Recently I wrote about Self Governance and the Moral Standard. Today I would like to continue in the theme of Self Governance and how Economic Policy can either move our Nation toward or away from that goal.

First I need to define some terms for the purpose of this discussion. In my view there are only three basic views on economic policy, the first is the Free Market, the second is Keynesian Free Market, and the third is the Socialist Market. I am sure that many will call me naive or uneducated in the realm of economics, and I am fine with that. I don’t have a degree in economics and to be honest my knowledge of economics is limited, but, as will become apparent, that does not make what I say any less relevant.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. John Adams

What did John Adams mean by this statement? To me it is obviuos. For a people to be capable of self governance as described in the Constitution they must first have their foundation set firmly in a moral code accepted by those to be governed. Many question how this can square with the idea that there be a “wall of separation between the Church and the Government”(paraphrased Thomas Jefferson). Again to me the answer is obvious. Indeed it is not the place of the Government to set or enforce a specific moral code but rather the responsibility of those who wish to employ self governance, to adhere and promote a moral life despite the government.

I am positive that PBS is expecting this poll to be a landslide against Gov. Palin, due to their usual audience. At this point not so much. The poll right now has 49% yes, 49% no.

I would like to ask everyone here at RS to go to this poll and let your voice be heard. If this poll shows overwhelming support of Gov. Palin we will probably never see the results, but if the poll shows disapproval for Gov. Palin, surely it will be used by the MSM as proof of concept.

So in order to stop the MSM from using this poll I urge everyone who reads this to go tothe PBS poll and vote for Gov. Palin if you feel she is qualified for VPOTUS
