Just like we don't think Obama can spend years with Mr Wright and not adopt some radical views Sarah Palin must also hold secessionist views as she is married to a seven year member of the Alaskan Independence Party. The founder is famous for saying "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government," the party's late founder, gold miner Joe Vogler, once said. "And I won't be buried under their damn flag."
The thing is, it's not just residents of Alaska who favor breaking away from the Union. According to a Zogby poll conducted in July, more than 20% of U.S. adults -- one in five, about the same number of American Colonists who supported revolt against England in 1775 -- agreed that "any state or region has the right to peaceably secede from the United States and become an independent republic." Some 18% "would support a secessionist effort in my state."
This is not a hiccup of opinion. In an October 2006 poll conducted by the Opinion Research Corp. and broadcast on CNN, 71% of Americans agreed that "our system of government is broken and cannot be fixed."
"Whenever any form of government becomes destructive ... " wrote Thomas Jefferson, "it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government.... "
That time is now.
It is not a time for civil war or protest, it is time to take away the power of the Senators and Congressmen who scurry about Capitol Hill like little roaches on roach errands doing parrasites work.
It is a time to agree on a alternate form of trade and end the enslavement of taxation without representation.
