| Marianne Williamson for Congress — ? |
In Natural Awakenings
Magazine, self-help guru and lecturer Marianne Williamson claimed that we
have the power to redeem our world. As a Democrat-turned-Independent, she is
running for Congress. Not content with changing the world one soul at a time,
she believes that she can heal Congress’ soul with a big hug of liberal-progressive
bipartisanship.

Her latest mailer, however, highlights endorsements from
leading Democrats: former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, retired Ohio
Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison, and former “Desperate
Housewife” Eva Longoria.

Granholm was replaced by Republican Rick Snyder, who brought
a limited government low-tax, lower-spending, and lowered union-influence
political culture to Michigan, engineering a roaring recovery. That’s real progress.
Kucinich is now a Fox News contributor who suggested that Obama should be
impeached, should he use military force in Syria without Congressional
approval. Kucinich is more limited government than progressive, to say the
least. Congressman Ellison claimed that Obamacare-related job losses are a good
thing because “Americans work too much anyway”. Most Americans are not working
at all or losing hours because of Obamacare. How is that progress? As for Actress
Eva Longoria: is Williamson’s campaign remotely serious?

In the same mailer, Williamson attacks “expanding corporate influence”
in politics. Doesn’t corporate influence expose more people to her books and
lectures, too? She then compares her independent status to Vermont US Senator
Bernie Sanders, a self-described socialist. If anyone wants to call socialism
progress, consider the bankrupted nations of Europe, fraught with tax fraud,
government unionism, and welfare-state profligacy.

Williamson also wants to “disrupt the political system” and “renew
our dedication to democracy”. The Constitution instituted a republic, frustrating
popular democracy as well as special interest elitism. The TEA Party movement
is disrupting business as usual in Washington.

To redeem Washington DC, Williamson should have run as a
conservative.
