| Message | How can paramilitaries secure our state's sovereignty? They will cause a lot of problems and political instability. A civil war is the last thing this country needs. Political power should be democratically gained and not gained by a civil war. And why shouldn't be the defence industry subsidised by the government? The defence industry needs subsidises to be strong. |

| Message | Defense is most reasonably and effectively handled by a free market. It is the government's job to use and command the army, and the market's job to produce for it. As for paramilitaries, the suppression of our people's right to defend their constitutional rights will prevent them from being truly free under an oppressive state. |

| Message | Additionally, our people will have more loyalty and trust in a government which permits them to defend themselves and their rights as opposed to one which controls them with an iron fist. So long as a group is right in the eyes of our Lord, it is an ally of our state. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Again, the far-right is trying to lead Luthori towards chaos. You remind me of the Holy Luthori Church, I'm talking about the party. |

| Message | We simply wish for our people to remain independent and faithful to our Lord. It is not our fault that the Communist disease has swept through the legislature. |
