In 1980, the Republican Party backed George H.W. Bush over Ronald Reagan. The Republican party throughout history hasn’t really been Conservative. Aside from Thomas Jefferson who put the Republic first and James Madison. The next in line would be Ronald Reagan.

McCain shared 13 platform items with Barack. How could McCain be considered anything other than a progressive?

Stop looking at the parties and look at the people running for Office. Compare their actions to their words.

In my book, Actions speak volumes over words.

In my humble opinion there was only 1 true conservative in this last election. That would be Congressman Duncan Hunter but the GOP kept him out of the debates.

Btw, my nickname is We_Need_Thomas_Jefferson
It’s not my fault it’s cut off.

The point I made with the Leftist rulers is a valid one.

If you understood the fallacy of the Parliamentary scale. The political parties can change with the wind what direction they go. Take for instance the Republican Party of Today and the Democrat Party of Today. Both have taken us to tyranny. They are both progressive by their vary nature in this time and place.

Those who say that Fascism and Nazism are right winged can never define their terms.

The Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Nazis all became a police state. Where the Oligarchy ruled the masses.

This is completely opposite of what our Founding Fathers had intended. Our Founding Father’s scale was a power scale. On the Far Left you had Ruler’s Law, on the Far Right you have Anarchy which tends to lead to the Far Left about 99% of the time. The Founding Father’s put us a little right of Center with the Constitution. Which moved us a little to the left, towards the middle of the scale from the Articles of Confederation.

Hitler told the Banks what to do, he told the health care what to do, and he told the Auto Industry what to do.

Obama is 3 for 6 thus far on what Hitler’s goals were.

Obama is doing the above 3 things, plus Obama has denounced America as a country of Christians.

So, right now, Obama tells the banks what to do, he tells the Auto Industry what to build, and he’s said we’re a nation of citizens – denouncing God.

The last 3 things would be Health Care control, Guns taken from the people which he attempted to do with that false report about guns leaving America and going to the Mexican Drug Cartels, and the last being the Olympics. Which Hitler successfully got and Obama has failed at.

Now overall, Obama is surrounding himself with Communists and Marxists. Wealth Redistribution is Marxism. Telling companies what to produce and how much is Nazism. Taking over GM and Chrysler is Fascism. Trying to take over the internet with Net Neutrality and pushing a localization radio programming is Communism.

I just thought it was hypocritical for Deepak to attack Palin for writing a book which will give her income. When Deepak is duping well off people and has written 50 books.

A liberal friend of mine was shocked by the very mean spirit of this article and sent me your link. From Deepak Chopra, who sells himself as Mr. Love & Light?

What you don’t realize, Mr. Chopra, is that the very disdain that liberal elites display for Mrs. Palin is a very large part of what is driving her popularity.

You have exposed for all to see just who the “mean spirited”, really are here.

Keep at it. You will make her a two term president.

If Sarah Palin even attempts to run for office, My take on this is give Sarah Palin more rope and she will hang not only herself with it, but the entire republican ticket.
Yes, there is a GOD!!

The subject is about Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin has done a good job of dividing the public party. A sad fact if you are in the GOP. If your democrat, then its good, because you know the GOP will lose if she throws her hat in her hat.
Frankly, speaking, she ruined the McCain ticket.

only a fool would even try to attempt to put Deepak Chopra in the same category as Hitler.

I hope this isn’t a sign of how bad our public school system is.

Valuable insight that could be reframed and reworded from the broader perspective of universal love.

Obama has divided this entire country. He is so partisan it’s disgusting. I’m an independent and can’t believe what’s going on. Everyone has the right to be heard and question the gov’t. He is not doing a good job as a leader.

The proof is in the pudding…have you read what’s going on here?? It ignited a firestorm of negativity…all this from a spiritual leader….well I don’t know about that anymore.

evil doings and shady past? Are we talking about Obama here? Rezko, Rev Wright, Ayers, etc etc. Listen people, they’re all dirty…all politicians are. It’s in their nature. Let’s not turn a blind eye to the one you like and accuse the one you don’t when they BOTH are just as bad. Stop being such hypocrites!

I am so relieved to see that other people are shocked by this! I hope to find a spiritual teacher that lives up to his teachings, Tolle maybe!

