A troubling 4th of July it is, this 2009 round. One of the American public’s most beloved political figures has suddenly signed out. Sarah Palin, conservative wife, mother, Christian, and Governor of Alaska, announced her resignation from the state’s highest office. No warning and no explanation.

I say it’s the kind of independence that America is built on. The good ol’ boys of the Republican Party club in Alaska were never her friends. The Republican Party nationally has not been her friend. Certain key members of the McCain campaign of 2008 have definitely been her enemy all along, and continue to be such. Such strong influences can definitely squelch one’s effectiveness as a governor, or as anything else. There is such a thing as not wanting to waste time.

“We are not retreating, we are advancing in a different direction,” Palin said. “We know we can effect positive change outside government at this moment in time.”

Sarah Palin is who she is. No political Party can change that. She is what she is, of her own accord and choice. If the forces against her destroy her effectiveness in politics, they cannot touch who and what she is as a person. She is a conservative Christian, trying to accomplish things for conservative, Christian values in American society.

The Republican Party has proven itself unworthy of her, or unwilling to espouse her causes, or unwilling to have her espouse these causes as Republican causes. Perhaps the Republican Party simply doesn’t want Sarah Palin representing these causes for the party. Nevertheless, her resignation may mark the end of the Republican Party as we know it. Another party will evolve or develop, perhaps, one that stands for her values–minus the political obfuscations, intrigues, lies, and wasteful in-fighting.

At the very time America celebrates its own independence as a nation in the world, Sarah Palin steps out and declares her own independence from the excessess, errors, and vanities of the Republican Party.

That such a plain, down to earth woman as Sarah Palin should see fit to resign at such a moment, just before Independence Day, the most prized American national holiday, says something ominous–not about Sarah Palin, but about American politics and American media. That Sarah Palin should announce her resignation at such a moment reveals to all that American politics is a disgrace to the men and women of our military this day.

What are they fighting for? American freedoms. What are the politicians doing? Abusing every freedom. Today’s American politicians in Washington DC, including those in the White House, are not what American soldiers are defending. Corruption, deceit, hypocrisy, immorality, and sin are not worthy of the blood of our American men and women in uniform. American politicians in Washington have made mockery of our flag, our freedoms, and our fighting men and women.

It seems that Sarah Palin’s resignation is a resounding shout for reform! This is a great thing she has done. It makes perfect sense. Let the Democrats revel in their self indulgent speculations and self-aggrandizing analyses. Let the Republicans who oppose Sarah Palin delight in their apparent success. They think they are rid of her, do they? Everyone things the pressure worked. Everyone things they all pushed her out of the game, attacking from all sides.

I say she one-uped them all. She believes in her values. She will work to advocate her values in whatever way is most effective, even if it means dropping the governor role. Maybe she sees that there are better ways to promote the values than through America’s stinking, rotten political system in Washington, DC, or in even state-level dives. Her resignation announces to the world that American politics is sick, and needs to be abandoned completely. New systems need to evolve. New methods of achieving the most serious values must be created.

Who knows for sure? I think the timing is perfect, though. American politicians need a smack right in the face. I interpret Sarah Palin’s resignation as just that.

I doubt anyone in politics takes her resignation seriously. They all interpret it as weakness or a supreme gamble of some kind. But, nah, it’s simply a direct hit on the perversion of the American political system. In a way, it doesn’t matter what she does in the future. She made a point, and the most important one that needs to be made at this time.

Independence Day, July 4, 2009, she declared her independence from political vanity. I like it. It shows great strength and dramatic style. No, I don’t really know why she resigned. I know she had a hundred times more political and managerial experience than the lying, traitorous, alien black African Communist Muslim currently in the White House. And some so-called Republicans questioned whether she had enough experience to be vice-president! A very acute non-reality, this present American political state. Who in his right mind wants to be part of that? Rather, the cause is to change it. American politics is what needs “change.” I can only hope this is Palin’s intent. Sometimes you can’t change something by being part of it. You have to approach it from a different angle. May the angels guide her aim, and grant Sarah Palin safe passage to her new vantage point.

And may the Lord’s blessing on America penetrate the marbled iniquity in our nation’s corrupt and lost capital.
