Anyone know what’s with the strange American flag in the picture?
It has Alaska spelled “ALAZKA” and with a strange red X across it?

Am I seeing this wrong or just what is it?

Yes Aaska is a welfare state. Check out the activities of the “Alaskan Native Corporations” which are Permanently Enabled to take no bid contracts on minority & disadvantaged set asides.

Good point in the song. Shesus of Wasilla swore solemnly, on the Bible, so help her God, that she would faithfully discharge her duties as governor. The oath didn’t mention dead fish, higher callings, or basketball.

Nixon was 39 when he gave that speech.

You are thinking of the “Checkers” speech. The reference is to the “You won’t have Nixon to kick around any more” speech.

The speech was given after he lost the 1964 gubernatorial race in California. He was 51 years old.

I gotta admit that as a vacuum to draw off the initiative and motivation that might have been directed towards investigating and indicting the crimes of the bush administration and dismantling the networks that stil exist she’s done an excellent excellent job….. unfortunately.

She sure done her job of d(e/i)str(a/u)ction.

The Code of Bushido in WWII was used as a tool to motivate the ignorant masses to murder and die in the name of the emperor. For example, the rape, torture and murder of over 300,000 “unarmed” civilians in Nanking was justified by the arrogance and racism of the Code. The estimated 10 million Chinese (mostly civilians)killed starved and murdered with biological weapons by the Japanese was not at all “honorable”.The military in control of the government and the puppet “divine” emperor used the Code to brainwash and control the ordinary soldier. Some of the Code’s character traits such as Justice, Unselfishness, Righteousness, Honor and Virtue were a joke in WWII. Using the “divine wind” or kamikaze to die in large numbers for naught was renamed “passing wind” by U.S. pilots.Blind obedience in the name of Country– what a waste.The Japanese people deserved better.

The similarities drawn between Hoover and Obama are striking.
