The Public White House: Constitutional Convention at FINAL VOTE!

[Hash]

Ooooh, he busts us across the face with a French Communist organization. That'll quiet the dissent

The RadSocs were communists? We learn something new every day!

Very astute, Hashemite, except that he wasn't talking about the Radical Socialists.

Except that he was talking about the Front populaire. The RadSocs were original members of the Front populaire.

Who came from the French Communists.

Oh, the RadSocs were an offspring of the PCF. I get it now. Thanks for your invaluable insight and knowledge into French politics!

I see fairness, balance, and respectfulness weren't on the list of criteria when you were deciding who to appoint.

I chose those who I believed would be competent. I chose those who I knew would be active. I did not take ideology or personality into account because that has nothing to do with how I plan to run my administration. I think the number of Atlasian political parties represented in the Cabinet can attest to that.

If all people focus on is personality contests and false ideological lines in the sand, this game is doomed. We need reform and we need it now. My administration has no time for ego trips and left/right debates.

Mr President Spectator and Society; you have nominated a noted forum apologist for Maoism and the extreme left (and it's excesses) for the post of SoIA. Would you ever be willing in the future to nominate a Falangist or apologist of the extreme right for a similar role if they were proven to be competent?

As a matter of fact yes. I considered NCY for a Cabinet post, but he made clear that he would prefer to maintain the RPP presence in the Senate, rather than join my administration.

Honestly, my nominees should not be judged on their ideologies because that is not what they will be doing very much with. My administration will be all game reform, all legitimacy of the Executive, and all activity and competence. I don't plan on jumping into the fray on divisive ideological issues; you all can do those once I'm gone.

PS, I would not consider NYC to be 'far right' or remotely Falangist, so I'm not sure what you think I meant when I said would you nominate someone of the 'far right'; if it helps any better think of the other 'f' ideology (rather than Falangist)

NCY has definitely had his moments. I distinctly remember one reelection rant announcement that drew a hefty bit of criticism.

Anyway, I mention NCY to show that I do look across the spectrum and base my picks based on competence, activity and trust. I should also note that while I may appoint people with strong personal ideologies, those won't be playing a role in my government.

[Purple State]

A quick note. I've changed the thread title to reflect its current uses. I plan to keep this thread open and active throughout my administration to make sure that I am hearing from everyone and not just those brave enough to wander into the White House thread over on the Government board.

     NC Yankee has been pretty right-wing at times, but not in a manner that could really be construed as fascist. To be honest, I do not really think there is anybody on the forum who is genuinely a fascist. In that case, an obvious defense is that there simply isn't a potential nominee that is as far to the right as Winston is to the left.

I wonder what fried DAer tastes like? Or perhaps barbecue would be more fiting? Don't think fear of MB ascending will prevent me from extracting my vengence either. NO ONE IS SAFE!!!!

Its really a perverse desire on my part that makes such semi-fascist statements/rants come out. I can sense where the boundaries of reason are and I used to intentionally stay within them while I was maintaining North Carolina Yankee as separate entity but when that broke down last year, my true qualities came forth one of which is this sick infatuation for pushing beyond the boundaries of sanity in my comments.

     Well it is not uncommon for people to experience pleasure in acting in ways contrary to the dictates of proper society. It's the sort of rebel factor, the ability to say & do what others only dare to think. There is a great deal of music made across all genres & across the world that glorify the outlaw.

No, don't even try to wrap yourself around this administration like that, as you're the only Nay vote I'm decided on at this point. Not one of Purple State's appointments is even remotely similar to me ideologically, but you're the only one who's gone out of his way to convince me to vote against you. 

Your inability to maturely address and respond to valid comments and criticism, summed up by your "gtfo" comment, was the straw that broke the camel's back. Pretending that your idolization of murderous dictators should just be a non-issue is absurd.
