Nobody instilled those beliefs and values in myself, I came to my own conclusions after endless hours of reading about our ancestors.

Very commendable. There are millions of people out there who don't bother to do so.

I would never blindly follow any leader simply because they claimed to possess “moral authority”.

Of course not. But Palin never claimed this for herself. Her followers just sense that she has leadership quality.

I also believe that she has leadership quality and would be an excellent POTUS, and I would happily vote for her. However, if she caves in to political correctness I would become immediately apathetic to her candidacy.

I am watching very closely.
