Maybe we'll actually get a Democratic candidate with some sense. Not likely, but possible.
...On second thought, I could say the same of the Republican party. :/
I love getting to see all the sides and especially watching the primary debates."
Me too but I hope that we get better choices next time.
Lots of people had sense in my opinion, even Michele Bachmann! The only person I didn't like was John Huntsman he was leaning to much to the left for me and Ron Paul, he was all ideas and no plans. I was always a Gingrich guy until the day he dropped out.
I also thought it was hilareous how Tim Pawlenty wanted to either cook us dinner or mow our lawns.
Gingrich was the best choice, I have no idea how Romney beat him.

I thought that ship was the S.S. America? Eventually Obama will throw America under the bus just like he did to Hillary.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
It's pretty funny, I get it.
Obama is gonna leave in so much "manure" I doubt very much that our next president is gonna be a democrat. I just hope the Republicans pick a candidate with a brain.
Leave the country* left that out ^
We need Mike Huckabee!
9-9-9!

Herman Cain has class.
Just...for the love of God...don't let Christie Creme become the republican nominee.
Go Herman Cain! The real capitalist!

Huckabee-Cain 2012! The Huck-Bus and the Cain-Train are on the road to the Whitehouse together!
Wat
Well Mike goes traveling around on something he calls the Huck Bus, like whenever he has a new book out or he's campaigning for someone, and during Herman Cain's campaign they said his followers we're getting on the Cain Train or something.
No, I mean what's going on with this discussion? I don't really follow politicians, just ideologies.
We're discussing who we want to run in 2016. I like Mike Huckabee and Liberosia likes Herman Cain. Who do you want to run?
I think Gingrich should try again, but somehow that doesn't seem likely.
He would be great but to many people attack him based on his previous social life ( in reference to his 2 divorces and he's in his 3rd marriage ) instead of judging him by his policies, which were great!
I'm surprised Romney beat him. I'm even more surprised Obama beat Romney.
I blame the idiots that don't research their candidates. Though heres one thing I need to point out, the republicans got around 3mil less voter turnout than McCain did but Obama got 8million less. He might have won but he doesn't have the same blind support he once did.
Hat-tip to the Drudge Report for this article. http://drudgereport.com/flash2.htm it's about Newt to all you fans out there.
Yeah, the majority of people I found didn't like Obama nor Romney, but called them dumb and dumber, respectively. Too bad they got it backwards and voted Maobama.
"Maobama" "facepalm"
The U.S. is not this.

Wikipedia has a lot more credibility than most people think it does.
In any case, it shouldn't be an all-purpose stop for information.
Whats with the hate on Wikipedia? What makes what some guy wrote a better source to use for in an argument or to prove a point? Even if he has some sort of accreditation there is always gonna be some sort of bias. There is no way to know what is fact unless you were there to witness that event.
I hate how teachers say you can do research on the internet but can't use Wikipedia. Instead you can use a source from anyone with credentials and it being okay, regardless of the author's bias.
^ Yeah. That's another reason I strongly oppose school.
Yeah wikipedia is not perfect but it isn't terrible. Why should I stop posting what is probably the only reference which we can all agree has "some" credibility. You don't want me to post from NYTimes?! Then I'd understand but Wikipedia should be a valuable resource for everyone.
We can try to understand the New York Times' effect on man.
It's liberal garbage but this is a good article.

