Author's Note:
This short story is not meant to mudsling any particular political party, but rather, to illustrate what could be a fictional future world. This also does not mean that I am anti-liberals, Muslim, or homosexual nor am I a masochist. I AM liberal and have friends who are Muslim and homosexual. I've put it in this forum and not the Non-Alias Fiction forum, because it will become very gruesome. That's the reality of war.
Prologue
Since the year 2005, many things have happened around the world and in the United States. The biggest shock since 9/11 hit the United States shortly after the Congressional elections of 2006 not because the Republicans held even more of a majority in both the Senate and House, but because of the reinstatement of the draft. All males and females from 18-27 years of age must serve for at least two years in the military as American troops became scarce in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries around the world.
In the following presidential election, the United States faced another surprise when she witnessed the first female president and female vice president. Most political analysts never would have guessed that Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi would run together let alone win (but barely), but the weak Democratic Party needed to pull out something extraordinary to stay alive. It worked. At least it worked for a while. Clinton and Pelosi tried to sweep America with a new wave of liberalism as they tackled the hopeless socialist system of Social Security. However, this new wave of liberalism came too late. Many Americans did not want to have their usually conservative lifestyles rocked by these dominatrices. A year after her inauguration, America’s first female president was shot and killed when she was visiting the victims in Northern California after a 6.9 earthquake rocked the Bay Area. At 70 years old, Vice President Pelosi became the oldest person to be inaugurated as an American president aboard Air Force One. The image reminded the elderly of what happened in 1963 after America lost one of her greatest presidents.
To say that President Pelosi did a great job would be an outright lie. The late President Clinton’s dream was to expand women’s rights and fix the age old problem of Social Security that the Bush Administration was trying to fix back in 2004. These issues are what Pelosi focused on. The following year, after a couple years of economic growth, the American economy tanked even further as federal spending defaulted on public debt. With absolutely no support in Congress due to a small contingency of Democrats left, Pelosi could not fix Social Security, the economy, or the morale of Americans.
Needless to say, she did not run for re-election in 2012 and the Democrats candidate would have made John Kerry from the 2004 elections look like a brilliant choice. The Republican candidate, John Benedict Rossi, seemed like the perfect candidate. Even his fiery red hair toted the party color. He was charismatic, able to gain the support of America’s youth. He vowed to kill Social Security, bring back the traditional American lifestyle, and lead this country to a better economy. With the electoral votes of every state besides Massachusetts, Rossi won by a landslide. He accomplished the first two, but the economy became even worse and America fell into The Great Depreciation, which still plagues the nation today.
Last year, the results of the Congressional elections showed that Congress is now in complete control of Republicans. This could be the turning point for America.
For BBC News, this is John Murray. Thank you for joining us for this special report. Now we go back to live coverage in Washington DC where both houses of Congress have approved to grant President Rossi with emergency powers and effectively widening his authority as the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful nation in the world.
