Extreme Left-Wing Ideology Tough Sell Nationally
Is anything better than seeing the left in full freak out mode? Sarah Palin is driving them absolutely nuts, and it’s just so satisfying to watch. For example, just take a look at all these “nefarious” things Governor Palin supports according to Deepak Chopra at the Huffington Post:
- Small town values — a denial of America’s global role, a return to petty, small-minded parochialism.
- Ignorance of world affairs — a repudiation of the need to repair America’s image abroad.
- Family values — a code for walling out anybody who makes a claim for social justice. Such strangers, being outside the family, don’t need to be heeded.
- Rigid stands on guns and abortion — a scornful repudiation that these issues can be negotiated with those who disagree.
- Patriotism — the usual fallback in a failed war.
- “Reform” — an italicized term, since in addition to cleaning out corruption and excessive spending, one also throws out anyone who doesn’t fit your ideology.
What? No mocking references to religion? Can’t say I blame them though. If my candidate had a skeleton like Reverend Wright, I’d avoid any mention of the subject too. But overall, it’s a pretty good synopsis of why the extreme left-wing Barack Obama is sinking in the polls. These guys just don’t get that we’re a center-right country, and this is a national election, not a Cambridge City Council run.