I'm a statist, I think that the state is important in our lives and I don't think that makes me a liberal. Socially I'm conservative, economically I don't think capitalism can exist without at least minimal interference by government.
The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve the common good. It is true that capitalism doesif that catch-phrase has any meaningbut this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification of capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with mans rational nature, that it protects mans survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is: justice. AYN RAND
Indeed.
The inherent virtue of Capitalism is: justice.
We know it's your motto.
So Liberosia, are you going to post a list of all the nations and what political party they are a part of?
...And if not, could I try compiling the list?
I have a word document with a list of the nations so far...I'll make a factbook when I get some more people registered.
I'm approximately 100,000th in the world for best healthcare. Owned.
You don't want to have good health care in this game...it only counts socialized medicine, not free market health care. My insurance industry is massive, but I still have bad health.
Yep.
My nation is 59,652nd in the world and 26th here. Is that bad or good?
I made an "address" about this in my factbook a long time ago...it was when I was a newb and thought fact book entries could influence policy.
That's bad by my standards, but not as bad as most.
Why Tonakistan, it's downright medium.
Well I guess its true to my "Inoffensive Centrist Democracy" classification.
Come on...you're a Democratic-Republican, we've all gotta have some moderates around.
Yeah but I hate to be called "liberal" was called that once before here. I'm really just moderate.
What is funny is when I'm around liberals they view me as "right wing" and I can't understand why?
Anyways I side more with conservatives than liberals since liberals usually live in fantasy land.
Liberals are morons...usually. That's the reason you don't like to be called one.
*A hat tip to Board Member Soplestan...no offense intended.
Is Max Berry a liberal?
So appearntly ( atleast on Federal Islands standards ) I'm a Benedict Arnold.
Happy Veterans Day everyone.

It took you that long to notice that you're the primary traitor to the Federal Islands?
I did some snooping...they really, really seem to hate you over there.
Also, welcome Independent Statism.

He defected to our side (I like that word) when I noticed he wasn't really liking the environment at the Federal Islands (*cough, liberals over there).

Considering I couldn't find any evidence of wrongdoing, he probably didn't do anything wrong.
This could play a role in the cold war, though.

What? They're not liberals.

Abatael, if you want to call me a social liberal, I'd have to say you're wrong. I believe in state's rights and laws against abortion (although I take the libertarian stance on gay marriage, just that all marriage should be privatized). I am not for a government intrusion into our personal lives with excessive social regulations like they have in Texas and I am against the Federal Government accumulating power through emergency pieces of legislation like the USA PATRIOT Act and NDAA. If that makes me a liberal, whatever. You might want to call me a libertarian, seeing as I am extremely far to the right wing on economic policy (i.e. I'm a neo-liberal), but a slight civil libertarian when it comes to social issues.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
The term liberal used to be a good thing. There's neo-liberalism, the term for free markets and free economics. Only in today's terms is "liberal" acknowledged as a bad term meaning more government, more taxes, and less freedom, for the people. I am a Libertarian (i.e. Ron Paul, Rand Paul) although I disagree with these guys on things like water boarding and some other social issues I am more conservative on.
National Socialism, Socialism, what's the difference? Hah! Please don't be silly. There is a big difference between those three, obviously.
There's little difference between "Liberosia" and "Libertarian".
Actually yes! My bad.
Adam Smith, my man.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
But it's still socialism, and that's what Libertatem is for fighting against. And I disagree that it's any better, it's essentially the same. The only difference is that it attacks a race, socialism attacks a class.
They both attack class (Hitler was a luke warm economic socialist), but National Socialism also emphasizes the nation, as opposed to socialism emphasizing the unity of the "Proletariat" across the world.

Calvin Coolidge, Ronald Reagan, Adam Smith...Jesus?!
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
So you're saying that Benito Mussolini, our enemy in World War II and an ally of Hitler is a better man than Jesus?!
I'd like to point out in my telegram above, I know Abatael doesn't think that, I was just trying to make him admit that there are greater men than Mussolini.

Jesus was 100% man and 100% God. He came out of the womb and he spilt blood. That's a tenet of the Catholic and many Protestant Churches.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Simply proving Jesus's divinity (which I believe in) doesn't disprove his humanity. Jesus was God on earth, yes, but in that he was also a man.
The source: my catholic history teacher when he was explaining the tenets of the Catholic Church in class. I'm a Protestant.
Here's this, too: http://www.desiringgod.org/resource-library/articles/how-can-jesus-be-god-and-man
And this is not the full point...I was just naming people better than Mussolini. I still maintain Reagan, Coolidge, Smith, Lee and others were far better than ol' Benito.

Whatever, Abatael, that's a religious debate I'm not willing to have on the RMB. I'll be right back with some biblical verses...