Abortion is legal and because it is, it is justifiable.

No strong GOP candidate would want her as their running mate. Go ask John McCain. He learned the hard way.

why not? When you are in the public eye, the public have the right to make their own opinions about one. To wag you finger as “disgraceful” is undemocratic and unconstitutional!

That’s why I don’t think Deepak wrote the article. He, of all people would know better than to do that ie ostracise a whole state, putting them in one box.

Well this American woman didn’t vote for Obama, but never saw him as a foreigner. Your views are clouding your judgement….clearly!
ha

Back to the real subject, Palin is only “popular” in my eyes as an embarrasment to our sex! We have so many smart women who are much better suited for office than Sarah Palin. Sarah leads a trail of evil-doings and shady deals in Alaska. Clearly, if I was running for office in the
top, I wouldn’t want her as my running mate. That is political suicide. McCain will never have another chance at office. She ruined it for him

It is well documented that by Oct 2008, Sarah Palin had run its course and many Republicans were not willing to vote for McCain knowing that if McCain died in office, this Sarah Palin would be president. Personally, I want a strong GOP leader with ideas how to tackle our issues, not someone who divided our party because of their lack of knowledge on the issues. I don’t want to see 08 repeated again, which is why she is not a good candidate for our party. History and current facts support this theory.

Try reading the article again. Deepak’s point on this demonstrates the contrary.

GOP moderates see Sarah Palin as a disastrous choice for presidency. The facts show, just as in Nov 2008, she will bring down our party again if she goes forward. The proof is in the polls.
You cannot win with cue cards or talking points, we need a real GOP leader who knows the issues inside out and has a strategy to fix them.

Crawl back under your rock. Beck is the anti-constituionalist and Reagan was the Anti-Christ. Jeezus, your type needs to move to Afganistan, you’d fit right in.

This isn’t “G”.

But this is a person who believes that Sarah Palin divided the Republican Party. This is all that she is good for, divide and conquer. As a Republican, she is not looked at favorably since we lost the presidential office due to her feeble mind and enormous ego.

There are many more intelligent women than Sarah Palin. Sarah has only demonstrated that she is a mistress of manipulation.

Wow, great post. Agree 1000%. Sarah Palin showed she has a weak demeanor. A desire for power with an ego to match that desire with absolutely no brains to carry it off which is why she manipulates and lies. Nobody yet has even addressed the lawsuits she leaves in the wake of her own employees in Alaska.
Sarah Palin is a blemish on current politics.
And I hold her responsible for dividing our Republican party. By showing her cracks, McCain lost the election. McCain made the wrong decision by choosing her as his running mate

I agree with previous poster. This person does show a very fundamentalist opinion by assimilating Deepak Chopra with Hitler. Very ridiculous. This Thomas_Je is really lost in space

Thanks for posting. You posting was good and what I agree to be as well.

Mr. Deepak Chopra voice is speaking from mainstream America. Majority of Americans do not want Sarah Palin to run for office. McCain lost the presidency due to Sarah Palin. Frankly speaking, as a Republican, I don’t want to see her run for office again. She divided up the Republican party and we are struggling to put it back together

And name some of her most deeming land marks?????? that would convince me she could be a leader of an entire country…The entire thing is absurd and at this point I don’t want to give anymore time to the discussion….

Peace,
Gyanama

You make me laugh….

We are all Holy, even if some of us don’t know it—and you know what they say about opinions….

Brilliant!

I don’t find this discussion hateful at all….it is good for stretching the collective mind, and hopefully out it’s limited boundaries to an greater understanding and unity……

I hear Sarah Palin is a good mother. But when watching her interviews she convinced me by her own admittance that she easily gets frustrated…She could not answer any pertinent questions that would display her ability to think skillfully as a leader of this country…I have nothing at all personal against Sarah Palin, she just has not made it at all evident that she could be a leader of this country….I don’t have any negative feelings really…I only admit that she is not at all meant for leadership of this country…..in fact I find the entire hype of it a bit amusing and it to be exactly the hype her promo’s may have been looking for to help sell her book….

Peace,
Gyanama

The topic is about Sarah Palin. Her strategy is manipulation by divide and conquer.
Thank you Deepak for posting what the majority of Americans believe.

