Yeah, Jindal, Forment Revolution, That’s Smart
I don’t like Bobby Jindal and always will.
Somewhere in the back of his head, he thinks he’s better than you are and he slums to politic. I believe that. You can see that in his eyes. You will never convince me otherwise. And he’s prissy. I don’t like prissy people.
But, he jumped from prissy to dangerous in one sentence.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Saturday night accused President Barack Obama and other Democrats of waging wars against religious liberty and education and said that a rebellion is brewing in the U.S. with people ready for “a hostile takeover” of the nation’s capital.
The old, white, stingy Christians are playing martyrs again. We won’t let them divide America between the haves and have-nots. We won’t let them dictate what religion is the state sanctioned religion. We won’t let them make laws about who we can love. We won’t let them force our children to say prayers not of their own hearts. We won’t let them force us to have babies, work without equal pay, or ignore science. We won’t let them arm every nut in this country to go shoot our children at school.
And they are the martyrs?
Hostile? Really? So, Bobby, you on your tippy toes and Ralph Reed on his ladder are going to war against my government? Yeah, right, Skippy.
All those trans fats that he’s been eating to firm up his conservative credentials have gone to his brain. Besides we have had a lot of would be putsch leaders recently, and he looks even less likely than them.
1Republicans believe in encouraging religious liberty by preventing non-Christians from building their own places of worship, and outlawing atheism. After all, how can one be free if one’s neighbors are allowed to hold beliefs that were not sanctioned by the One True Faith (as determined by the Republican Party’s far-right fanatics)?
2A born and bred wannabe! Nothing more futile than that!
3Cut off federal funds from this traitor and see how fast he changes his freeking tune.
4Piyush, were you really a Rhodes Scholar? If so, you have to be the dumbest smart guy wandering the bayou. GOP, party of stupid, indeed.
5I’m worried about our country. I really am. Every side that has a side is lining up to say and do ugly things to everyone else. Doesn’t anyone ever look at what happens in places where people go out and blow up things and set cars on fire and all that? Isn’t there any way we can all work to prevent that?
6Publicans believe in Freedom… for everybody doing what Publicans want to do. For anybody else, time for an armed uprising against them.
No wonder they mention the Pilgrims often– another bunch who wanted religious freedom for everybody exactly like them. The ones who disagreed and got killed or thrown out to fend for themselves were the real martyrs.
Jesus said his followers would suffer, and the “Christians” are determined to tell us all that they’re suffering. Their other major delusion is that they’re doing what Jesus told them to do, when they’re often doing the opposite.
7Same guy who urged Republicans to stop saying stupid stuff a couple of years ago, isn’t he?
Maybe if he just didn’t look so darned much like Alfred E. Neuman I’d find him scarier, but instead I just keep thinking his mouth is out of sync with his words.
8Piyush is just trying to channel his inner Huey Long. His problem is that The Kingfish was a smart populist politician. Piyush, Our Little Mud Skipper, is just a sad little man trying to get on board some one else’s train.
9Right-winger creed: If I don’t get my own way 100% then I am a victim.
10Um, the Pilgrims left to escape persecution, the Puritans (easily the forbears of today’s GOP, the scarlet “A” is for “abortionist” now though, not “adultress” – and STILL always the woman dammit, growl cuss mutter) murdered people who didn’t toe their line. Said they were witches.
Do you ferment or foment a revolution?
A Rhodes scholar can suborn his intellect to religion just like anybody else, I suppose. It’s a greater loss IMO; he might have accomplished something useful. I’m pretty sure his chosen “user’s manual” has a little illustration about someone who didn’t even try to use their gifts wisely; also one about submitting to authority (disputed even! The jews LOATHED Caesar and the Roman empire) with a proper attitude; maybe little ol’ Piyush should consult that manual again!
11I wonder when someone is going to cross that line on inciting to riot? He seems a whisper away – just stating it without directly call for it. You know he’s blustering, but some folks might get the idea he is sounding the trumpet.
12Let’s do a “hostile takeover” of Bobby Jindal’s brain. Oh wait, he doesn’t have one. Nevermind!
