Just a few excerpts from his speeches:"Simultaneously with this political purification of our public life, the Government of the Reich will undertake a thorough moral purging of the body corporate of the nation. The entire educational system, the theater, the cinema, literature, the Press, and the wireless - all these will be used as means to this end and valued accordingly. They must all serve for the maintenance of the eternal values present in the essential character of our people. Art will always remain the expression and the reflection of the longings and the realities of an era. The neutral international attitude of aloofness is rapidly disappearing. Heroism is coming forward passionately and will in future shape and lead political destiny. It is the task of art to be the expression of this determining spirit of the age. Blood and race will once more become the source of artistic intuition.... "
"Great are the tasks of the national Government in the sphere of economic life."
"We want, too, to restore to the German intelligentsia the freedom of which it has been robbed by the system which has hitherto ruled. In parliamentarianism they did not possess this freedom. We want to liberate Germany from the fetters of an impossible parliamentary democracy - not because we are terrorists, not because we intend to gag the free spirit. On the contrary, the spirit has never had more violence done to it than when mere numbers made themselves its master. "
They don't really relate to the Democrats though.....or did I miss something...

How many speeches, made by US democrats have you listen to or watched. These few bits are dripping with US democratic party sentiment.That last sentence kinda seems dirty...
Hmm well...alright....actually I don't care...I dont like either one of the...but I don't really know their core values so....
The Issue
It's time for the government to hire a new religious advisor. Your people have narrowed down the candidates to:
The Debate
Catholic Archbishop Konrad O'Bannon: boasts an excellent track record, having rapidly increased church attendances in his constituencies through the "Reaching God Through Guilt" program. Seen as a solid choice.
New Age thinker Beth Longfellow: a left-field candidate with some radical ideas. "For me, it's not about the name of your religion. It's about discovering your spirituality in whatever guise that takes. Some people call that a cult: I call it taking spirituality to the people."
Finally, there's Hope McGuffin. "If I am awarded the appointment, I will immediately resign," the ex-schoolteacher has declared. "Because, frankly, God is a big load of hokey. I'll be doing everyone a favor by just shutting up about it."
(Choices, choices.)
hard one, and not a choice I'd take myself, since I couldn't care less personally.
Thing is if I had to make a choice I'd take a look at which religion most people in the communtiy practice.
If the large majority (70% and up) are devoted and practicing catholics the archbishop would be a good choice.
If there isa large majority of another faith or is there is no large majority in the community I'd take Beth

So, we see the three different choices represent the overly religious, the personally religious and the atheist.
If your country is a theocracy, then the choice is clear. Or, is cathoicism not fanatical enough for you?
I, personally, and seems to be the theme of this obvious and easily "won" game...would choose the second option.

Now, let me stress that this is a HYPOTHETICAL question. It's not really happening, but I was faced with a choice regarding this decision. Tell me your views on this.Issue:
Far-right-wing Nazi supporters plan to stage a rally in the city center tomorrow, giving voice to their violent, racist views.Argument A:
"Frankly, I'm appalled that the government can even consider allowing this travesty to go ahead," says prominent Jewish banker Charles Longfellow. "We can't let these animals broadcast their message of hate. Surely [we are] too civilized for that."Argument B:
"It's exactly because we're civilized that we must let the demonstration proceed," says free speech campaigner Lars McGuffin. "We may not like what they have to say, but in this society, people have the right to argue whatever political view they want, no matter how hateful, selfish, or stupid it is."I side with A. What do all of you think of this?
you choose argument A do you?
So what happens then the Goveerment ban political demos altogether would you like that? Banning Trade Unions next. Then Groups and Societies that spread messages that the goverment doesnt like (religions included) Do you Like all that?
If so Vote me I'd love to be the "Banner" in all that!
