Liberality For All - 8 issue mini series - Color

Synopsis:

America’s future has become an Orwellian nightmare of ultra-liberalism. Beginning with the Gore Presidency, the government has become increasingly dominated by liberal extremists.

In 2004, Muslim terrorists stopped viewing the weakened American government as a threat; instead they set their sights on their true enemies, vocal American conservatives. On one dark day, in 2006, many conservative voices were forever silenced by terrorist assassins. Those which survived joined forces and formed a powerful covert conservative organization called “The Freedom of Information League�, aka F.O.I.L.

The efforts of F.O.I.L. threaten both the liberal extremist power structure and the U.N.’s grip on America, the U.N. calls F.O.I.L. the most dangerous group in the world. It seems the once theorized Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has now become a reality.

The F.O.I.L. Organization is forced underground by the “Coulter Laws� of 2007; these hate speech legislations have made right-wing talk shows, and conservative-slanted media, illegal. Our weakened government has willingly handed the reins of our once great country to the corrupt United Nations. The Department of Political-Correctness is required to assist U.N. monitors to properly edit all print and broadcast media. Live broadcasts are a thing of the past; all transmissions are monitored by the U.N. and any ‘offensive’ material is dumped.

Rupert Murdoch’s decision to defy the “Coulter Laws� hate speech legislations, has bankrupted News Corporation. George Soros has bought all of News Corps assets and changed its name to Liberty International Broadcasting. LIB’s networks have flourished and circle the globe with a series of satellites beaming liberal & U.N. propaganda worldwide.

The New York City faction of F.O.I.L. is lead by Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North, each uniquely endowed with special abilities devised by a bio mechanical engineer affectionately nicknamed “Oscar�. F.O.I.L. is soon to be joined by a young man named Reagan McGee.

I thought it was all tongue-in-cheek. Is my irony-alarm yielding false positives?

I always giggle when I read right-wing people being terrified of the United Nations, and especially when they talk as though removing handguns from American homes is in any way remotely a priority of UN disarmament efforts, which tend to focus on things like landmines.

I don't think that it is unfair to say that if the UN metamorphasized into a global Federation then it would probably have rather strict gun control laws.

What I'd have to read it to find out is, is the target of their satire the right, or the left, or both

I don't think that it is unfair to say that if the UN metamorphasized into a global Federation then it would probably have rather strict gun control laws. I don't think that it is unfair to say that it is unlikely that this will happen, but not impossible, and that some people would like for it to happen. The big leap comes when some people believe that this metamorphosis has already occurred in secret and the UN is just waiting for the right time to make its move, which is obviously insane.

there's this:

and then there's something that's not even remotely safe for work so i will only mention it's name and not point at any links: VIVA FREEDOM
the first one is okay and i warned you about the second one *g*

Screw Single World governments. What we need is a Multi-World Government that will take all the guns away and abolish any trace of the free market, to the point where we don't even have money anymore. Then, it needs to tax us exorbitantly, and use the revenue to set up star bases and maintain a fleet of primarily scientific and exploratory vessels. Then, after some initial hostilities, we need to use diplomacy and humanitarian aid to end our conflict with the Klingons. This way, we get to see hot Shatner on Shatner manlove, where one of the Shatners is a shapeshifting alien played by David Bowie's girlfriend, and EVERYTHING WILL FINALLY MAKE SENSE.

Fixed that for you.

Ugh, I heard about this piece of crap years ago. It's not satirical, this jackass is a true believer; he posted on some comics boards a while back. Chelsea Clinton is the President, Michael Moore the VP, and as the story begins, they're organizing some kind of event to apologize to Osama Bin Laden for the "misunderstanding" that was 9/11. I don't even know if I'd call this actual cyberpunk...it's near-future dystopia, but just because one of your characters has a robot arm doesn't mean you've got a valid sub-theme of post/transhumanism in your work. This is probably the nadir of neo-conservative fiction...this, or that book Scooter Libby wrote about 14 year old Geisha trainees being raped by bears.

I can't believe someone honestly thinks Europe is culturally more homogenous than the US. /boggle.

What? They all use 9mm. Here in the US we use .45 ACP, .357 magnum, .380, and the list goes on and on...

I think my S&W M686 disagrees with you, as does my StgW90 in 5.6mm. Or my friends 10mm Auto, or his shotgun. Or the 7.6 mm rifles and assault rifles older shooters have.

Poor Chelsea Clinton. She's not even really a politician, but she got dragged into the silly graphic novel as being representative of a political position.

classic cyberpunk in and of itself isn't liberal. or conservative. it's realistic.

realistic in the sense that it acknowledges the fact that the world isn't black and white. it's shades of grey. Very Dark Grey, but grey none the less. everyone gets farked over equally, (in different ways) in cyberpunk.

There is the fact that every few weeks there is a story about one of the daughters getting drunk at one party or another. Or checking into rehab iirc. But really, people in the public spotlight should realize that they are in the public spotlight. Why people care about their personal lives is beyond me but it sells and that is really all that matters in the end.

Reporting on ACTUAL moronic behavior/crimes committed by the Bush twins is a far cry from Rush Limbaugh calling a teenager girl with no political aspirations "The White House dog". Rush Limbaugh is an irredeemable piece of shit. A pill-popping hypocrite who has the audacity to scream about the faults of everyone but himself.