13“people ready for “a hostile takeover” of the nation’s capital.”
I just hope it somehow involves the guys from Duck Dynasty. And if it’s televised, it’ll be the first episode I watch.
14Kristians don’t like Jesus.
15The war on education has been handily imposed a la sequestration which slashed funding, not just to schools, but to scientific and medical research as well. Conservatives have also imposed the revisionist history of the “War of Northern Aggression” and creationism as well. We’re dealing with terminal stupidity here and Jindal is out to exploit it.
16Although “foment” may be the preferred term in some circles, I think Jindal is probably “fermenting” revolution. Whatever he does, he always ends up with whine. (Apologies to the pun-averse.)
17See? Sequestration. Nobody even ever talks about that any more. Let’s foment a major improvement. Start asking every person you talk to “Are you registered to vote?” and hand ’em a card if they are’t. Yesterday something really funny happened here. I pulled into my driveway and a car whipped in right behind me and two guys got out. The talker said “Is this where the party is?” I said “uh, we could have one.” I ended up asking them if they were registered and which campaign they were working on. When they realized that elections require work I said “Just send money.” They carried in my groceries, gave me a beer, and I gave them bumper stickers and made them promise to vote. Everyone happy!
18Geez, Marge, you are a trusting soul! Glad your gentlemen callers were gentlemen after all – and I do hope they vote also, too 🙂
That said, these Faith & Freedom people need to STFU! They are definitely stepping on my last nerve with their stupid comments, uneducated rhetoric, and juvenile humor.
19They were afraid not to be gentlemen. I’m the age of their grandmother and demanded that they help with campaigns and vote. I just treat folks like my children. This is all about YOU TOO CAN DO THIS. I bet Juanita Jean straightens out a bunch of young folks too.
20Marge Wood, the GOPee has a number of st00pid ideas of which Sequestration was one. So many st00pid ideas, so little time to delineate the dumb. Really.
People are both hurt by and disgusted with federal government inaction by the Teapublicants. Bumper sticker moment. “GOP spent over $24 million to hurt middle class America.”
My next favorite bumper sticker: “Cheney broke Iraq and reaped $millions for himself and Halliburton.” Bad investment, trillions spent to reap their billions, and they sent the bill to we the people. For real, war hawks are a bad investment.
21Looking at that picture of Jindal, I always expect to hear “What, me worry?”
22Kool, you go Marge Wood! Jane and I had a minor incident with a gun freak today, while walking her dog. Honest, I did not hit him, just removed from his possession the penile substitute he aimed at us.
But yes, I did destroy his property. We reached a reasonable stalemate, he wouldn’t whine and Jane & I wouldn’t file charges for his attempted terrorism. And, yes, Jane and I turned the pieces of his rifle over to our local sheriff.
Lucky for us we are not in Clark County with the Cloven Hoof Bundy mooching militias.
23Weak-willed, ineffective, soft, mousy, mealymouthed, two-faced, those are all good words you could use to describe Jindal, and there are many more. Not prissy. That implies that you are insulting him for being like a girl, and girls are awesome. And prissy is a negative term that also puts down women when it is used. Please avoid it!

24PKM- Piyush was a Rhodes scholar? I figured him more of the roads scholar type or maybe a student at LSU as described by Randy Newman in the song Rednecks.
25How can you call a guy who personally exorcised a demon while at Brown a weak-willed and ineffective?
26So following the hostile takeover, who’s gonna run the place? If you think religious war is a mess in Iraq, wait till you see what a Kristian theocracy would look like — Baptists don’t agree with Southern Baptists, who don’t agree with Catholics, who don’t agree with Mormons, who don’t agree with Jehovah’s Witnesses, who don’t agree with Methodists, who don’t agree with Episcopalians, who don’t agree with Lutherans, who don’t agree with Presbyterians, who don’t agree with…well, you get the drift. Yeah, that’s gonna work out really well.
27donquijoterocket, at least that is what his bio depicts: “After graduating from Brown University in 1991, Jindal went to England to study different health-care systems as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University.”

Piyush is a fine example of being able to sit in a room and learn nothing. It was a face palm moment to read that he studied health care systems.
