Bobby Jindal Unveils His "Separate and Unequal Social Policy" for America

Bobby Jindal Unveils His "Separate and Unequal Social Policy" for America

BATON ROUGE, L.A. (The Nil Admirari): Speaking at a Republican fundraiser earlier today Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal announced how disappointed he was with many conservative politicians in the country for running away from the fight to allow bigoted religious Americans to decline service to the LGBT community. A potential GOP candidate for president, Jindal gave Americans a preview of what his campaign's vision for the county would look like by unveiling his "Separate and Unequal Social Policy."


"If a Christian business owner disapproves of the way someone else lives or looks that Christian merchant has the religious right to decline service to that person," Jindal said to the two hundred or so rich donors in attendance. The governor gave someone in the audience a playful wave as he continued, "In fact, I think my Separate and Unequal Social Policy is exactly the direction America needs to go in if we are truly going to be the land of the free. Otherwise, every American will be protected under the law and forced to treat each other with dignity and respect, and that is just not the American way."

"Because what the liberals don't want Americans to know is the Bill of Rights ensures American Christians the freedom to be as prejudice as they like so long as it is done because of a citizen's deeply held religious convictions," charged Jindal as he wrapped up his speech. The governor waited for the applause he received to end before finishing. "Well I can tell you here and now the radical liberal vision for America where everyone is treated equally is not my vision for America. My vision for America is a country where the freedom to be prejudice against other Americans is the ultimate expression of religious liberty just as our Founding Fathers intended."

Shortly afterward, dinner was served and the minimum wage waiter assigned to Jindal's table refused to serve the governor his meal. "My religion don't countenance me serving any black skinned individuals," waiter Darrel Mace explained to Jindal. It was later learned Mace was a member of a local Ku Klux Klan chapter.

he would have been killed by half the people that voted for him. No, talking like a white person woudl not help, because as recently as 1983 had the 1/16 law on the books, what is that, you ask? It means that even if you look paler than a Viking, and speak better english than Queen Elizabeth, if you had 1/16 of Black Blood, you had to register as black, because the Americans wanted to destroy Croele culture. Keep in mind, many classical musicans were creole, and when they got their status changed, they wound up playing the sort of brothels that birthed Jazz.

He's Indian, as in, his ancestors were from India. Having said that, you're right about the bigotry and racism. He wouldn't have been allowed in most businesses in the South before the Civil Rights Movement. I grew up in the segregated South, and there's no way he'd have been accepted, much less elected.

The really sad thing is that HE probably believes what he's saying, and so do lot of the people listening to him.

The good thing is Jindal will NEVER become POTUS! Thank god!!!

except whatever he thinks will get him ahead. He's an Ivy League premed major who adopted Young Earth creationism to help him get elected. He pushed for an overhaul of Louisiana's tax structure, then signed the bill to kill it after he realized how unpopular it was. Ditto for Common Core. He was one of its biggest cheerleaders, now he's trying to get out in front of the parade against it. He chased after all these companies and threw corporate welfare at them to get them to locate in Louisiana, now he's throwing them under the bus to try to appeal to social conservatives in Iowa.

He started out as a moderate-conservative, which is about as progressive as it's possible for a statewide politician in Louisiana to be in this era. Then he got presidential fever and sprinted to the right of Huckabee and Santorum. He's for Jindal first, last, and always. He's willing to burn down Louisiana in the process if it gets him ahead. In fact, that may be part of his calculation-if he brings down the wrath of progressives on the state, it will make him a martyr in the eyes of the crazy Right.
