honesty Isis is CONTINUING to expand. Air strikes are not working at all and for you to sit here and say they are is idiotic. We need to lower our budget yes, but is it not more of an issue to stop something that threatens America. If we don't want to send in ground troops at least close the borders to keep Isis somewhat at bay. Not stopping them and opening our borders is plain stupidity.
3. There's a difference. This time it's true civil war. The region has ready been destabilized we need to actually stabilize it by neutralizing the threat. I can't believe your over here saying that we will make it worse. We take out Isis then Isis will be pushed back. We then need to Annihilate all who believe in the ideology of a Militant Islamic State as they are a threat to the Middle East and America.
1. Name a few actions that antagonized Putin, please.
2. Yes, ISIS is coming to America, LOCK DOWN THE BORDERS! I dont know why you're worried about Obama taking control when at the same time you're begging him to take control. Make up your mind :/ Should the government not protect you or should it protect you?
3. No, it was long before we got there. Sunni's and Shia's have been in constant war for well over 1,000 years. Its not like ohh America's gone, civil war. There was (if you paid attention anywhere from 2002 to 2009) a massive civil war in Iraq between Shia's and Sunni's.
And ohh yes, if we take out ISIS, we will be safe and Iraq will be free..... HMM WHEN HAVE I HEARD THIS WAR MONGERING RHETORIC BEFORE.....
1. Everything Obama did it the Ukraine issue when the best solution WA letting East Ukraine decide.
2. It should protect me. I want Obama to take control of the borders till his last two years are up. He doesn't need open borders at all. Especially with Isis and Ebola.
3. Yes, but it usually doesn't take the form of an Islamic State which has threatened the European and American Nations and has the ability due to open borders to make ut happen. Do you think I care about anyone over there? No. But I care about my country and that's why we need to stop them.
Fun fact: Ebola is actually one of the smallest "epidemics" of our time.
It's not even airborne. You'd actually have to be dumb enough to decide that it's a good idea to touch someone's bodily fluids.
Fun Fact: After recovering from Ebola the disease continues to be active inside Male Semen for 90 days.
That is indeed a fun fact.
The rmb is now pretty quiet after TTA said that fact.
See where your Governor ranks on economic policy on Cato's biannual Fiscal Policy Report Card on America's Governors 2014: http://www.cato.org/publications/white-paper/fiscal-policy-report-card-americas-governors-2014
Good to see Brownback and Pence get As. Kansas has begun to eliminate its income tax, which is amazing. But it's got a long way to go.
Pence has been good to us.
I'm stuck with Pat Quinn....
M'boi John Hickenlooper reppin' the 49th place. Not 50th, but he sure tried
:( Something is missing
Missing?
My governor currently is Rick Perry.
ha
Quick, someone tell me how they graded Cuomo, because if I do it myself I'll be even more disappointed.
Hey! We've got Rauner '15 to root for!
Robert Bentley is mine.
Rick Snyder for the win!
Cuomo isn't as much as a failure as I thought he'd be.
WHHAAAAAATTT????^^^
Let us all take the time to celebrate the fact that we are not the guy that wrote this proposal.
"* we need to stop banning oil it a good industry for nation, and region.
* oil help nations then wind power.
* oil well make the oil industry first in the world.
* we also need to stop the EPA ban on oil.
* gas well not $4.00 it be $1.30 after the oil industry boom"
John Kasich,
Grade: D
What is really pitiful is that the dems couldnt even get a real candidate out this year to at least point out how hypocritical kasich has been. i kid you not this alleged "opponent," FitzGerald, is an utter joke, aside from policy they found this guy had been driving without a licence for years.
NO MATTER WHAT.
I enact policies on this game as I would in real life, but my ECONOMY ALWAYS BECOMES SOCIALIST!
Hey, you're the one who always expects the government to fix stuff. Is it really any wonder?
Yes...I try choosing the most capitalistic policies.
44 minutes ago: Following new legislation in The Human-Equine Alliance, only adults may purchase violent video games
3 days ago: Following new legislation in The Human-Equine Alliance, research into 'designer babies' is banned.
3 days ago: Following new legislation in The Human-Equine Alliance, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines.
