Region: Libertatem

History

Post self-deleted by Narland.

I got an F on a Communications essay during High School for bringing that up. IIRC, the report was about how fiat currency, fractional reserve banking, and Keynesian economic projections were a petty dictator's best tools for gaining unaccounted revenue. I wasn't to show people how to exploit flaws in "our system." Appealing for a better grade was a fool's errand. The principal didn’t understand why I would quote from evil dictators. It was surreal.

Congratulations, to the new Chief Justice-Elect Aradites. I will post the Oath for all three Justices ([nation=short]Miencraft[/nation], [nation=short]The New United States[/nation], [nation=short]The Aradites[/nation]) to take at their leisure. At such a time, they will officially make up our very first Bench of the Supreme Court of Libertatem!

I, Justice [nation], do solemnly swear to protect, defend, and uphold the Constitution of Libertatem. I swear to execute the will of the People of Libertatem within the rightful extents of the law. I affirm that it is my solemn duty to defend Libertatem from all threats, foreign and domestic, to uphold the integrity of the region. I promise to uphold these obligations understanding the sanctity of my office, so help me God.

Not particularly, it's just interesting that I've taken the same oath for three other offices before this one.

Nobody wants to change it, which is cool, but it does get a bit boring.

I think that the oath should resemble an excerpt from a Dr Seuss book. That would be a not boring oath.

I think the word "God" should be taken out of the oath.

Literally every time I took an oath I left that part out. It's not mandatory.

No, there should be no recognition of God in any of our oaths. Church must be separate of state.

Those who don't believe in God are allowed to take their oath without referencing deity, and those that do believe in God are allowed to reference deity. Referencing God is voluntary. I really don't see any problem with that.

Ron Lite has been a pretty big disappointment over all, but can't help but get excited about the thought of him maybe being president.

I may need help.

This early debate is a joke. All that has happened is talking about Trump and Santorum and Graham yelling at each other about immigration.

I could definitely see her being the next President, and a strong one at that!

Rand really disappointed me. Carson and Rubio really gained points in my book. Fiorina did well, but not as good as I thought she would. Last night was the beginning of Trump's downfall.

I don't even know who the rest of them were.

I really like Rubio, but his (seemingly) uncharacteristic enthusiasm for the federal sugar program really muddies his otherwise excellent voting record and terrific reputation, and it confuses me.

Cruz is still my top choice, far and away. I was disappointed that he, despite being 4th in the polls and one the most dangerous candidates in the running (huge financial backing, rivaled only by Bush, and overwhelming support among conservative activists), received the third least amount of camera time.

It's cause he's from Florida. It's ridiculous how much money sugar brings in, but then again it is ever increasingly more difficult to find food products without it.

Which is exactly why America should not be placing such prohibitive tariffs on the importation of sugar.

I don't like Paul in the least bit, he's not anything like his father. I like Carson a lof, because I think he is a really nice and genuine guy, but I do not think he would make a very good President. He is not strong enough for foreign affairs and he is not the best orator. Rubio is still one of my favorites, especially because be is young and charismatic, and if he is nominated, he will definitely win in the general election. In addition, he would break the idea that the Republican party is for old white guys and he would lead the Republican Party to the future in my opinion. Though he did stumble a bit in this debate. I still think Fiorina is a Rockstar! Very good speaker! I also like how Jeb defended his brother, and if he did that more instead of trying to pander to the liberal media by proving he is different, he'd do a lot better.

I honestly think that Trump was hired by the Republican party for the sole purpose of distracting and drawing fire away from the other candidates by the liberal media. In the past, the media would burn each candidate, effectively choosing the candidate, but not the party can actually choose the person they like. Plus, it also gives each candidate an opportunity to "prove" they can stand up to bullies. If they can stand up to Trump, they can stand up to Putin and Xi. It is essentially a media ploy and a test for the candidates. This may or may not be true, but it is what I would do if I were the party.

I also have a factbook of Neo-American flags that I have made and found. Would y'all mind looking at them and telling me which one you like best? :)

No Serfdom

Which do you all think is better? A single Head of State & Government like in a Presidential Republic? A Head of State and a Head of Government like in a Semi-Presidential Republic? Or having a Collegial Head of Government like the Federal Council in Switzerland? Also, do you guys like the Secretariat (Secretary of State, Defense, etc.) better or the Directorate (Director of State, Defense, etc.) better?

And should I roleplay as a Neo American Republic or should I be a North American Unionish type country?

Tough..... Hillary i must go.

Greater Columbion

Same. Hillary. Sure, she's a corrupt, whiny, irrational, piece of turd, but if she's anything like her husband, she'd at least be fairly status quo on social issues while hopefully keeping taxes low and the minimum wage even. Sanders would ruin us with a 15$ minimum wage, and Trump would ruin us with a multi billion dollar fence on the border. From a social standpoint, Sanders might see the most progress in social issues, but Hillary at least hopefully wouldn't make things any worse than Trump while still Trumping him economically.
