Bob McCarty Writes

In a Front Page Magazine article this morning, Ben Johnson mentions Hillary Clinton’s history of talking to “dead spirits” such as Eleanor Roosevelt and provides a link to a 1996 article featuring audio clips (153K AIFF or WAV sound) of a CNN interview with one-time spiritual advisor to Hillary, Jean Houston. After reading the article and listening to the audio clips, I began to wonder who Hillary might be “channeling” these days.

The Democrat presidential candidate who, according to Johnson, “morphed herself into a gun-toting, whiskey-swilling church lady,” might try contacting conservative giants who garnered respect and admiration from Americans on both sides of the political aisle:

• Hillary might try to contact Charlton Heston, the actor who served as president of the National Rifle Association during the golden years of his life prior to suffering from Alzheimer’s. Why? Because he could help her win the pro-gun crowd. I can dismiss that possibility on its face. Heston’s proximity to the Almighty — he did play Moses in The Ten Commandments — poses, for obvious reasons, far too great a risk to Hillary.

• She might try to contact William F. Buckley Jr., the man regarded by many as the father of the modern conservative movement who, according to a House resolution read by Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) (See this National Review Online article), “led in a manner that earned both the respect and the friendship of his political adversaries.” Unfortunately for her, Buckley wouldn’t waste any portion of his eternity on a woman in whose court the likes of George Soros might be welcome.

• Finally, she might try to contact Ronald Reagan, another great conservative who gained political fame for having reached across the divide of partisanship and won support from individuals who would become forever known as Reagan Democrats? But it won’t work either. Hillary knows she won’t be able to pass the test of the trust-but-verify approach he made famous while winning the Cold War.

In the end, it appears channeling might not work for Hillary. Instead, she might just be better off turning off her spiritual “television set.”
