Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Comrades: the voices of the dead battalions Of those that fell that the Reich might be great, :Join in our song, for they still march in spirit with us And urge us on to gain the Peoples State!: We're of their blood, and spirit of their spirit, Sprung from that soil for whose dear sake they bled; :'Gainst vested powers, Zionism, and massed ranks of Reaction We lead the fight for Freedom and for Bread.: The streets are still; the final struggle's ended; Flushed with the fight we proudly hail the dawn ! :See, over all the streets the hammer and sickle waving- Triumphant standard of a race reborn !: We are the army of the Flash and circle!, Raise high the red Flags! :We want to build Aryan labour's Road to Liberty!: We are National Bolsheviks, Want no Reactionaries! :We hate Jews and Marxists Long live the Aryan Revolution!: Onward, brothers, to the barricades! The Leader calls, follow him now! :Reaction has betrayed him But the Natbol state comes nevertheless!:
Current:
| From sandy shores to mountainsides, from the hills to the plains, the Republic shines its light on thee! The Republic lives in every mind, every heart that beats free bears witness, to the great justice within Badara! Long live Badara, long lives it’s people! Long live the Republic, and democracy! |
Proposed:
| A homeland that extended its wings over the horizon, And wore the glory of civilization as a garment-- Blessed be the land of the two isles, A homeland of glorious determination and tolerance. This homeland is made of flame and splendour And pride unequaled by the high heavens. It is a mountain that rises above the tops of the world And a plain that embodies our pride. The sea is inherent in us and Al\\\'Badara is ours, And because of the glory of our background History itself radiates with light, And it is we alone who possess the anger of the sword And the patience of the prophets. Oh company of Al\\\'Badara, you pride of lions, Oh pinnacle of pride and of inherited glory, Advance, bringing terror, to a certain victory And resurrect the time of olden gold in our land! We are a generation who give all and toil to the utmost. Oh expanse of glory, we have returned anew To a nation that we build with unyielding determination. And each martyr follows in the footsteps of a former martyr. Our mighty nation is filled with pride and vigour And the comrades build the fortresses of glory. Oh Al\\\'Badara, may you remain forever a refuge for all the Arabs And be as suns that turn night into day! |

| Message | I cannot agree with this. The state must be changed but your new anthem\'s lyrics highlight the Arabs as a race above the rest, and they are not. Equality is my motto, so change the lyrics for this won\'t pass. Also, we should rename the country, we are not a Muslim state. Show respect to our atheist comrades. |

| Message | This anthem was the one prior to the bolshevik saisserist rule and was chosen for historical reasons only, but if the MPWP prefers the current Bolshevik one instead... OOC: I think Al\'Badara was RP\'ed for a long long time as a majrly Arab Muslim state, wasn\'t it? |

| Message | \"A homeland of glorious determination and tolerance.\" You can\'t seriously tell us that this implies that the Arab culture is above the rest. And Al\'Badara is an Arabic name because our nation if mainly Arabic, not because our nation is mostly Muslim. None of these reforms imply any favoritism of Muslims or Arabs. |
| Date | 13:40:52, November 03, 2008 CET | From | Kébé Front | To | Debating the A Renewal of Al\'Badaran Values |
| Message | As for the \"Oh Al\\\\\\\'Badara, may you remain forever a refuge for all the Arabs\" line, Al\'Badara is truly one of the only refuges for the Arabic people, because we are the only ones with enough tolerance to accept them. If we can do such while others can not, it is clear that we will accept all others. |
