Sarah
the Palin and Alaska's
First Dude, Todd
have had some mysterious and radical skeletons in their own
closet.
Some acquaintances and "pals" in the not-too-distant past.
Why don't people ask about that?
I wonder.
There is a reason certain people go away to live up in Alaska.
Part of it is the pioneer spirit, of course.
Alaska is the Last Frontier, state-wise.
Part of it is that they just don't like any of us down here in the "Lower 48".
Just that type of reference about us separates them from us mentally and emotionally as much as hundreds of miles of Canadadian timber wood does.
This is as far as you can run away from America and still be under it's protective wing.
Where the air of the Wild Wild West still lingers and where you can build your own log cabin with an axe and snark out "to hell with the rest o' them"
Nope. They just don't like us flat landers and city slickers.
They want to be professional outsiders instead.
Some of them even wanted to break away from the union.
Did not even want to be part of the United States of America anymore.
Some of them.
The Alaskan Independence Party called for the separation from the United States.
Their leader Joe Vogler is famous for saying:
"I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America and her damned istitutions"
He also said this inflammatory curse:
"The fires of Hell are glaciers compared to my hate of the American government and I won't be buried under her damn flag!"
As well as suggesting the glaciers along the Alaskan coast should be "nuked".
This was Todd Palin's mentor and "Pal" and why he was a member of the A.I.P.
Sarah was a sympathiser.
They are tough, though.
To live in the biting bitter cold of a seemingly unending dark winter there must be the test you must pass in order to stay.
Sunlight deprivation has sometimes serious emotional consequences for some.
Makes 'em kinda nutty...
