Most of us dismissed the reports that Sarah Palin was part of a group that wanted to secede from the United States. We understood that she wasn’t actually a member of the party, just, perhaps a close associate of it. Just because a member of your family belongs to something doesn’t mean you do.
But there are other things too. Most recently, the odd statement by her pastor calling down god’s wrath “.. on Alaska.. and on the United States”.
I understand sometimes we can say things we don’t mean in the heat of the moment, and nowhere is this more common than in a church.
I keep getting this funny feeling that some of her group don’t really think of themselves as part of the United States. Understandable; they’re sitting on huge energy reserves and get very possessive when the United States government reminds them that they’re a state too, and have to play by the same rules.
So… I have to ask.
Mrs. Palin, if you have to make a decision between the good of the United States as a whole, against the local financial interests of your friends up north, what will you do?
“Alaska first, Alaska always“, or “One Nation, Under God, Indivisible“?
