I'm sorry, but you cannot make me care that Sarah Palin might have been a part of the secessionist Alaskan Independence Party (the news account is here). So what? I hope she does have something to do with them; it makes me think that she might have more sympathy for balancing the federalist equation on the side of the states.
If she were for Southern secession, that would be something entirely different, inasmuch as we actually fought a war over Southern secession, and Southern secession is typically a front for ugly racist views. But Alaska secession? Please. Unless the polar bears are taking up arms, who gives a rat's rear end? What's the Yupik phrase for ho-freaking-hum?
UPDATE: According to voter registration records, Sarah Palin has never been a member of the AIP. She only addressed its convention by video -- not even in person. Like I said: Big whoop.

Did anyone see the interview from July 31, 2008 where they ask her about being McCain's VP? She clearly said she would only run IF it would help Alaska. She did not say if I could help the U.S. That is VERY troubling to me.
I'm sure there's footage of the eight year old Obama helping out on a heist from the sixties, you just have to dig for it.
The key difference between shoveling that line at Democrats of 2000, and those voting in 2008 would be thinking any one of us believes the GOP and their allies won't throw the kitchen sink at Obama or anyone else.
Palin addressed the AIP by video this year and their attitude about Alaska's place in the union is quite clearly stated on their website.
Member of no, she supports them. Today.
What? Are you kidding me? THIS is not an issue! It just goes to show again how ignorant and hypocritical the Repugnant Party (oops, I meant Republican Party) is in its continued demonization of everyone except themselves. How can this not be an issue? How anti-American is this? Come on people! Stop avoiding the truth, and address the real issues anyway! It is alright to yell that Obama is a Muslim! It is alright to complain about his pastor, and even here, it is alright to comment about his connections with Bill Ayers. However, when these types of things appear on the other side of the fence they are now deemed irrelevant???? Talk about a double standard! Are you kidding me? Are you that shallow and self-embellished that you can not see the huge beam that exists in your own eye?
Honestly the South had a right to secede, just not to secede over slavery, and it could be argued with a straight face the slavery would have ended with out having to fight that terrible Civil War. And I can say as having lived as a Minority.
Norm Olson is a member of AIP and so was Todd Palin -- Sarah supports them still, full knowing they hate America, our laws and our flag. Timothy Mcveigh was trained by Norm Olson while he was a member of his Michigan Militia. that is the problem. what planet do you live on that would make that a non issue? She pals around with terrorist while pointing the finger at someone that doesn't. Timothy McViegh blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City killing 168 people, including 20 children. Which he felt was the act of civil war against the federal government. Because groups like AIP and Norm Olson supported his beliefs and trained him. Norman Olson is in the woods of Alaska training more men and is a member of AIP.
