(And it's good to know that Todd is no longer a member. Like I said before, I thought it was odd that he would be a member of the AIP, while she wants to govern the country that the AIP may want to secede from.)

Well, I'm not saying that I wish that Alaska would have seceded--I'm saying that I wish that the panhandle would have seceded from the Territory and becaome a state in it's own right apart from the rest of Alaska. But I don't wish it with any great intensity. My reason is mostly because the panhandle tends to have bluer pastures than the rest of the state.


From what I recall, Todd Palin was a member of the AIP for a year or two; went to one meeting in Wasilla that they held, and soon reregistered as an Independent. I believe that this was around the first of the decade.

The members of the AIP want a re-vote, to determine whether or not the majority of Alaskans want to be a 1)territory, 2)separate and independent nation, 3)commonwealth, or 4)state. So, obviously, a "separate and independent nation" status is being actively pursued by some members.
Still spewing your liberal lies I see. Wanting a vote on what was originally promised in 1958 is not advocating secession any more than they are advocating any of the other three possibilities, including statehood. To take that one option and consider it to be the entire Alaska Independence Party platform is a flat out lie, and something I have come to expect from dishonorable liberal freaks. Thanks for not disappointing me.

Well, I guess that's why I didn't "take that one option and consider it to be the entire Alaska Independence Party platform" as you so ignorantly and erroneously suggest. If you actually took the time to read my post, I said "many of the members" and "to determine whether or not the majority of Alaskans" and "some members" and "Maybe not all, but some." Literally, those are the exact words I used. I never once even came close to implying that secession is the entire platform of every member of the party.

It's quite obvious that you are so blinded by hate and ignorance that you didn't read (or, more likely, couldn't comprehend) my post. I used the terms "most" and "majority" and "some." Never did I say "all" or "entire" or "every" as you so ignorantly suggest. Never did I tell a single lie. Never did I misrepresent the intentions and goals of the AIP.

Through your own posts, you have proven your complete ignorance of both the subject being discussed, as well as basic reading and comprehension skills. IMO, you had very little credibility on this forum to begin with, but you have just removed any credibility you may have still clung to. Grow up and learn to read. Then, come back and join in the adult discussion.

Here's my thread that you so ignorantly mis-represented:

The members of the AIP want a re-vote, to determine whether or not the majority of Alaskans want to be a 1)territory, 2)separate and independent nation, 3)commonwealth, or 4)state. So, obviously, a "separate and independent nation" status is being actively pursued by some members. Maybe not all, but some. Otherwise, if no one wanted that possibility, they would not actively want a re-vote which could result in Alaska becoming a separate and independent nation. That's all I was proving to Glitch. I wasn't saying that the AIP *only* wants to secede, but it is certainly actively pursued by at least some of the members. So, I was proving Glitch wrong, using his own link.

By the way, I have no problem with Alaska seceding, if that's what its people choose to do. Doesn't bother me in the least. I just think it's odd that someone wants to be VP or P of a country, when her husband is a member of a party that is actively pursuing a vote that may result in secession from said country. Just seems odd to me.
