I don’t know if The Southern Avenger has read “Going Rogue,” but the more I read that book the more I identify with her, and the more I see how we have very similar views on government.

As a member of the City Council, as Mayor, and as Governor, the leading principal that guided her is the idea that people can make their own decisions better than any politician can make it for them, and that the job of government is to get out of the way so that people can pursue their dreams and prosper.

She understands that the free market is the most efficient way to get quality goods to consumers, and that government mandates are not only bad economic policy, but are also morally wrong. That’s why she worked hard to stop these pointless mandates and unnecessary regulations, as well as decrease the tax load on families and businesses.

But when she got on the national stage, all that the establishment and the main-stream media saw in her is that she is a woman and that she is pro-life. They decided that a successful woman, who is not enslaved to the liberal, feminist establishment, cannot be allowed to go forward and must be stopped. She was not given the chance to talk about her views on personal liberty, free markets and government coercion. All she was asked is whether she knew how to read, and if she really naive enough to believed that a baby in the womb might actually have the right to life.

If you read her book, you might get to see the side of her that was not shown to you by CBS or MSNBC, or for that matter the McCain campaign.
