Alaskan Treasure

I was to starting to form the mental image of the new, revitalized Sarah Palin, our champion, and how she would help us set forth an appropriate climate control policy for our nation in this trying time. Our champion would help us master the formidable problem of healthcare for our nation… How do we provide for those that don’t have adequate coverage, and yet not run up the national deficit doing it, or, even worse, have the government take control of something that should really be in the hands of individuals?

Yes, our champion certainly will have a lot on her plate once she moves from the governor’s office to her new champion’s venue. But this image was somehow wrong. Can one champion, yes, even one as moral and powerful as Sarah Palin take on the “Political Tsunami” by herself. I fretted over this a lot as I realized that the champion approach to national healing could not possibly cope with the massive political upheaval that we are now experiencing. This is so depressing. And I thought and thought… “there was something that Sarah said on Friday… let me review that speech again… there it is – those golden words”.

In the middle of her notice to Alaska that she was stepping down, Governor Palin proclaimed the key to America’s freedom, those marvelous words:

“I've never believed that I, nor anyone else, needs a title to do this - to make a difference... to HELP people.”

Here, at last, we activated people, who for some time now have sensed the Tsunami coming, have the tools – this simple and magnificent concept – that we need to launch the “Counter Tsunami” and win back freedom for us and all Americans. People with the right motivation and the right tools can accomplish wonderful things. We’re all pretty smart; we certainly have had the motivation; now thanks to the Alaskan treasure that Governor Palin revealed to us right before Independence Day, we will regain independence again for all.

“I've never believed that I, nor anyone else, needs a title to do this - to make a difference... to HELP people” was proclaimed over 4000 miles from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, but this will stand next to “I have a dream” as a defining moment in America’s history. Please understand that I sincerely hope that no one will be offended by seeing Sarah Palin and Martin Luther King, Jr. in the same sentence – I’m not comparing this speech to Dr. King’s masterpiece of rhetoric, but it will accomplish the same goal of energizing a suffering people. And even though she didn’t sit in a Birmingham jail like Dr. King, Sarah Palin has also endured much at the hands of her critics, yet she still stands tall and is willing to fight for our liberty. But make no mistake about it, we live in more desperate times now than when Dr. King fought for Civil Rights – if we don’t act now, we will all, black and white, rich and poor, be swallowed up by the encroaching “Political Tsunami” that has taken on a life of its own.
