When it comes to exposing the many brutal lies of the failed US elite, this is the finest political speech given this year. This a speech that also could have been given by Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders or Ron Paul. In this speech Sarah Palin tosses away the Washington DC warmongers for the first time, saying what a gr...

I can proudly say I disliked her from the start and didn't vote for her. I was kind of surprised when we got a year in and there were no scandals. Then BOOOOOMMMM they all started hitting, over and over. I just can't get over Alaska voters' poor judgment.

When thugs attacked us on the street, the police said we were well within our rights to restrain them until the police showed up. Whether you're guilty or innocent, if someone is restraining you until the police show up, I'd suggest you wait for the police.

That's too blanket a statement and doesn't fit the facts as presented. Larson, an older man with bad vision, was apparently pushed to the ground several times merely for verbally confronting and following the younger more physically able Tallman. After the final unjustified assault he drew a weapon and warned Tallman t...

Against your assumptions, I'm reading the article and I say he had every right to shoot this guy. The guy decided to assault the homeowner instead of continue running away from the police. That's ASSAULT. The guy had every right to defend himself.

This is what you get when you sell out the environment and our state by working for the evil empire. Have fun finding a new job that pays as well and gives you such perks! But at least you won't be shepherded to the polls by your employer and bade to vote a certain way anymore.

Mr. Haycox seems to be saying: "Hi, I'm from the government and I'm here to help you".

You need to learn the law. If a crime is taking place, you have every right to restrain him until the police come. In addition, I believe (but am not sure anymore) that Alaskans have the right to make a citizen's arrest.

...no, they aren't "unpredictable." They are completely predictable. This is the lesson that needs to get out there. Avalanches happen in very specific places in specific conditions. Avalanche deaths are totally avoidable.

Where are these qualified workers going to go? To a state that doesn't tax their citizens? Good luck with that. Very few people, if any will, quit their job because they have to pay an income tax.

What does this have to do with levying a 35% tax on the PFD? Oh and you better check your tax calculations, a single person making $30,000 and collecting a $2000 PFD would pay $3,804 in federal taxes. http://dinkytown.net/java/Tax1040.html
