Fuck you. If I had my way, the West would secede from you shitbags in the New England States and the Rust Bowl. You’re morons who reelect a criminal, a nutbag named Jesse Jackson Jr, and a fake Indian.
As I said, y’all can fucking rot. I live in the FREE STATE of Alaska and we have everything we need to be our own nation. We need you parasitic fuckwads like Massachusetts needs more assholes.

The idiot is referring to the amazing woman, Elizabeth Warren.
Scott Brown her opponent labeled her a "fake indian" apparently because she talked about her Native American heritage while having white skin.
Yes, you have everything you need to be your own nation...
...except for the means to support yourselves without US money & resources, food imports, military, and government money.
Alaska got $1.83 in federal spending for each dollar collected in taxes in 2005. Breaking it down on a per capita basis the Federal government spent $13,788 for each resident of Alaska and received only $7,215 each in return.
Good luck with your self-sufficiency there...
"I live in the FREE STATE of Alaska and we have everything we need to be our own nation."
Snow! Moose! Snow! Trees! Snow! Bears! Snow! Tundra! Cold! Freezing! More Snow! Glaciers! Snow!
Unless they're traditional Innuit, they're gonna fall on their faces!
SNOW!

Go for it. I know Alaska is a huge state but you only have so much caribou and moose to go around. After that then what? Alaska isn't exactly prime real estate for farming and while you might make enough from drilling all of your oil to pay for food imports you'll destroy that natural beauty that brings in tourists. You'll take away the only reason people have to go to Alaska. Not only that but suddenly you won't the US military to protect you. Enjoy being conquered by Russia or China! And don't expect the US to help you. After all, we wouldn't want to interfere with the affairs of a FREE STATE who doesn't need any help from anyone.
OK, we'll let you secede as long as you take every single right-wing fundie Christian nationalist Republican nutbag with you and populate the whole state. Then you can have your Republic of Jesusland and leave the rest of us alone. I like this idea better than using Texas because at least we won't have to share a border. Sorry, Canada.
I will switch my Free Tibet bumper sticker with a Free Alaska one! Totally behind your cause, Todd, and once you are independent, please make sure Sarah does never leave this wonderful country of yours.
I would perfectly happy to let Alaska go. I would also pay good $ to see AK try to make a go of being independent.
I live in the NE-by the Jersey Shore...what's left of it & it is FAR superior to AK. My state is known for crooked politics but AK is known for Sarah Palin. I'll take the mob over that any day.
It's a free country. You have the right to leave any time you want and go to any country that will have you. You do not have the right to take your neighbors with you against their will. You also don't have the right to make your neighbors starve to death. Agriculture is virtually nonexistent in Alaska and civilization, as we usually define it, can not exist without agriculture.
America has enslaved states? Which ones are those? And do you get to keep the Moonbattered silent in those?
Also, I bet the Russians get loads of laughs from stuff like this: "And they PAID us to take them, ahahahah."
US Supreme Court, Texas v. White 1869.
Secession is illegal unless agreed to by both the state doing the seceding and the states staying in the Union . In other words: no leaving the US once you've joined.
And, as others have noted:
Alaska products: oil, methane, and seafood.
Alaska imports: almost all other food and all manufactured goods - including medical supplies.
Any sort of secession/isolationist policy would be near suicide.
@TheRowan: There really needs to be an updated version of that chart (New Mexico went Democratic in this election).
Please don't speak for everyone in the West. I know my state (Arizona) is redder than an Indian's
dick dipped in hot sauce, but there are still some sane ones of us left here. And please, by all means, secede. Believe me, you won't be missed.
Oh look, another traitor. If they want the "freedom" to live in a anally-retentive, reactionary Christian autocracy, we can always sell them back to the Russians...
Alaska is one of the worst welfare states in the nation -- no, not the citizens, the state itself. Over $1.80 in federal money is spent in Alaska for every dollar in taxes taken in by the federal government from Alaska. In other words, us shitbags subsidize the existence of Alaska by nearly 100% of what they can afford themselves.
So do it, secede.
[edit: damn, beat me to it. But i'm glad that red state socialism charts is making the rounds again. agreed we need an updated version, pronto.]
There are times when I think the right response the Union should have had when the Confederacy seceded should have been "good riddance, assholes. Now watch your new country become a shithole because of your backward attitudes, and watch as the rest of us become more like Europe now that we don't have to try to woo your votes in every election."
Yes, secede. Let the rest of us stop having to cater to your idiotic agendas so we can finally take our place again among first world nations and stop being an embarrassment.
You call Alaska a free state, and yet your state receives $1.80 in federal aid for every dollar you pay into the system. That makes you one of Ann Ryne's takers and among Romney's 47%. Go ahead, secede, you literally couldn't last a month without the socialism you bitch about but happily take anyway.
I live in Massachusetts. It's not, for the record, full of assholes. The asshole distribution is about the same as everywhere else. The reason people from elsewhere think we're assholes is that they don't always get the New England culture.
Also, stop shitting on Elizabeth Warren for the American Indian thing. Her heritage is nobody's concern but hers and her family's, even if there was misinformation. She didn't make it nearly as big a deal as her opponents did, and if Harvard exploited her heritage that's on them, not on her. You can disagree with her and that's fine but I am sick of all the concern trolls that keep saying she's a fake Indian as if there's nothing else to know about her. Go yell at a white girl in a headdress on Tumblr.
One third of Alaska's economy depends on federal spending; it receives $10 billion a year in federal aid and the state fourth largest employer (the University of Alaska) depends on federal grants to the tune of $125 million annually. Alaska receives more federal aid per capita than any other state in the union (Massachusetts runs about 15th on the list).
So who's the parasitic fuckwad?
@Akasuna:
Good point. Gunny G needs to define "the West". Considering the entire western seaboard of the US is very liberal - California, Oregon, Washington state. And Nevada is trending in that direction. So are Colorado and New Mexico.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
