American Liberation
12-11-2007, 21:31
A crowd cheers as the television screen zooms in on a podium covered with a flag, it is a black flag with a skull grasping two revolvers.
An unseen voice of a female reporter is heard, "The flag of the Armed Republic, some say it is a mockery of the American President calling the Armed Republic a nation of 'terrorists and pirates.'
Another unseen voice is heard, this one male; "Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand for the newly elected president of the Armed Republic of American Liberation, Colman Murphy."
The crowd roars in reply to the introduction of the president, Murphy is shown walking to the podium, shaking the hands of various individuals and smiling.
The reporter's voice is again heard, "Colman Murphy, often labeled as a crazy gun nut, and a conservative extremist; is known for carrying a large caliber handgun, signifying his undying support for his country's new first amendment, which is rumored to closely resemble the United States' second amendment. The entire Armed republic Bill of rights is based upon it's predisessor."
Murphy is a comparitavely young man, looking to be somewhere in his late twenties or early thirdies. He isn't wearing the normal garb of a politician, instead wearing a green shirt and matching cargo jeans. The camera zooms in on the revolver in the holster at his hip.
The reporter continues, "President Murphy carries a .44 Magnum revolver, which he says is just as much a political statement as a means of personal protection; which is why he chose such a large caliber. Instead of denying the labels his political rivals gave him, he embraced them and won the political election by a landslide."
President Murphy steps up to the stadium, his hair is buzzed down and has a short goatee on his chin. He puffs away at a cigar and smiles as he waits for the cheering to end, then begins reading from the notecard in his hand, "We the people of the Armed Republic of American Liberation, being a people who have felt long oppressed by American Government; have withdrew our people, our posessions, and our citizenry from the United States of America.
