Fox News: Gov. Palin to Reveal 2012 Pick on Greta Tonight

Gov. Palin tonight will reveal on Greta Van Susteren's On the Record which declared candidate she believes has the best chance of beating Obama in 2012, according to promotional language on Fox News' home page and in a promo video.

If the foregoing is true, we can reasonably conclude that all reconsideration, "earthquake" and other such efforts should cease. Further, this pick may or may not constitute an official Palin endorsement of a declared candidate.

I watched it and she has not a negative thing to say about Ron Paul and said he should keep doing what he is doing and that is educating the American people on the problems with the economy. She is said it was not right that Ron Paul got a total of 89 seconds of question time on the last debate.

Looks to me like she might endorse Ron Paul. Would not surprise me in the least. One thing is certain, it will not be Romney. She talked at length on his flip-flops. Don’t think she likes him too much.

Please excuse the long delay in getting back to you. I had work obligations, and my loyalty to work and family compelled me to get that work done first. :)

Now, as to your definitions, I am surprised you do not see how they actually help my case that loyalty is in fact a principle. You cannot disagree that making a conscious decision to be loyal to one’s spouse constitutes a “professed rule of action or conduct,” or that such loyalty is expected of “a person of good moral principles.”

But if you truly believe it is merely a coincidental trait with no moral value, then you should, theoretically, have no problem with the following propositions:

1. It is morally indifferent to be disloyal to one’s spouse. Gingrich might like that one.

2. It is morally indifferent for a soldier to be disloyal for no particular reason to his commander, his fellows at arms who are relying on him, and even his country.

3. It is morally indifferent to be disloyal to truth.

4. It is morally indifferent to be disloyal to God.

Now it is true that the concept of loyalty appears in many different forms and expressions. For example, it is well-represented in the Scriptures as faithfulness, both as a trait and as a principle, and is applicable both to humans and to God. If God is faithful, and he is, are there really any attributes of God that are mere accidental traits with no moral significance? And even if there were, could one account faithfulness as one of those traits, when God clearly holds it up to us as one of His own “rules of action” that we are to imitate in our own life?

If this is not sufficient for you, I don’t know what to do. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. I’m sure you agree it will not help to carry on indefinitely. So if you want to keep going, fine. If not, that’s fine too.

Peace,