There's a few throwing you onto the socialist side.
I see....
Post self-deleted by The Human-Equine Alliance.
I was thinking the same thing... I was also surprised to see Chris Christie get a B.
Both Cuomo and Christie deserve credit for taking on the public-sector unions and winning some serious concessions.
Honestly, I would probably be okay with either of these guys winning the presidency. This looks like the first year I might be willing to vote for a Democrat for president, mainly due to how awful the GOP's candidates are...
Or you can vote a third party...because we have those...we do. I checked.
I will vote Republican if Rand Paul wins primaries, but if not I think I'll have to look at my third parties.
XTREME 90's STYLE
Indeed, but both are fans of crony capitalism, so they're hardly perfect.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Isn't that a step too far?
Generally speaking, he Republicans are a group of warmongering, corporatist reactionaries. But at least they have a glimmer of hope in their eyes. They are supporters of tax reform, oppose the onward march of the state monopolization of guns and healthcare and, at least from an ideological level, oppose expansions in the welfare state. However, they are not a progressive party, so have sought to slow or prevent further growth of government rather than rolling it back. Of course, exceptions exist, such as Rand Paul and Thomas Massie, who we should help take control of the party. But ALL Democrats, however, are openly opposed to economic progress and liberalisation. All of them support more spending, more government and more regulation. The only differences between Democrats is how far they are willing to rape the taxpayer.
It is also worthy of note that the Democratic Party contains all the anti-liberty drawbacks of the Republican Party. They are aggressively pro-war. They are aggressively pro-Drug War. They seem to be opposed to the Bill of Rights in its entirety.
The choice in 2016 may likely be painful, but either way it will be clear. Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton are both for permanent war and centralised education, but Jeb has a decent record on economic freedom and immigration reform. The same goes with the other Governors who are potential candidates, like Scott Walker and Bobby Jindal.
The only Republican who'd be worth going to Hillary over is Rick Santorum. Now he is genuinely scary.
Wat
Rick Santorum?
*shudders*
*brings in 5 soldiers to help defend Libertatem*
*Founder password protects and takes away executive powers like Zenny told them to do*
:P Well, that was a waste of my effort.
I thought you were helping us. I'll tell Lib to undue the executive function.
Anyway, stick around for a spell.
Isn't that the point of this? O_o
We we're asked to come.
By whom?
Wait a response from the actual Zenny first.
Funky, he said you guys were possibly going to get tagged, so we came to help you guys out. I told him to tell the founder to just take away executive for like 20 minutes during update, but apparently there was some kind of alert from the War Ministry or something so I thought ohh maybe the Founder wont be on today or something.
*shrugs* No harm done, I suppose. But you guys seem to have had it handled so I'm disappointed we couldn't be of any aid today.
*pulls string on Magic Conch*
"Maybe someday"
Unrelated, I reactivated some old puppets that I used to have here.
Sometimes, I wonder what I was on when I made them.
Other times, I appreciate the fact that I can read 1-year-old telegrams without having to get Postmaster General and wait a year on account of how it's been a year since I last checked that puppet in the first place.
I also found the names of nations from as far back as three or four years ago. Good times.
Heh.
I have a question. If The Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Constitutional and Green Parties all disappeared what other party would you vote for?
We appreciate your help immensely however. Not many regions would willingly come to our defense. But I am sure in the future we could make use of you. Just stay in contact.
Anyway, I am going to have a little talk with Funky...
Whichever party produces an intelligent candidate.
Objectivist or Whig.
2 minutes ago: The People's Republic of ZennyTheRed departed this region for Land Of Boobies.

Don't judge me D: I like to squeeze the ladies!
So whichever of these gives the best candidate.
Isn't Third Position a fascist party?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Freedom_Party
White supremacist.
I hope he likes them for different reasons, otherwise I'll step out of the conversation x)
Every month.
Every single month, NS++ decides that 90% of it doesn't work anymore.
Sometimes, I hate people.
Yeah.
They are however they aren't a Total Fascist Party
[Reference Joke to the Total Fascists Party's review of the A3P]
however I wisely support their policies on the size of the American Government in economics and it's view on the border crisis and foreign Intervention.
