Palin Promotes The Secession Of Alaska

This has bounced around a little bit, but I think it's actually one of the more interesting facts about Sarah Palin.

Her husband, first-dude, Todd, was a registered member of the Alaskan Independence Party from 1995 to 2002. If you aren't familiar with the AIP, it basically hates America and everything America stands for and they want nothing to do with her.

Goals of the AIP:

Until we as Alaskans receive our Ultimate Goal, the AIP will continue to strive to make Alaska a better place to live with less government interference in our everyday lives.

The Alaskan Independence Party's goal is the vote we were entitled to in 1958, one choice from among the following four alternatives:

1) Remain a Territory.

2) Become a separate and Independent Nation.

3) Accept Commonwealth status.

4) Become a State.

The call for this vote is in furtherance of the dream of the Alaskan Independence Party's founding father, Joe Vogler, which was for Alaskans to achieve independence under a minimal government, fully responsive to the people, promoting a peaceful and lawful means of resolving differences.

Says Joe Vogler (who was murdered in 1993):

"You get to think why the hell do I owe them anything and then you get mad; and you say to hell with them; and you renounce allegiance; and you pledge your efforts, your effects, your honor, your life, to Alaska; that is how I do it; I am an Alaskan; they know it; I've told them to go to hell in every way I can in a nice way; I took a case to the Supreme Court believing in the Supreme Court, but I'd rather be tried in a whorehouse with the madam as the Judge; there is more Justice in a whorehouse than in the Supreme Court; and if they don't like it they know where they can go; ..... and if you think I am ever going to forget that, the fires of Hell are glaciers compared to my hate for the American Government, and I won't be buried under their damn flag; I'll be buried in Dawson and when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones back to Alaska, back to my country."

Chilling.

That last part - where Sarah addresses the AIP convention? That was just this year.

"I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." - Joe Vogler

Yeah - I don't even know how to end this post. I'm just going to go sit in a corner and suck my thumb.