There goes THE SHADOW again that Deepak speaks of. Blurring the lines.

We are talking about Sarah Palin, the one in which 67% of Americans do NOT want her to run for presidency.
If you prefer to include other politicians, let me remind you that the reason why McCain lost the presidency and there is a very strong belief in our Republican party that it is due to Sarah Palin.

Its interesting to see how “THE SHADOW” that Deepak speaks of, hides in this cloak of blurring the lines.

Assimilating “Deepak” with “Hitler” together is a very passive-aggressive insinuation. Very devious indeed.
You might want to exercise discrimination in separating content from context. Trying to draw a line via Guilt by association is the mainstay of fundamentalism.

I didn’t read “Truth” I read opinion and attack. Maybe not attack with fists and ammo but we have learnt from Deepak, what he has written in his article, is just as bad!

Thank you Deepak for sharing what the majority of Americans believe.

Narrow-mindness is found in those who try to throw stones on facts of TRUTH.

“You folks” is 67% of Americans who DO NOT want Palin to run for presidency.

Looks like you are out-numbered. Thank God for democracy.

TRUTH is power and sets us free. The rest. though they try to provoke by prodding and poking, have no power.

I am in agreement with your posting. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

the narrow-minded tactic is once again used by someone you disagree with (Deepak) as siding with “Hitler”.
Come come. Only those who do not know the truth back themselves into this corner full of hate.
Your commentary is powerless and bears no truth.

Occasionally I am in disagreement with his spiritual commentary, but that doesn’t mean I outcast him . I still respect him and have learned and reflected many a time on his writings. His reality is his reality. And I feel grateful for the posts that reflect positively to me and let go that don’t.

And as for the Sarah Palin – Deepak has given her too much attention that she is worth. I would regard her as the political version of Paris Hilton which is Completely self absorbed and narcissistic; she thinks that this is all a game. Her strategy is nothing but divide and conquer.

For Deepeak to call someone else mean-spirited doesn’t mean he’s espousing fear like the talk show hosts and the right. Conversely, he is saying they’re the ones igniting fear and ignorance, and collectively we need to quench that threat for a harmonious existence real or imagined.

You just completely contradicted yourself. He’s no better than the talk shows then.

You are absolutely correct. He has let me down as well.

My peaceful solution would be to ask him not to post another negative essay about anyone. Keep things positive. It obviously has turned ugly here…and this was all his doing.

So you’re saying he’s negative too! Thanks! He opened it up to discussion with such a negative and ugly post about someone he does not know personally. Only based on the media and her politics. She’s a politician…he needs to take it for what it’s worth. They’re all liars. Yes, even Obama. I’m remarking on his words about Palin…He’s attacking her personally. Who’s worse?

If that’s so true…then why don’t you see that with Palin? Hmmmmm

Deepak is a human being and he has the right to state his opinions like the rest of us. Thank goodness he doesn’t hide behind the veil of an expected decorum of enlightenment and sheds light where there is darkness. Our souls are of equal value and should be treated as such. But in the arena of ideas, ignorance has to be dispelled and that is all Deepak is doing no matter how difficult it is for some to stomach.

We see it differently…

I see the Good evident now in the lives of people I know. I see good in my community too, and that is by far a true way mark over reading the newspapers for me…

I hugely support the good that Barack Obama is making evidently clear, in my life and in the life of many others…..

I am not at all worried about the future while looking at the good that is being done and that I am conscious of in this moment….

Love and Good Will,
Gyanama

Then why do you add to the negativity with your comments about him? What is your peaceful solution?

It is clear that she is not in touch, nor conscious of Global evolutionary impulses-

We need reform if we are to make progress….We need individuals leading this country who understand what that means.

just listening to her interviews makes it clear that she may be a good mother and house wife and person in general, but she has no quick thinking ability and solutions to share when asked questions about foreign policy or any other major issues that concern our country right now… she gets easily discouraged in interviews and even by her own admittance to that fact. And these are just simple interviews…what happens when a real challenge appears??

maybe because we don’t come here to hear negativity and politics. Look what he’s done…many are upset and it’s not what we come here for.

