You seem to be the only one thinking along those lines....and your white wash thingie, sounds awfully racist to me. You know, the whole black face thing and all. So, are just a racist or bigot as well?

shameful

You are the shameful one, zanyzit. It's really low of you to attack someone for their religion. This country believes in freedom of conscience. We were founded on religious liberty and tolerance. Why are you so intolerant of Jindal's religious choices? What the fuck gives you the right to mock his spiritual journey? Do you know what is in the man's heart?

Jindal adopted the name Bobby in elementary school. He converted to Catholicism in high school. He didn't seek elective office until he was 33. Only a moron would suggest he made childhood decisions based on a desire to enter politics two decades later. And if you weren't so retarded, you would also know that as many Democrats as Republicans call themselves Catholic. So anyone trying to appeal to "white Republicans" would not pick that faith.

But I'm merely pointing out facts and logic, zanyzit. Libtards like you get sooo discombobulated when a smart Republican minority guy or gal gets popular. You act all huffy and offended. (Note the racist undertone - "Aren't we Dems supposed to have a lock on THOSE PEOPLE?") You will do anything to stop them. You will lie, smear, trample on facts and logic, even stoop to attack their religious choices. Bobby Jindal isn't shameful. You are.

First he changed his name to fit in. His name isn't Bobby Jindal it's Piyush Jindal. Then he changed his religion abandoning his faith to curry favor with the religious right.

Context:

The example of Jindal demonstrates the pressure to capitulate for the sake of political ambition. Jindal couldn't change his color, but he converted his religion to become less different from the dominant white Christians of his party.

His personal narrative amplifies his conversion to Roman Catholicism, even though he was raised Hindu by immigrant parents who were very active leaders in the local Hindu temple in Louisiana. He feels no qualms in making statements hurtful to the sentiments of the community from which he derives his "minority" card.

In a piece some years ago, he said when asked about his conversion: "the motivation behind my conversion, however, was my belief in one, objectively true faith (Christianity). If Christianity is merely one of many equally valid religions, then the sacrifices I made, including the loss of my family's peace, were senseless".

Presumably the conversion of his Hindu Punjabi wife to Roman Catholicism some years later occurred by her having coincidentally the exact same epiphany as he did.

To those of us Indian-Americans who are unwilling to obliterate our identity and get "digested" into the whitestream, Jindal is no trailblazer. He does not speak for us and merely uses his Indian-American status to gain leverage with Republicans who must now present a more inclusive face in order to remain relevant. His life underscores the fact that America has a long way to go before Indians and Hindus can project openly and without negative consequences the full range of their cultural and religious identity.

So you would be content had he not changed his name or religious preference, Had a background in the motel,convienence store or liquor business. Ran for office as a liberal and snuck into the country illegally instead of being admitted as a promising contributor to our society. Makes perfect sense to me.......

William Jefferson Blythe....kind of has a nice ring to it. Certainly not presidential material though but William Jefferson Clinton, well that sounds presidential and the future president thought so as well when he petitioned for the name change as a teenager.

Barry Hussein Sotero....we don't even have to go into this one.

Rudolph King....Gerald Ford sounds better doesn't it.



Another white wash for the OP.
