One of my favorite things to learn about Sarah Palin was her ties to the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants their state to secede from the United States. Said the group’s late founder Joe Vogler “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government.”

Pretty radical stuff, right? Perhaps. But no more radical than our Founding Fathers.

The U.S. was born of secession, when leaders from the thirteen American colonies decided that they should separate themselves from their British masters. As the United States creeps closer towards socialism, a trend aided and abetted by both major parties, might it be time to consider separating ourselves from our masters in Washington, DC?
