TRAGEDY IN BOWLING GREEN New York Times, October 30, 2007 Ten people were killed and four more were injured when a gunman opened fire in the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. According to witnesses, the gunman, 20-year-old Omar Mateen, drew a pistol from his coat and fired for several minutes before exiting the museum. He was then pursued by police before being cornered and killed in a shootout. Mateen, who had recently moved to Bowling Green from Florida, had no prior criminal history save for a misdemeanor assault charge at age 14. Investigators are currently trying to determine his motive for the shooting. BOWLING GREEN SHOOTER PLANNED ATTACK WEEKS IN ADVANCE New York Times, November 3, 2007 Omar Mateen, the man responsible for the Bowling Green Massacre, had planned his attack weeks in advance according to FBI investigators. A search of Mateen's computer revealed that he had ordered a Glock 17 pistol four weeks before the shooting. Two days later, he had ordered a 33-round extended magazine. Said magazine is designed for the Glock 18 machine pistol made for special forces, but can also be used with civilian-model Glocks like the 17.
The Bowling Green massacre gave Santorum carte blanche to go forward with his solution to "the Muslim problem."
In the aftermath of the massacre, hate crimes against American Muslims spiked precipitously. Thus Santorum was able to herd Muslims into "protective centers" supposedly to keep them safe from the wrath of those who did not distinguish between ordinary Muslims and terrorists.
The reality, of course, was very different. The so-called protective centers were more like prisons, with conditions that would later be unfavorably compared to the treatment Japanese-Americans received during WW2.
While there was a large outcry, a sizable number of Americans accepted it as necessary to keep the country safe from terrorism.

AMERICA DOWNGRADED TO "PARTLY FREE" BY FREEDOM HOUSE
Reuters, January 1, 2008
In its annual Freedom in the World report, the NGO Freedom House has given the United States of America a rating of "Partly Free"-the first time America has received a such rating.
The report cites factors like the Seditious Media Act, the suppression of anti-government protests, and the disappearance or prosecution of several prominent critics of the Santorum administration as the reason behind the downgrade.

LAST US TROOPS LEAVE PAKISTAN
Reuters, February 29, 2008
Despite the protests of the Pakistani government in Peshawar, the US Army has completed its withdrawal from Pakistan.
The American forces leave behind a nation still ruined with Islamist insurgents still going strong.
The rest of the coalition forces have elected to stay, highlighting a growing divide between America and its allies.
"We have made great progress in Pakistan over the past few years, but now it's time to move on to more important theaters."
President Santorum, February 29, 2008
"Santorum's decision to abandon the nation that arguably needs us the most is pure callousness."

CHAVEZ STILL AT LARGE

Hugo Chavez, the deposed president of Venezuela, continues to elude capture despite intense efforts by the Americans to find him.
Rumors abound concerning the whereabouts of the deposed dictator. Some say he fled to Cuba, while others say he directs resistance to the Americans from a bunker in an undisclosed location.
The provisional government that replaced him continues to suffer from instability and corruption.
"Chavez can run, but he can't hide."
President Santorum, March 30, 2008
"Santorum is the only person in the world who could make me root for Hugo Chavez."

BILL TO "CURE HOMOSEXUALITY" INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS
Reuters, April 6, 2008
A bill has been introduced in the US Congress that seeks to "cure homosexuality."
The Treatment of Aberrant Sexuality Act, introduced by Congressman Lamar S. Smith (R-TX), defines attraction to the same sex as a "psychosis" and would make conversion therapy mandatory for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals.
The bill is the culmination of the deterioration of LGBT rights in Santorum's America. Under Santorum, multiple states have implemented discriminatory laws against LGBT people. In the past year, laws similar to TASA have been implemented in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi.
"If the US Congress is insane enough to pass this immoral law, I promise I will make sure it is not enforced in my state."
Florida Governor Charlie Crist on the Treatment of Aberrant Sexuality Act
MIRACLE LANDING IN FLORIDA KEYS
New York Times, April 8, 2008
A chartered corporate jet carrying Florida governor Charlie Crist was forced to ditch in the Gulf of Mexico after suffering a double engine failure.
The plane, a Cessna Citation CJ1, was carrying Crist, his fiancee Carole Rome, and three members of his security detail from Key West to Tallahassee when both of the engines died as the plane was climbing through 3,000 feet. The pilot, Jack Stager, was able to make a controlled ditching in the ocean. Everybody onboard was able to escape the plane before it sank with only minor injuries to Crist and a bodyguard.
The NTSB has dispatched a team to Key West to salvage the plane and discover the cause of the double engine failure.
Santorum was practically glowing with rage as he put the paper down. "I thought I told you to get rid of him!"
The agent shrugged. "You said to make it look accidental" he said. "I didn't expect them to have fucking Chuck Yeager in the pilot's seat."

