Not only has she taken part in using the flag as a cheap photo prop but she is even resting her arm on it. This is a complete outrage to all the brave men and women who serve our country. I demand she issue a formal apology to the American people immediately. This is a disgusting outrage.

Who cares if she is resting her arm on it? You're behaving as if this flag is your idol/god or something that should be held in the highest regards. That flag means oppression, rape, murder, theft and disease to many peoples and cultures on the planet.

Wake up, get a grip, and stop idolozing colors and pieces of cloth...

I agree she should apologize and it is disrespectful. I said in another thread that Obama should apologize to America for bending over for the Japanese Emperor and I also think Sara should apologize for treating the American flag with disrespect.

That was exactly what I was thinking UNTIL I saw the picture. You don't let the flag touch the ground, you don't set it anywhere unless it is folded, You ceremoniously raise it and lower it, simple or elaborate, but you do ceremony.

You don't throw it in a clump on a table and smile for the camera.

It might seem silly but at the end of the day, yes, she owes Americans especially soldiers an apology.

I imagine you are the type who thinks it silly when people put their hand over their heart during the national anthem.

i recognize the satire if it is the intent...

and if it was...it goes with providing a fake, but highly likely prediction like the sun rising.

it's to get a rise out of people and has no place here...

it waste time. and space.

and in my eye is a cheap attempt for attention/stars/attention/flags/attention/replies/attention/attention.

As for myself, I see nothing wrong with the photo. I do not believe it was intentional, it's just a photo shoot. Get over it!



Peace,
Grandma

She's talked about how close she is to Russia, I suspect she's closer than she let's on! IF, you know what I mean!


LMAO!. If she does back seceeding from the union it is because she is a constitutionalist who believes the federal government should not be given as much power as it has.

The group she may belong to tht you are referring too is AKIP. This is what they have to say about their beliefs.


We are the only Alaskan political party that is entirely composed of Alaskans, staffed by Alaskans and financed by Alaskans. We are not affiliated with any political party on a National level. We believe and hold a firm footing in the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and following the Constitution of the United States and Alaska. We are a States' Rights party, as is reflected in the AIP Platform. We stand on a firm Constitutional foundation. The continual growth of membership of the Alaskan Independence Party has created one of the largest third parties in the United States. Join us as we lead Alaska to the Prosperity, Freedom and Liberty that Alaskans expect, deserve and should enjoy. We look forward to your membership!

There is a commonly held belief across Alaska, that the US Constitution has been set aside, and other then ourselves, there are no protections to the liberty and freedoms we are to have as our continued inheritance since the formation of the Union of the "several States". Our main "goal" is a legal vote and ballot; one that was not given in 1958 and was in violation of International Law and Treaty. Alaskan were robbed of the choices we were to have as a non-self-governing territory, and steam-rolled into the current classification of a State. The Native population of Alaska, in a large percentage, did not even receive a ballot because of the Federal Voting Rights Act in place, at the time requiring the ability to read and write English, and for the first time in any Statehood vote of a Territory entering this "Union", the military and their of age dependents, through a special act of the US Congress, were allowed access to the Statehood ballot. Then, as today, corruption abounds. The US government is far and away outside the bounds placed on it by the 9th and 10th amendments and is operating illegally for all .

But she definitely made a mistake to treat the flag like that.
