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.

The "fake Indian" is Elizabeth Warren.

Yes, I can see why Alaska would want to stop paying for all those parasitic New England states like Connecticut and New Hampshire...

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.

If you'll take back Sarah Palin and keep her there, we'll be happy to let you go.

You can't possibly produce enough food in Alaska to feed the entire population. You'd just end up paying huge duties on food imports. Then your economy would collapse and you'd have to go crawling back.

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...

The people of the state that elected Sarah Palin have no business calling the rest of us "morons."

That's OK, if you promise to keep Sarah Palin inside your borders.

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.

Alaska has to import over 99% of its food.
It has almost no industry.
An independent country of Alaska would be a bought by China within a week.

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.

Your "free state" was a gift from the Russians.
