[SFP] Swiss Freedom Party
jensenn
These are the times that try men’s souls.
Our party’s candidate was defeated on Day 2177 by the opposing candidate, [insert name]. While we mourn our loss, we are not ashamed. Indeed, we celebrate the fact that, though outnumbered 5 to 2, we achieved such a high percentage of the votes: 42%! With results such as these, the only sensible option is to try, try, and try again with Dan/naD Wilshire as our candidate.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
Even as you read this, the situation with Slovenia continues to be brought to a standstill with very little progress. We celebrate the efforts that Switzerland was forced to undertake in order to establish ten members of Congress, however; it was desperate. Switzerland needs a president who will bring a more permanent change to the situation and liberate Switzerland, and we believe Dan/naD Wilshire is that candidate.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.
No one will deny that it will take a great deal of effort to liberate Switzerland. However, in all things, the amount of effort it takes to solve a problem is proportional to the quality of the result. Victory tastes sweeter when one works for it, but not if it is given to them. To this end, no one will try harder than us, the Swiss Freedom Party, to free Switzerland from its oppressors. However, this cannot happen unless all of Switzerland unites for the common goal, as a miracle will not happen unless everyone believes in it.
Reader, suppose you were an idiot. Now suppose you were a member of the Swiss Cabinet. But I repeat myself.
The current Swiss Cabinet has only been in office for four days as of the time of writing; thusly, it is unfair to say they haven’t done anything. Yet we of the Swiss Freedom Party believe that our candidate’s choices would have been spectacular in every way, shape, and form. Our candidate has been and will be diplomatic first, yet quick of mind; always helping, and always there; always respectful of others’ opinions, yet able to distinguish a good idea from a bad one.
Let the real Swiss take charge in this nation and steer it towards a better future.
I offer to you this last quote.
Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.

Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.

Quaint, but incorrect 🙁
You can't disagree- he's Swiss.

"True patriotism sometimes requires of men to act exactly contrary, at one period, to that which it does at another, and the motive which impels them — the desire to do right — is precisely the same." - General Robert E. Lee.
Do you realize the Lee was fighting to keep people in slavery?! !!
No, actually he opposed slavery. I have read up about him quite a bit actually, since I happen to be (quite distantly) related to him, and he was a man of principle and as such he decided to side with what he considered to be 'his home', Virginia, in the conflict. Largely due to the strong ties he had with the state.
That is one of the reasons, along with his 'honourable way' of executing warfare for example, that he was treated so well by the Unionists after the war. He was, for example, head master of a university after the war if I remember correctly. 🙂
Furthermore, I'm not quite sure what your point would be even if you perhaps happen to be right. That you strongly disagree with a man on one issue does not mean that everything he said or did was rubbish, especially when it comes to men of such great stature such as Lee, or even people such as Putin, Obama or Cameron. I happen to disagree quite strongly with all of those three people (although perhaps not on such an important and horrendous issue as slavery) but I can still respect all three of them for their experience, ability to do what they are doing, and their skill at doing it. They have all contributed to society in some way, even though they may have done many stupid or nearly repulsing things, even if there may be or may have been people better than them. 🙂
"The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is known & ordered by a wise Merciful Providence." R. E. Lee, 1856
I acquiesce.
You have more than proven your point. Your argument is quite compelling.
I had written with only the most cursory understanding of Lee and his principles and philosophy. So... in his own words.... let me say, "I surrender".
Hmmmm.
it looks like more of this principles and philosophies are coming to light. Thank you mccvii.

Continues à donner ton max pour la Suisse et à faire bouger les choses

I know that guy, Unknown. He beats his wife.
The unnamed 😄😝😁
Don't say his name hahaha
hahahahaha
meh, you can't expect to have results in only 4 days.
Tbh we don't expect anything hahahaha
This article differs so much from every conversation I have ever seen you write. Keep up the good work.
I like this, talking and listening rather than shouting and closing off 🙂
v for Switzerland o/

