    Palin's ties to Alaska separatists

    Her connection to Alaska Separatists.

    Some things do matter. Sarah Palin has close ties to the Alaska Independence Party (AIP). Here is what the founder of the AIP said.

    From Wikipedia

    The Alaskan Independence Party quotes Vogler as stating "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions."

    Although it is debatable whether she ever "belonged" to the party, her support of them is not. Here is a recent speach that she taped for their convention.

    This is right up there with ties to the John Birch society or the Posse Comatatus (sorry don't remember correct spelling).
