Sarah and Todd Palin are Reminiscent of the Confederate South

They didn't always call it such a euphemistic name, but I have lived with this brand of 'conservatism' all my life. We'll call it the blame the US Government crowd.

In the 3rd grade in Dublin Georgia, we were regularly called out to the assembly hall and given New Testaments (my wife and I both still have ours) and a long list of the Same Old Testaments that you get from people like Sarah Palin.

You see, the USA is controlled by communist liberal God-Haters. The John Birch Society has it right except they are too left-wing. We're planning on succeeding. The South Didn't Really Lose the War -- we're just laying low 'till times are more amiable to 'us'.

Snicker Snicker -- black people (I can't tell you where the black people in Dublin Georgia were in those days, but they weren't at my elementary school as I remember it. I did find nice 'colored' water fountains behind my Grandfather's butcher shop. I found out later that my great-grandfather had a long-term affair with his black concubine and fathered several children by her. Most of the black people they complained about in Dublin were relatives -- either mine or the complainer's).

The true form of government that was intended by God is FULL-CONTROL by those who are closest to Jesus (we'll let you know who they are) -- and when we take back over, we will take 'our' resources and leave this US travesty which has made us speak nicely of people in other countries, taken our money and property and given it to the inferior wretches elsewhere because the 'bed-wetting-liberals' and the 'money-throwing Democrats' make you take your hard-earned money and give it away to the ... well, you know.

There were two 'church ladies' in Dublin who used to come to the house and preach. Usually the subject was "we didn't see you at the social", and "Are you and your husband having trouble? We noticed you haven't been tithing as much as you were back when ... "

These ladies, in concert with one of my uncles, once violently explained to my grandmother that she was going to Hell due to a failure to appear at some Wednesday night thing. Another problem was my gay uncle -- I'm not sure what they wanted her to do about him. He was "sent away" to Rollins College in Florida.

In my family, the man with the most vehement 'conservative' values was my aunt's husband, MP. I remember Uncle MP standing at the door with his arm up pointing and telling my Grandmother (not his relative by the way), who was trying to escape up the stairs crying, that she was sliding to the fires of hell. This is the same guy who held me face down in my father's coffin after I said that I fully well understood that Dad was dead and I didn't want to sit next to his body at the funeral. MP was a good, God-Fearing man.

As it turns out, the church ladies were lesbian lovers. Their church-leading husbands were likewise a gay couple. They had a sweet little gig. They used their pull as moral leaders to cower anyone who got close to the truth. Apparently, gay marriage would have just queered the deal so to speak. It all came out -- a misstep here and a little slip there, and the truth was pretty well all over town. One word in the Moose Lodge and you're ruined.

The main problem with the US Government, according to the people in Dublin Georgia, was that it exists. You have to pay it taxes. It meddles in your affairs. Like if you don't want to pay that black 'maid' any thing past your three dollars a day, or mention all your 'employees' to the government.

And that UN. That was when the country lost its way down a black hole, according to the Dublinites. Get US Out of the UN -- paid for by the John Birch Society. Here. Let's go shoot some guns. Thank GOD we still have them.

It all sounds like the same old ringing bell to a 55-year-old from south Georgia and I am profoundly tired of it.

Sarah and Todd Palin have been members of a radical anti-USA Alaska-secessionist organization called the Alaska Independence Party (AIP) for nearly a decade. The creator of the AIP advocates using terror -- yes, using explosives if desired, attacking US institutions if necessary. Todd and Sarah say they have pulled out. But Sarah Palin taped a statement to be used in the 2008 convention for the Alaska Independence Party.


If you want to know what the AIP is about, go to their web site. The Alaska Independence Party creator's messages were still up at this writing. His intent was either to succeed from the US or remove the US from interference.

Or you can just re-read above. Same old testament.

Sarah and Todd Palin sound just like the nicest people in Dublin. Down right likable. Most of the time.


Here's a little reading for you from this article:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s article about the Palins' association with the AIP.

AIP's charter commits the party "to the ultimate independence of Alaska," from the United States which it refers to as "the colonial bureaucracy in Washington." It proclaims Alaska's 1959 induction as a state "as illegal and in violation of the United Nations charter and international law."

AIP's creation was inspired by the rabidly violent anti-Americanism of its founding father Joe Vogler, "I'm an Alaskan, not an American," reads a favorite Vogler quote on AIP's current website, "I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." According to Vogler AIP's central purpose was to drive Alaska's secession from the United States. Alaska, says current Chairwoman Lynette Clark, "should be an independent nation."

Vogler was murdered in 1993 during an illegal sale of plastic explosives that went bad. The prior year, he had renounced his allegiance to the United States explaining that, "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government." He cursed the stars and stripes, promising, "I won't be buried under their damned flag...when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home." Palin has never denounced Vogler or his detestable anti-Americanism.

Palin's husband Todd remained an AIP party member from 1995 to 2002. Sarah can be described in McCarthy-era palaver as a "fellow traveler." While retaining her Republican registration, she attended the AIP's 1994 convention where the party called for a draft constitution to secede from the United States and create an independent nation of Alaska. The McCain Campaign has reluctantly acknowledged that she also attended AIP's 2000 Convention. She apparently found the experience so inspiring that she agreed to give a keynote address at the AIP's 2006 convention and she recorded a video greeting for this year's 2008 convention. In other words, this is not something that happened when she was eight!
