McClatchy DC:

Alaska Native leaders are angry at Gov. Sarah Palin's appointment of Wayne Anthony Ross to be the state's next attorney general, but it's unlikely that will stop the Legislature from confirming him to the job in two weeks.

Stupid is as stupid does. Hopefully Alaskans have learned their lesson. Find out how intelligent or not before voting someone into office. They found a real dimwit in Palin.

I hope the citizens of Alaska will remember all this when it comes time for her re-election. She should be rejected by the voters of the state.

I hope no one forgets her entire campaign was based on inciting r a c i s m and hatred towards Muslims and Blacks. I wonder if she believes the Holocaust happened. She clearly the Earth didn't happen until a mere 6000 years ago.

As the commenter from Alaska writes of AG Wayne Anthony Ross aka WAR ;

"He has been an outspoken critic of subsistence and has strongly suggested that, or basically
promised when he was running as governor, that he wanted to hire a bunch of 'junkyard dogs' and turn them lose on ANILCA."
===================================
Meaning that he would hire junkyard dogs, to go after the natives there. The Natives every reason to be angry with Palin over this choice!

Excerpt & Link;

http://www.akhistorycourse.org/articles/article.php?artID=256

In November 1980 the U.S. Congress passed an act that has been called "the most important environmental legislation in the history of the nation" the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act or ANILCA. The act made 104 million acres of Alaskan land into national parks and preserves, national forests, and national fish and wildlife preserves. About half of the land, 50 million acres, was set aside as wilderness.

The bill proposed that Natives would continue to have access to traditional resources within the conservation units. One hunter from the village of Minto told the Congressmen that if their generation failed to protect the land," God might forgive them, but their children would not". Urban Alaska seemed determined to keep Alaska open for development, but village Alaska wanted protection from development.

President Carter, writing 15 years after ANILCA, said that it was "one of my proudest accomplishments as President," a feeling most Americans accepted.

Ross & Palin, what an unholy pair. He, with his history of outspoken advocacy against honoring the terms of ANILCA & her unwillingness to do anything to support the Native people of Ak since becoming gov. She refers to AFN as a "a few vocal critics". That statement alone shows disrespect for Native Alaskans. I cannot believe that she is going to get away with appt. Ross. What a sad day for Ak.

Sarah Palin always dismisses criticism. Does she ever listen to it or learn from it?

SARAH is obviously About as Anti-Alaskan Native as you can get! ~ she cares NOTHING for the people of Alaska and hires those who stroke her ego.

SHE is shameful- HE is shameful- LORD help us- maybe this volcano is torturing US for a reason- WE deserve it for putting her at the helm.

shame ON those who voted for this bigot

I don't know about this Ross guy. A flamboyant, almost theatrical character who drives around in a Carnival float and has an irrational fear of gays. Hmmm.

Alaskans chose her for their Governer. That's whay they get. In California, we chose Ahnold and Californians are paying for that decision. When will people learn that they MUST investigate their political leaders and not be charmed by their looks, like being an actor or a beauty contestant.

"Obviously I am not anti-Native ". Where'd she get that? Did they confirm that when she finally showed up to pass out cookies after leaving them cold and hungry for months and months and even then only showed because it gave her a photo op with Franklin Graham to dazzle the oh so white evangelicals with her Lady of the Immaculate Immorality act?

Woman's a train wreck.

Ask all the rural villagers how much La Palin cares about her own constituents. . . (Not at all, would be the correct conclusion.)
