You know there are a wealth of stories that come out whenever there is some sort of upheaval that the world fixates on…….we have heard all the “experts” that are saying “I told you so” because they mentioned Russia sometime in their political lives….only because they could not remember the name of any place else…..but they are now officially an expert.
Sorry, had to rant a bit…….
Remember back in 2012 or maybe a little back when there was this amazing petition for Texas to secede from the good old US? Or how abut the boy toy of a VP candidate that was the member of a party that wanted Alaska to secede?
Speaking of Alaska….there is so much more happening……..
Managing to get kicked out of the G8 apparently isn’t all that worrisome for at least 21,408 Americans. An anonymous Anchorage resident launched a petition on the White House’s “We the People” site Friday titled “Alaska back to Russia,” and that’s how many people have signed it as of this writing. As UPI notes, the petition needs 100,000 signatures by April 20 in order to get an official White House response. (Remember, though, when Texas petitioned to secede, signers did not get their way.)
Why should the US allow Alaska to secede and join Russia? As the petition explains, in what bears little resemblance to English: “Groups Siberian russians crossed the Isthmus (now the Bering Strait) 16-10 thousand years ago. Russian began to settle on the Arctic coast, Aleuts inhabited the Aleutian Archipelago. First visited Alaska August 21, 1732, members of the team boat ‘St. Gabriel »under the surveyor Gvozdev and assistant navigator I. Fedorov during the expedition Shestakov and DI Pavlutski 1729-1735 years.” Or, as KTUU puts it, the petition “cites historical evidence of previous visitors and claimants for ownership of the territory.” The US bought Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million in 1867.
Now I have to ask….are they serious? There is a wealth of mental midgets but this goes beyond the pale………
Oh so much more that I could say but most of it would be derogatory….so I will let the article stand for itself and just Ask……are they serious?
Secession today is the response of people who can’t work through issues. Compromise is not an option and they would rather run away from something than try to work within reasonable parameters.
It used to be the mindset for a small radicalized group but somehow it has festered like a cancer and grown over the years.
But it is Alaska….if it were not for the natural beauty…..I would say …you can go but only if Palin does also….
Only if they take the Palins with them….
My exact thought……damn great minds think alike…LOL
I thought about the same thing; Texas seceding and the Crimean vote to join Russian. Isn’t it wonderful that we have two standards here in the land of the free and home of the brave. One for us, and one for “them”. It’s kinda like doubling our standards.
Just think Palin will not only see Russia from her house but be there……a wonderful idea….me thinks….LOL
