Deepak Chopra: Sarah Palin, My President
Deepak Chopra's Website ^ | June 16, 2011 | Deepak Chopra

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.

“Quantum healing is healing the bodymind from a quantum level. That means from a level which is not manifest at a sensory level. Our bodies ultimately are fields of information, intelligence and energy. Quantum healing involves a shift in the fields of energy information, so as to bring about a correction in an idea that has gone wrong. So quantum healing involves healing one mode of consciousness, mind, to bring about changes in another mode of consciousness, body.” —Deepak Chopra - Found in Skeptic’s Dictionary - http://www.skepdic.com/chopra.html

Sounds as if this boy needs some quantum healing of his nasty spirit.

Like Jimmy Carter, Deepak has a less well-known brother - Sixpak.

His father was Deepshit.

Hate filled, bitter, sarcastic, arrogant and smug. Keep up these kinds of attacks Deepsix (or whatever) because they show the true face of the left.

I liked most of what he said about Sarah, especially her telling us the Democrats are coming, and then I realized he hated her. Too bad, there are several good ideas in this like “shoot moose party”. My favorite name for a third party ticket.

He was Michael Jackson's friend/advisor...that worked out really well.

If not for Larry King Live, I never would have heard of this guy. I only watched to remind myself that things can get worse.

she suffered ridicule for her version of Paul Revere’s ride,

But the joke was on the MSM. Sarah Palin was correct in every aspect.

He bought this essay at the Dollar Store, and then ran it over with a bulldozer to make the letters bigger.

I don’t get excited one way or the other about Buck but when, “The Tall, Dark Stranger” was playing every five minutes on the radio I was a 25 year old single man standing six four barefoot and I got sick and tired of being called the tall, dark stranger. I’m not even dark, for Pete’s sake.

Sarah Palin is starting to amaze me.

You CAN see Russia from parts of Alaska.

Obamacare DOES create the equivalent of "death panels".

Paul Revere's ride DID result in the ringing of church bells to alert the population and he did warn the British that they would meet armed opposition.

People have also learned that Palin could create 24,000 emails without engaging in scandalous behavior.

Many people in the "squishy middle" of American politics don't pay any attention to the Presidential race until the primaries are upon us. An effective refutation of the ridiculous attacks on Sarah Palin will open some eyes and set some people to wondering who arranged to mis-inform them so badly.

They won't be happy to learn that the Main Stream Media has indulged in such childish and unjustified attacks. I think Sarah is setting them up for a fall. Sarah is not a boxer; she practices a form of jujitsu. She uses the ill-conceived momentum of her attackers to thwart them.
