The revolution has begun and Sarah Palin has freed herself to lead it. It can’t wait. The insanity in Washington (DNC and GOP) has got to stop in the next few months before the country is run too far off the rails.

As an aside, I’m loving the redesign of the website. Tammy, it was worth the effort!

4th of July only hours away. Could our girl Sarah be declaring her independence…from the Republican party elites who refused to stand up for her? She is truly an independent conservative. In fact, she specifically mentioned getting away from the politics-as-usual crap in today’s announcement.
Let the next round of Palin Derangement Syndrome begin. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds. My short-term prediction: she hits the speech circuit, finishes the memoir, formulates and articulates national policy positions (especially on illegal immigration, she’s never stated her position and it really is my one concern), raises money for like-minded conservatives like Rubio for 2010. In essence – community organizing for conservatives…meant to lead, not brainwash. :0)

Where ever Sarah leads I will follow. Waiting in Iowa for her to say the word. Sarah still rocks!

I was hoping she wouldn’t run for re-election, though resigning as a fiscal liability to her state just sounds…bad. I understand her reasons and admire her for putting Alaska before any self-interest, but right now I don’t see things going well for her unless she takes an active role in the Tea Party Movement. Only problem with that plan is the deliberate distance that movement has created between itself and (Democrat/Republican) party-affiliated politicians/political Commentators.

Just wondering…would resigning as governor bring Tea Party protesters to consider her as a figure-head? Does the Movement even need clear leadership? Is she going to stay involved in the GOP or go “Independent?” I remember her giving the Tea Party Protests some press during that Lauer Interview back in June. It just makes me think, you know?

Not even sure this is worth mentioning.

It is no mistake that she declared herself firmly for the liberty and free enterprise of the American people. Today is 3 July 2009, 233 years and one day. She reaffirms that call to arms against greedy tyrants in a far away capital city, then London, now Washington DC.

As she steps away from her title of Governor focus on her brilliant accomplishments there. Unknown by the bulk of national voters are her stellar accomplishments. The Left paints her as a backwoods trailer trash hick. (My apologies to hicks and those who live in trailers. Poverty in money does not mean poverty of dignity.) She cleaned out the corruption within the Alaska government. She swept away the corrupt relationship between the oil industry and the Alaska government. She returned the State to its original constitution and paid dividends to its citizens. As Commander-in-Chief of the Alaska National Guard she had the highest security clearance between candidates McCain, Obama and Biden. She would have to have been aware of the several intentional test penetrations of sovereign Alaska air space by Russian bombers. She would be aware of statements by high officials in the Russian government who said that Russia never sold Alaska to the US but instead leased it the US and that the lease is about up. She is involved in one of the largest infrastructure projects in the history of the United States, the energy supply line from Alaska to the Lower 48.

As she sheds the Governorship she sheds the target on her back which enabled an endless barrage of frivolous law suits which sought to impoverish her family and destroy the effectiveness of the Alaska government. These worthless complaints cost nothing from those who made them but cost the Palins thus far $500,000 and the state $2,000,000 and 1,000′s of hours of state workers’ time.

Sarah Palin emerges. I suspect she knows about the real Barack Hussein Obama, Jr including at least one of his more well known alias identities, his bizarre family background and his life history. She’s a competitor, a fighter and a long distance runner. She spoke today, from the heart. She didn’t need a teleprompter to know what to say or how to say it. This is a beginning.

233 years ago Jefferson’s beginning, his battle cry, was a mutual commitment of blood, of treasure and of our sacred honor.

I am surprised to say the least, but I like it. Not only is she [U]not[/U] abandoning ship, but she is setting a new course for America.

A thought just occurred to me. If Sarah Palin is resigning because she thinks she is going to do harm to her state because of her possible future actions, then she’s making a noble sacrifice. She’s giving up power for the greater good. Compare this with Barack Obama, who’s policies may lead the country to ruin. Wouldn’t Obama resigning actually be beneficial at this point? By remaining as President until January 20, 2013 (assuming he’s a one-termer like Carter), Obama will keep power despite it being against the greater good. And that could be a campaign point regarding a possible 2012 Palin/Obama race – Sarah Palin is willing to do what is best for her country, even if it means giving up power for herself, whereas Barack Obama will not.

And no, Tammy didn’t buy any damn “carbon credits.” And neither did I. :-p Al Gore, kiss it.
