It will be a devastating loss if Sarah Palin peddles enough books and visits enough gun shows that she has no incentive to run for President. There would be many chances for unique moments in the White House if she won. How about Sarah on horseback, riding through the Potomac basin like Paul Revere, ringing bells like he did and shouting, “The Democrats are coming!” That would give folks ample warning to quickly cling to their guns and religion before the left wing snatches them away. I know that she suffered ridicule for her version of Paul Revere’s ride, but from a Hollywood standpoint, she actually improved the story. Movies have soundtracks, in case anyone didn’t notice, and bells are a lot more cinematic than one lantern hanging in a church steeple. Or even two. (You can hear her defense of her version on Fox News, or as my friends call it, the F Channel.)
Since Wall Street’s recklessness plunged us into a national nightmare from which we are trying to awaken, it’s hurtful to say, as some do, that Sarah is the national nightmare. Not true. She is historically inevitable. First there was Teddy Roosevelt’s Bull Moose Party, now there is Sarah’s Shoot Moose Party. And she’s amazingly cheerful about this recession (of course, her own checkbook has fattened, but she has spread the wealth by buying a free shotgun shell reloader for every voter in Alaska).
I have some personal atonement to perform, because in the 2008 election I posted an article saying that Sarah Palin stood for our collective shadow, the pent-up bigotry, hatred, and anger that was suddenly being vented. She was Joe the Plumber’s calendar girl. She was the secret hero of Alcoholics Anonymous, whose slogan is that you can’t recover until you hit rock bottom. President Palin would show us that we haven’t remotely hit bottom yet.
The mistake was mine, though. Sarah would smile her way into the Presidency and then show pointy-head critics the error of their ways. Not that she would ask Americans to turn on one another in vicious divisiveness — been there, done that. With 70% of the public so misguided as to consider her unqualified to be President, she has a bigger job to do than fomenting discord and calling anyone who disagrees with the Tea Party a socialist.
My President Palin would lead us through a national cleansing, like Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution. Nothing as violent, however, not at first. Maybe she might let school kids scribble with crayons on the paintings in the Museum of Modern Art. I’ve never met a soccer mom who wanted a Picasso refrigerator magnet. Or she might close all the high-brow music schools and inaugurate the kind of music that gosh darn real Americans like: harmonica, the musical saw, and tapping your foot to the radio while driving a pickup. What more do we really need?
Andrew Jackson’s inauguration in 1828 was disrupted when a mob burst into the White House, tracking in mud, breaking the china, and eventually turning the lawn into a drinking bout. Sarah has the style to make this an official event. The Jackson mob dropped so much cheese on the floor that it ruined the White House carpets, so my advice is for Sarah to skip the buffalo wings and hand out beer bongs.
The last reason I want Sarah to run for President is rooted in a famous saying from the auto industry of the Fifties: “What’s good for GM is good for the country.” Sarah wouldn’t have bailed out GM, so you might not see the fit when it comes to helping the average worker. But here’s the update: “What’s good for my brand is good for the country.” Sarah has proved that in spades.
People actually listen to this guy, put him on TV shows and push his books. He’s a hugh maroon, and yes, I’m series!
What a STUPID article. The man’s a real ass.
I’ll bet he was one of The Weiner’s biggest follower Twits.
“This guy writes like a hateful 6th grader...”
I was reading this bile and thinking “Deepak Chopra? Isn’t he some peace, love and happiness poet or writer or philospher or something?”
I must be thinking of someone else.
That’s some really lofty, spiritual, new age stuff, isn’t it. Have you heard him talk (with his thick Indian accent)? This little “essay” had to be ghost written. Either that or he’s been reincarnated again and now speaks Progressive Jive.
Moronic nonsense from Chopra, well-known icon of suburban New Age Leftists, plagiarist, and outright thief of the work of others for his own profit.
While sneering at Sarah Palin, he offers nothing himself.
He dumped life in India as too superstitious, then came to America to manipulate those same superstitious impulses; now he’s made an outright fortune exploiting America’s appetite for gobbledy-gook and mindless panaceas, all with knowledge that he pirated from others.
Now he spits on America’s political process.
He’s a cynical and amoral capitalist who, like the old Parsian roue who recovered her virginity after the French Revolution, postures on the Left and pretends he’s an idealist.
In actuality, he’ll go anywhere and say anything if that’s where the money is.
He is just new age channeling :
Kruthammer, Will, Kristol, Noonan, Parker, Brook's, Rove, Medved, and Sullivan... For starters...
Now that was funny Deepak.
When I first read that, I had in my mind’s eye that this was Dinesh D’Souza and I was like “WTF?” (Sorry Dinesh). Deepcrack is a flaming idiot.
Chopra thinks we are all hicks, incapable of intelligent thought, walking around with cow manure on our boots and playing Buck Owens records.
All the intelligent people are liberals, thankful for Barack Obama, filled with hope and change, and love for the democrat party.
HA! I wasn’t mistaken. This is the guy I was thinking of. Here is part of his “spirtual inspiration of the day” from his website from today:
**********************
I will practice non-judgment. I will begin my day with the statement, “Today, I shall judge nothing that occurs”, and throughout the day I will remind myself not to judge.
**********************
Okay - I’m the first one to say that I am a hypocrite. BUT - I try not to be. And I sure as heck don’t put it in writing. Like just now - I deleted the several sentences I had on what I wish would happen to frauds like this. (Being a good Christian and all that).
He should stick with witch doctorin’ and B movie cameos.
The boy has some serious fear problems, must be disappointed with his Messiah child in the White Hut.
That’s just it - Chopra repeats ancient wisdom in his books, then doesn’t even try to live it. If he believed anything he writes, he would take no interest whatsoever in politics.
Does anyone else have doubts that Chopra actually wrote this? I don’t know the guy but this seems unlikely (as poorly as it’s written).
Like so many libs who claim compassion, they are really not very nice people.
This broadside reminds me of a bunch of catty girls smirking about another in the high school lunchroom.
The bigotry displayed in this sentence alone is breathtaking.
This Chopra person, he’s not bright, is he?
Uh, Mr. Chopra? My karma just ran over your dogma. Sorry!
>> My President Palin would lead us through a national cleansing, like Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
Only an asshole would spend the time on an essay that ultimately distills to an absurd Mao analogy.
Go pound sand, Dickpak.
BTW, is that your Mao ornament hanging from Obama’s holiday tree.
