Liberality for All : "FINALLY, A CONSERVATIVE COMIC BOOK!"

Wonkette described this best:

Isn't usually the prerogative of the disenfranchised to invent elaborate dystopian fantasies of what will happen under the rule of the oppressor? Exactly what part of the Bush "I'm-gonna-appoint- whomever-I-want-so- whaddya-gonna-do-about-it-nah-nanny-nah-nah" Presidency is so unsatisfying that conservatives would need to engage in this particular fantasy?

LIBERALITY FOR ALL #1 It is 2021, tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of 9/11 It is up to an underground group of bio-mechanically enhanced conservatives led by Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North to thwart Ambassador Usama Bin Laden's plans to nuke New York City...And wake the world from an Orwellian nightmare of United Nations dominated ultra-liberalism.

i really have trouble believing this

Wait, Hannity's not a criminal, is he?

Should replace him with Karl Rove.

Two decades of negotiation with the U.N., and America’s administration of 2021 (President Chelsea Clinton and Vice President Michael Moore), has culminated in a truce with fundamentalist Islamic terrorists, or so America is told.

this is the most ludicrous thing i've ever heard read. since when would michael moore accept only a VP spot?

Coming Soon: FEB 06

Outcast is a masterful merger of theological supposition, science and fantasy, with a tragic romance that can never be… and should have never begun.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Dreygan found that out the hard way. During the war in heaven, Dreygan found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and like the fallen, he too became an Outcast.

In hell, he was transformed into Dreyganous, a hideously strong creature with an innocent heart and an instinct for both protection and vengeance. There he found purpose in defending a victimized succubus named Exxxstaci and, in doing so, caused her to fall in love with him. Dreygan's innocence infected her like a disease; but to her, it is the purest of love.

In this life, he knows himself as Dreygan Loss, a 36-year-old introvert who is beginning to feel the emerging memories of many past lives. But to the astute para-historian, he is the unwilling vessel for the legendary Inculpates Diabolus (the innocent devil), who is ultimately responsible for the end of all humanity or, conversely, its salvation.

While Exxxstaci seeks to rekindle their love, Dreygan seeks the truth of his past and future and has the will and strength to prevent the destruction of both himself and humanity; he only lacks the faith that dwells within him. Reaching within his soul for that faith, he must take care not to awaken the demon that lives there.

HAHAHAHA WTF, is it 1996 again?

Oh, but you can't get enough of this.

Wow, Hannity's like Osama in the comic -- he's in hiding. And apparently France has taken over America. "Sacre bleu, he's just up the Rue!"

I heard part of his radio show the other day and he dragged out the most tired little sound clip bit where was pretending to interview Ted Kennedy and making all kinds of references to alcohol and drowning. Such poor poor taste.

Sean Hannity: Terrorists failed in their attempt to assassinate him, but succeeded in strengthening his resolve to free America from the tyrannical heal of U.N. empowered liberalism. (Not equipped here with his B.T.A.- Bionic Transmission Arm, which turns him into a one man mobile studio). He is the public voice of FOIL.

Reagan McGee: Reagan (the son of a NYC firefighter born on 9/11) is about to leave his “Patriot”ic gang and fulfill his destiny as the youngest member of FOIL.

G. Gordon Liddy: Bio-genetically enhanced speed and reaction are almost a match for his “will” power. He is the groups liaison to the covert conservative underworld.

Marty: By far the toughest member of the group, he is a cross between American Bulldog and Junk-yard dog; but is a pure breed patriot.

Oscar: His entire family lost due to a terrorist bombing, has sworn to use his Bio mechanical genius to aid FOIL in the battle against liberal extremists suppression & U.N. domination.

or maybe a jab at televised lefty president Martin Sheen.

It does, and to answer Wonkette's question, the reason it looms large is because it's a big part of what holds the whole structure up. Some smart bastard figured out that being victimized is unnecessary as long as people believe they're being victimized.

exactly. as a comment at Slacktivist put it:

The glamorization of "persecution" is a component--and a vital one--of the culture "wars". It allows a participant to view himself (or herself) as a "soldier" carrying out God's work--and losing.

This is the important part.

If you're losing your struggle, you get to break the rules, cheat, lie, do anything to win. Winners have to play fair, but if you can somehow twist things so you become oppressed, you are granted moral license to do, well, anything.

It's the glow of martyrship without the ickiness of actually being martyred.

And that feeling, that shock of indignation, that swell of righteous anger: it's addictive. It's a sure-fire hit on the crackpipe of certainty. It's why all fanatics sound the same--their leaders all use the same tools.

...but they FORGOT POLAND! WHO PULLED OUT OF THE COALITION OF THE WILLING, YOU COCKSUCKERS, HUH?

Although, I do like the reverse idea: A future society where all citizens must live under the strict "moral values" guidelines and forcefully attend church. Where the rich live without taxes and the poor and middle class must pay more, and gays, Muslims and rebellious young girls are sent to "detainment" camps. The bio-enhanced Joe Franken, Natalie Moore and Chelsea Clinton, led by Paul Hackett and Ed Schultz, must lead the revolution. I'd call it... Liberty for None! It'd be great!

that synopsis of Liberality is amazingly bonkers...it's so wierd how much the ruling class has convinced themselves they're actually being oppressed....historians are going look back at this time like WTF.....I thought the parts that talked about how central the persecution complex and cultivation of perpetual outrage is to the conservative movt was the best part of "What's the Matter With Kansas?", great book.

In the last few days, since the thread on "Liberality for all" I have been pondering a number of seperate, yet to me, related issues affecting the comic industry in the USA. Among these are the long term trend of declining sales among mainstream comics, the ideologicall monopoly that liberals hold on the comics industry on the creative side, and the severe lack of credible, and more to the point admirable comics characters with a more conservative outlook. While I don't subscribe to the idea of a "vast leftwing conspiracy" in comics it is impossible to deny that most of those involved in the business of comics on the creative side are firmly and proudly liberal, and that while for the most part, politics comes up only tangentially in comics most Superheroes do seem to be of a liberal mindset.

I think that in the interest of honesty, we must at least examine the idea that perhaps the overwhelming presence of more liberal creators, when contrasted with the fact that the majority of Americans fall slightly more to the right of the political spectrum than left may be in some way related to the long term trend of declining sales. While I agree that it is possible this may in fact be irrelevant, (afterall the overwhelming liberality of Hollywood has not hurt thier growth that much if at all) I belive that as fans of an industry would could in some repects be accurately considered to be in a long decline demands that we at the least address it...

It's worth reading in full. He hits all the great points about how poverty is the fault of the poor, how Alan Moore's dislike of Thatcher is bad, etc.

OK DUDEZ, TALK ABOUT A MARTYR COMPLEX:

One thing I didn't notice at the time was how much this was infected with 90s Comics Syndrome:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ComicBook/LiberalityForAll?from=Main.LiberalityForAll

Basically one long super-conservative Author Tract which posits the idea that the UN and Democrats want to put terrorists in charge of the United States. And that only a superhero team made up of a Fox News talk show host and two conservative talk-radio hosts/convicted felons — all with Cyborg Artificial Limbs — can save us all.