Glorious speech words without any particular actions or plans written, making it kind of empty in point.
I don't think so but hey how can you know, I'm tired of the same closed minded people around doing the same always behind doors.
I'm just saying, your article or promotion would benefit if those wasn't just empty big words thrown around and there would be some explanation to how those things will be succeeded.
Good example: the situation with Slovenia would be resolved this and this way if Dan was in the seat.
Bad example: the situation with Slovenia would be resolved when Dan is in the seat because we're super cool like that and got hands on some pixies and magic wizards and shit.
All I'm saying is, that your promo/propaganda or whatever this is would benefit from having actual actions and promises not just big words that haven't been operationalized.
Also I'm getting really tired that people are trying to get elected by speaking bad about the current or the administration before. This article shouldn't even mention it, because the administration has been active for just few days. It is stupid to even imply at this moment that they're doing a bad job. In review after the month everyone can judge, but don't make it a platform trying to shit all over the man before you in the seat. The stink in the seat won't vanish even after you get it, you know. Leave the petty politics tricks to the outside world.
You don't know anything about what's going on, thats why your argument is invalid.
Lol really? This is your response, I was rather thinking we could have a civilized discussion. But honestly this is insulting. So I'm not even going to entertain your little brain with reasons why I exactly know what's going on. I'll just say you are really misled and over paranoid about the situation.
Yes, really.
Lol at you guys saying you're always going to be diplomatic and not even being able to discuss things with your own citizens in a civilized manner.
I would have said it myself was I not away yesterday. Well done, Dan, I thank you for saying it in my stead.
At the moment there is no need for particular actions or plans. After all, the elections were recently held, but who is to say there won't be more articles?
Well wouldn't it be in the interest of the whole country if everyone who had any good ideas actually would step forward and introduce them not just wait until they happen to finally get the CP position? It is stupid to start strategically holding ideas until you can be the one to get the full glory for them. It is such a selfish and stupid act especially for people who claim to stand for the real Swiss and for the country's interests. Not to even mention that certain ideas can be implemented only in a limited period of time. Meaning situations change and new ideas are constantly needed. Meaning something that was a relevant option/idea 4 months ago, isn't remotely relevant anymore. So really if anybody claims to stand for the country and claims to not be selfish then, I'd advise helping the administration at hand or lending them ideas. Even if you don't like the people in charge personally, still for the sake of the country you should try to push your good ideas, not just hold onto them till you once get the chance to lead.
I never said that there was the idea that there would be a push in ideas AFTER we got the CP position. I merely said that this is not the time yet to push such ideas forward. The time will probably be in a few days.
Funny a person who has only been around for two weeks suddenly has the plan and knows all about everything going on. I smell something fishy here...
Okay Clyuue, that sounds reasonable, my mistake with the interpretation then.
Although Lansizzle you might be onto something aswell.
looks like you few are out of the loop. a great number of people already know who I am
A great number huh? Like 5? 5 is a great number. So is 7. I like 7 a lot. But my favorite number is 2. And I'm willing to bet, only two people in this entire country really know who you are. My guess is you are either one of their friends, or you are one of them (multi alert!). If I'm wrong, so be it. I have been wrong before. But I'm willing to bet I'm not. And neither of us can prove otherwise, so I suppose the issue is moot. Carry on...
Oh look it's someone new, lets call them a multi! It really does devalue your stance in this argument...
No Dan, the argument is that they assume that they know something and have all of the answers after being here for two weeks, which sounds awfully suspicious... Where were they a week ago, when people were being asked about cabinet positions, and suggestions for the office? Why did they not step up then? Oh yeah, that's right, it is because they are too new to do anything, right...
Which leads me to my point. If they are too new to do anything, how are they educated enough to know what is going on now is wrong? I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but I know a duck is a duck, because it looks like a duck, it walks like a duck, it quacks like a duck.
You have no idea how long Clyuue has been playing the game. Have you ever consider that Clyuue used to play this game but left and came back on a new account?
I've known the player behind Clyuue for at least a year. Lotus Black, Trogdor, Paul Proteus, Gyantse, Madkytle, Uros012 and many more all know who Clyuue is. But I guess you would have to be in #eSwitzerland to know that. Lanz I had no idea who you were until you first messaged me about Dills cabinet. I still don't really know much about you... But I am not going to judge you until I get to know you...
Calm down guys. Why is the misterious curtain being still held up? WHO WAS HE THEN?! You guys keep saying...oh he was someone before, he was a old head. WHO THEN? Educate us please?
Now I apologize if he really was an older player with a new account. The assumption of him being a multi then was wrongly done. But please be sure to let us know then who he was before, because otherwise it still seems mighty fishy.
In defense of me and Lan. Dan honestly what would you think if you see a fairly new player with not much XP looking very well informed about things that happened before his official date of arrival into this game? As Lan put it if it walks and looks like a duck and quacks like one, then there's a mighty strong possibility that it actually is a duck. Anyway if we were wrong I apologize on that note. I don't know you from the older Swiss days, but I don't have any negative thoughts/feelings about you, so in my book you seem cool.
ONLY REASON why this comment section has gone to a mess is because I politely asked to further explain with more specificity and then I was met with basically rude insults. I didn't have any ill feelings entering, but I won't tolerate being treated like crap. If you guys say something is wrong in the country then it is only justified that you bring out what it exactly is and what's causing it. Otherwise it is just mindless accusations.
Only one correction Clyuue is a she
My bad for not using both versions, but due to strong majority of eRep being males I've kinda gotten used to just using "he" xD.
But honestly if she really was a older player and a respected one at that, what was her name then? Of course it's everyone's right to not have to be tied to their history but in that case bringing history into play without giving the name is kind of wrong aswell.
