Hilarious LTTE in this morning's Anchorage Daily News

[Blue_In_AK]

You gotta love 'em.....

Liberal Democrats may be Alaska's bird flu; let's rid ourselves of them

I think it's high time that we use the Alaska National Guard to patrol Alaska's borders and airports to ensure that no more liberals/Democrats come to our state. We are having an epidemic and way too many are here in Alaska. So let's round them up and send them to Seattle, California or wherever they came from before we're all infected. Liberal Democrats could be our Alaska's bird flu; they are trying to poison our state and if we continue to let this liberal flu go unchecked, Alaska could have an epidemic that would harm our very existence. So to all you Alaskans who have not been affected, don't forget to get your liberal flu shot; just register/vote Republican. Gee, I just can't wait for the liberal Democrats to respond to this one.

Sorry to tell Mr. Ralls that I've been a Liberal Democrat all my life, I've been in Alaska since 1975 and I'm here to stay. :rofl:

1. Here Is How I Would Respond

Something about his beliefs must be weak indeed if he thinks he can catch an opinion like one catches the flu.

Perhaps he is not as much of a Conservative as he thinks.

[Kolesar]

2. That's not hilarious.

Some papers allow some really pathetic RW diatribes to be published. Believe me, this is not by accident. This is the choice of the Daily News.

4. Not reallly...

The Daily News letters generally run about two to one, at least, against the Bush administration, and their editorial policy is quite liberal. I think they posted this one for the laughs.

3. Write a LTTE back!

Come on, if he finds out there's even one liberal Dem, he'll take off!

[DenaliDemocrat]

5. You know what kills me about these guys

is all of the government assistance THEY get.

Permanent Fund.
Longevity Bonus.
Senior Property Tax exemption.
Subsistence Hunting Rights
Subsistence Fishing Rights
Commerical Fisherman subsidies
Commercial Canneries subsidies
Native Corporations Land Allotment
Timber Harvest subsidies


Of course, other than that, all of these Alaska conservatives are "self-relient"

Ha

7. DD, I knew you'd get the joke. :-)

[snippy]

6. Robert Ralls must have enjoyed Germany in the 1930's. n/t

[OffWithTheirHeads]

8. Oh NO Mr. Bill!!!

Liberal Dems, they are like locusts!

[IowaGuy]

9. It looks like he's been suckin' at the tit of big oil....

too long; gettin' all that free socialist oil money from the state...startin' to clog him up and block the blood to his brain, and that takes some doin' considering where it's obviously located.

10. Why do you hate America?

:evilgrin:

11. Alaska Permanent Fund

What they should have in Iraq.
What we should have in the rest of the US for: broadcast rights, federal lands rights, multi state aquifer rights, carbon emission rights, pollution rights, etc.

Universal Dividend of about $2,000 a year, for being excluded from the commons: broadcasting, occupying federal lands, mining, etc.

States could do their own thing for their natural resources.

[Blue_In_AK]

12. Actually our dividend this year was just a little over $835...

...because the amount is calculated using the average of the stock market returns on the investments over the previous five years, and since the market has been down, so have our checks. The largest we ever received was $1969 in 2000. Interesting that you mention Iraq, because the late Governor Jay Hammond, commonly recognized as the "father of the permanent fund," was working on that very issue shortly before his death a few months ago. I believe he had actually traveled to Iraq to talk to people over there about setting one up for the Iraqi citizens. Governor Hammond was definitely a far-sighted man for setting this up at the very beginning when the oil first started flowing through the pipeline. He is one of the few Republicans that I ever supported whole-heartedly, and for far more than just the permanent fund. We lost a giant when he died.

13. I was making a SWAG about what it'd be nationally

but thanks for the info. The Permanent Fund is something of a grail for us Georgists.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. And then some wonder why we have reched a boiling pont

yep... oh and it is not funny.. but a symptom

[Blue_In_AK]

15. I choose to laugh at them, but I hear what you're saying... n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Well laughter IS a weapoin

and making ridicule is a tool... I was told this by a local fanatic, and I just laughed histerically... he stood there mouth agape... irony is also a tool.

But These things are symptoms

[RazzleDazzle]

17. Oh, SOMEONE needs to write a rebuttal -- very simple:

Something like this:

Robert Ralls is so right about ridding Alaska of all the liberal Democrats. That would help ensure that Alaska can have more bridges to nowhere, exquisitely symbolizing what an Alaska peopled entirely by Republicans would be like.