Funny…he can say what he wants but heaven forbid we challenge this administration.
I’m not buying that the so-called stimulus package has done a fraction of what it was “supposed” to do. I see and read the news everyday and it has convinced me otherwise. Unemployment is over 11% and rising. Nice try though…but no. Sorry I just don’t buy it. What they’ve done, our children and grandchildren will pay for. I hope he does better. I am rooting for the guy, I just don’t think he’s doing that well.

I live in the Netherlands.

I have purchased a lot of Deepak’s books because they appealed to me.

I wonder what the fuss hereabove is all about.

Everybody in the U.S. who has managed to become a celebrity has written his/her memoires.
It seems to be a hype in your country.

Why bother to criticize?

You either agree and buy the book or you disagree and buy the memoires of someone like Bill Clinton or Hillary, or George W. Bush who is also writing his or has already published them.

Lol, I am writing my memoires too, but not in printed text but in a 3D virtual picture album in the form of a four quadrant labyrinth.

Remember one thing though, once you start to write memoires you are accepting that your voice is not of importance anymore in society.

Therefore, this is my last comment.

I thoroughly enjoyed every discussion here for the time I have been present.

Best wishes and good luck to every one with their memoires 🙂

Mieke/Heartphone

Ultimately they are all Perfect ideas of God, and so are you…..
and if that thought upsets you too, that is your choice….

Peacefully,
Gyanama

Deepak has only tried to shed light on one of the trillions of illusions existing in the relative world.

Aren’t you both expressing your freedom of beliefs and values right now….

Hi….

I don’t feel that way at all…Things may “appear” for some individuals really tough right now, but I think our current administration is doing an awesome job…..
Here is just one small example of the many good things I have witnessed so far…

Last year before our new president Barack Obama came into office, the very community that I live in had many many houses for sale….This summer my husband and I both became aware that there are hardly anymore for sale signs our there and sold signs appearing everywhere…We had several close neighbors that we personally knew that were blessed after the stimulus package was passed and sold there homes and were able to simplify and prepare there lives for retirement. The families who bought these homes were also very blessed that they were able to purchase them with the money down needed, provided by the stimulus package ….

Also- the credit card bill that was passed in May has already begun to help many individuals to not be taken advantage of any longer by gross hikes in interest rates and greedy tactics that confuse many card holders…..

I see so much good happening….

Love,
Gyanama

Apparently, Deepak sides with Mao, Marx, Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, and Obama.

Bravo on showing your true Anti-Constitution colors.

Psst – Did you protest Reagan before you got people hooked on your books for what? Cha Ching Money.

Jesus Christ threw the money mongers out of the church and let his feelings well be known about the hypocrisy of the Pharisees….Exposing error can really be shocking, but let’s face it, God’s laws of adjustment are always working, and sometimes it is through human beings having the courage in voicing those errors where people begin to really see the erroneous behaviors that block the soul qualities of mankind ….

Error found out is two thirds destroyed, and the last third pierces itself, for the remainder only demonstrates and gives scope to higher demonstration…..MBE-

I think of John Adams, he was not at all diplomatic nor carried the gentle finesse that Jefferson did, yet we needed to hear the error of the British hold on our country so that we could take the human footsteps that gave us our freedom.

Erreonous behavior can come through all of us….It is ultimately an impersonal force that at times simply needs to be exposed and corrected….The soul of every human being is perfect…including Sarah Palin….,but she has(like all of us) made some mistakes that need exposing so they can be corrected….

Love,
Gyanama

Deepak is not passing judgment on Sarah … he is guiding his people (you and me) toward a more spiritually rewarding future [and away from people who guide us in the any other direction].

And isn’t that why we all come here everyday?

Isn’t that exactly what we want from a spiritual leader? … to force us to ask ourselves questions we are not particularly comfortable with, in order to have a more rewarding existence.

“True Spiritual Leaders” don’t pass such JUDGEMENT on others….Huge mistake. I sure thought he was much wiser than this. Very sad to see this…..

Exposing error in shocking ways is often the wake up call we all need. Who on this website can say they have not had a shocking wake up call that was not at first appreciated but that in the long run, was a good thing…..

I personally can attest to a few shocking wake up calls that today I am very grateful for…..

Love,
Gyanama

And you have to admit, very clever tongue and cheek title to the article…”Fooling none of the people all of the time”
Maybe that said it all….

Love,
Gyanama
