| Message | General Karl Richards MP, NSC Leader, Mr Speaker, my first proposal as NSC Leader is a personal one. My experiences in the Hutorian Army have led me to believe that nuclear weaponry is an absolute necessity. Nuclear weaponry is the ultimate safety feature that Hutori can give to its people and the fact that the government denies this shows how they value ideology over the nations safety. Mr Speaker, the NSC has carried out polling on the issue of the military. Our research shows that people in Hutori favour an agressive military stance and we as the party that puts people over ideology will grant them their requests. After all they are the people who elect NSC MP's and we are obligated to reflect their views within this House. Mr Speaker, the CLP will undoubtedly lecture the House on their views as if we are children. The simple fact is that we stand for the views of millions of Hutorians and this cannot be ignored for long because in the end the electorate will soon become fed up with CLP rule and the passage of recent laws promoting Capitalist exploitation will undoubtedly anger the electorate and tilt the balance of the next election in the favour of the National Socialist Congress! |

| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
