| Message | If people wish to serve in the military, then by all means allow them to do so. This bill is ridiculous, and hypocritical at the least. |

| Message | "If we allow this, we will allow terrorist scum to infiltrate our only source of defense and as a result, we will become severely weakened. Do you want this, are you a liberal pacifist? Where are your moral values, we must defend this nation in the name of the Great Lady!" Senator Joseph Unger |
| Date | 05:51:21, September 13, 2008 CET | From | The New Conservative Alliance | To | Debating the Senate Resolution 84: Agenda Reformation Act |
| Message | I would remind the Senator that our very principles are based on reality. You've wished to recently glorify a known terrorist bomber as a national hero, yet you question my moral values? The problems within this country, stem from too much government involvement and overly extremist movements such as yours and from other parts of the right and left. |

| Message | If you speak negatively about St. Jonathan the Great, then you sir are of no principle. St. Jonathan remains an honorable individual, a hero who displayed the courage to act when necessary. This is no extremist movement, it is the initiation of morally based society. Are moral values extreme to you? If so, then we may be branded as an extremist party. Senator Joseph Unger |

| Message | We have been driven to insanity by the incompetent and irresponsible CMP took a monopoly on government. The state of the nation has plummetted so low that we can no longer take this country seriously. The lack of moral values also ruined the nation. Honorable Senator Sharrona J. Klutz |
| Date | 07:45:22, September 13, 2008 CET | From | Anarcho-Atheist League | To | Debating the Senate Resolution 84: Agenda Reformation Act |
