Known also as the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman did on October 28, endorse the ticket of John McCain and our hometown, self-described hockey mom, pit-bull-in-lipstick and "real American," Sarah Palin.
A couple of things: In the course of this endorsement, The Frontiersman editor writes that the the "war on terror" is in Iraq, calls McCain a "warrior" and Obama a "wimp." If we really wanted a "warrior" for the top civilian job in these United States, wouldn't Colin Powell, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, be a better choice? Or how about General Wesley Clark? Or about 12 other retired generals? These warriors endorse Barack (yes, you can say it) Hussein Obama for Commander-in-Chief. Sorry John.
Funny, I used to write for the Frontiersman before it had succumbed, by increments, to a conservative orthodoxy that is shameful to the Alaskan tradition of free and forward thinking.
In Alaska we used to have a lot of pick-ups with mud flaps proclaiming "NORTH TO THE FUTURE." You don't see them anymore.
