Is there no stopping in the White Zone or can it be used for immediate loading and unloading of passengers?

To avoid confusion with certain racist groups, would you consider renaming it the White _Hat_ Party?

I’ll be at the other gay white party. They’re a lot more fun, and the odds of my getting laid sound better, too.

The White Zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the Red Zone.

I assume the White Party will have some sort of flag that symbolizes your perseverance and will to never give up?

Of course the \*serious \* questions are who would the White party most likely pick as FAA Agency Executive, and who would the party nominate for Central Scrutinizer?

And don’t call me Shirley.

Hello, my name is Chief Michael Airic White Sr. I was born in April of 1977, to two wonderful but imperfect parents who I will not mention by name. I want to tell you about my dream of a better America. An America where a police state does not exist but is refined by the fires of resolve. An institution of police where people are held accountable for their actions and adjudication and an institution that does not tolerate lack of self control. An America were no one goes without or without saying. An America were we acknowledge that all men and women weren’t created equal but we do the best we can to get along. An America where to the effect of law and ethos reign supreme in the trial and judgment of all mankind. If we all decide to embrace the feelings of our President on which he ran on (Hope and Change) we can see ourselves straight through any doorway we see fit. Now seeing fit is where we always disagree, but what we are still lacking is the finishing touches to our current President’s dream. You see dreaming and actualizing is a two part process not to be left in the hands and responsibilities of only one man. America’s people speak from two sides of their mouths and it is even so in the most popular of media. They blame the President’s choices because they believe in their minds that the economy is the responsibility of one man while at the same time they complain that government is too large and many liberties are being foregone. The problem if we follow this line of thinking is either one of two things; An unbalanced private sector or and an unbalanced government. If the business law theory that states that the private sector should and would provide for itself in the absence of government were true we wouldn’t need government, but this is not the way the system is. Don’t get me wrong, systems can be changed and that is my message point blank. The elderly and their old ways of thinking are getting in the way of change - as I don’t know of any extremely young republicans who are running for president. This can all be done by swallowing in whole pieces inflation and all talk of not raising the minimum wage and the debt ceiling both. Yes we always need to cut where we can but in my opinion to listen to what is current on saving money is preposterous to think of. Asking for but not offering a compromise.

What I stand for is freedom and liberty. I stand by the constitution having sworn to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic. There is only one sector of people who take such vows and they are federal servants of defense. There are no civil authorities that are sworn to uphold the constitution except Judges, but this is not enough for me. The judicial system from the BAR to the trials or plea bargains that are made is corrupt. In a perfect society Medicine and Law would be provided by the Federal government and the State governments working together like a fine piece of woven material. So that every individual regardless of social class and available funds receive exactly the same treatment. (Ethos and Ethics 102). All Doctors and Attorneys would work at a cost efficient to society; Insurance comes from the one who guarantees it. More to Foley and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate him on being a sniper. Last I heard he was overseas popping heads.

Shows what you know. Look up 5 USC 3331: everyone in the civil and foreign service takes an oath to the Constitution. You seem to be saying that “servants of defense” are better than anyone else. Well, what makes you so special? Because of some oath? That civil servants take, too? What about people in the private sector? Are they somehow below you, or love this country any less, because they didn’t say a few words?

Let’s get this straight: the biggest traitors I can think of – Robert Hanssen, Jonathan Pollard, you name them – they took that oath, too.

Uhhhhh… Well, congratulations to Foley, and remember: Foley doesn’t need to lead women and children as much.

Also, why did your parents name you Chief? Finally, what class, what team?

I don’t think fitting thru doorways is so much what the current President is worrying about as what the current First Lady is [worrying about](http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/weightloss/2010-01-20-michelle-obama-obesity_N.htm).

I’m pretty sure there’s a Constitutional requirement that they be over 35 - how young were you expecting?

Obama himself turns 50 next month, so he’s no spring chicken either.

I don’t understand this part - what exactly are we swallowing?

The Rainbow Party would probably be more relevant to your cause, but considering the [NSFW conotations](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rainbow+party)\*, it’s probably a bad idea.

I meant to include these offices in my little speel. The office of the president while some may see it as a public office I see the office as the Commander and Chief of the Armed Services so I guess it seems military to me by nature since I was at one time under this offices authority. As far as forgetting to include the Senate and House. They take the same oath as a defense department member give or take. So I guess I misspoke. My apologies/

**chiefwhitesr** , most of what you are saying is really not political. Please explain your political goals and how you expect to achieve them. Otherwise I’ll probably close this.
