"Spirit-guides" imply American Indians...

I took it a bit differently. I took it as the boorish, sophomoric author seizing any opportunity to drop in a reference to paganism because it's just so utterly cool these days, and such a kewl way to dis the repressive white male christian president and the repressive white male military industrial complex he represents that "feeds off the blood of our children."

but, hey, maybe I'm being boorish and sophomoric.

Paganism, true.

However I doubt he would be referring to the Aryan/Eurocentic pagans roots that inspired Adolph and his boys. Maybe other pagans throughout the world.

But as you said, it is kwel to be anti Christian, anti white male.
And what is cooler than the American Indian? A victim of white oppressors and environmentally friendly people living simply in tribes(communes)?

Given this, I really don't think that Mr. Bill Johnson of the Rocky Mountain News had any other "spirit guide" in mind. IMO

However, we all know what real "spirits" guides his way.