TASA PASSES HOUSE
Wall Street Journal, April 27, 2008
The Treatment of Aberrant Sexuality Act has passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 300 to 135.
Congressman Barney Frank, one of two openly homosexual members of Congress, furiously denounced the law after the vote was over. He was subsequently forcibly removed from the building by Capitol security.
The removal and subsequent disappearance of Congressman Barney Frank ended once and for the thin veneer of democracy that Santorum had been trying to maintain. The administration spun it to say that Frank had suffered a "psychotic episode" and was receiving treatment at a "discreet location", but we all knew the truth-that Santorum was now so drunk with power that he was comfortable with arresting dissenting politicians in plain sight of the people.
Chris Hedges, Santorumstan: Life Under American Theocracy, 2012
Mr. Cramer, what is your opinion on the Treatment of Aberrant Sexuality Act?
"I think it's a blatant violation of the rights of millions of American citizens. While I am a Christian and I don't condone homosexuality, I don't think conversion therapy should be forced on anyone."
Bud Cramer, Nashville TN, April 27, 2008
"Bud Cramer claims to be a Christian, but he says gays shouldn't be "forced" to abandon their destructive lifestyles. Does he really think gays would willingly stop sinning? The truth is that they need a strong hand to push them in the right direction."
Trent Lott, April 28, 2008
ANTI-TASA PROTEST BROKEN UP VIOLENTLY
The Telegraph, April 28, 2008
A protest against the Treatment of Aberrant Sexuality Act in Washington DC turned violent, resulting in seven deaths and dozens of injuries.
According to the Washington DC police, the protestors became unruly and started destroying property and assaulting officers bystanders, forcing the police to open fire to make them stop.
An anonymous witness who came to this very paper tells a different story, however-claiming that no such violence took place and that the police were the aggressors.
According to the witness, the US government is censoring all evidence to the contrary of their narrative.

DC POLICE KILLED IN SHOOTOUT
Reuters, April 30, 2008
A shootout between Washington DC police and four masked gunmen at the MPDC HQ has resulted in the deaths of three police officers and two of the attackers.
A group calling itself the "Continental Army" has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The attack on the Washington DC police department was the first time the world would hear of the Continental Army.
Named for the army of the fledgling United States during the American Revolution, the Continental Army was an organization of Americans of all stripes, all united by their opposition to Santorum's tyranny. Just as the original Continental Army fought to free America from Britain, so the new one would fight to free America from Santorum.

And thus the first blow against the Santorum regime has been struck... and without doubt it will not be the last. With all that Frothy has done in the 3 years time he has been POTUS, it was only a matter of time before the American people (the sane people directly affected by his insane policies; Muslims, gays, liberals, etc.) came to the conclusion that Santorum is hell-bent on dismantling the United States' democracy, with the GOP willingly helping him do so, and thus Frothy and his followers have to be removed by force.
Of course Frothy, believing he's doing God's holy work, is not going to stand for this - nor will the more hardline of his followers in his cabinet and in congress - and is going to crack down hard on the Continental Army and any other rebel groups that rise up against the government, perhaps declaring martial law and suspending the Constitution for the duration of the crisis, which will end up turning even more of the American people against Frothy & Co. and drive them into the arms of the rebels, which will turn things even uglier.
And should proof of Santorum's illegal acts end up getting exposed to the public, including the murder of opposing politicians (which I strongly suspect will happen, judging from certain posts earlier in this tale), it will be game over for Frothy, his cabinet, and every one of the people who carried out his orders... if they're lucky, they'll just spend the rest of their lives in Federal prison, but if there's justice in this world the worst of them will end up being sentenced to death and executed - that is if they don't end up being killed by Continental Army rebels... shot or hanged from the nearest lampposts!
Here's to the Continental Army and all good Americans fighting for freedom against Frothy's regime! Down with the tyrant!

SANTORUM: This is just perfect. We've got another terrorist group on American soil. LOTT: This requires drastic measures. We have to start talking about gun control. SANTORUM: No way in hell. We are not going so low as to adopt liberal policies. LOTT: Having guns freely available for every Tom, Dick, and Harry may be a good idea in peacetime but not when there are domestic insurgents trying to overthrow the government. SANTORUM: You're seriously overestimating this so-called "Continental Army." They can't be anything more than a few angry college dropouts. By the time the election rolls around, they'll be as good as gone.

Famous last words indeed... Santorum is going to learn very soon that this is no group of angry college dropouts - it's an organization that encompasses young and old people from all points of the political spectrum, and if the Continental Army's attack on the Washington police HQ is indicative of how they're going to operate in the future, it means that they've given up hope of removing Frothy & Co. by either the ballot box or the jury box, and thus are now planning to do so by the bullet box! I wonder... just how many of these shootouts will occur before Santorum and the GOP begin to regret opposing all the gun control laws the Democrats have tried to pass all the years prior to this point? Even now, with a rebel army beginning it's ascendency, Frothy refuses to even consider any regulations on the American people's right to purchase and own firearms, regardless of what kind of people they are... he is truly a prisoner of his conservative ideology, and methinks he and his kind are going to have very real trouble on their hands very soon...

Wall Street Journal, May 4, 2008
The Treatment of Aberrant Sexuality Act has officially been signed into law by President Santorum.
In the days proceeding the act, millions of LGBT people have fled the country in an effort to avoid mandatory conversion therapy. Those that remain are reportedly already being rounded up by US Marshals.

Yeah, I predict that after this the Continental Army is going to start escalating in a big way due to a massive influx of new members. And if Frothy tries to crack down on that, be it by granting "emergency powers" to any of the alphabet soup agencies or other means, odds are very high that he winds up just making the situation worse due to overreacting. Which will drive even more people into the arms of the Continental Army.
