Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal will let a piece of gay inclusive legislation die this week:
An anti-discrimination order put in place by former Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco four years ago won’t be renewed by Gov. Bobby Jindal when it expires Friday.
The order – enacted by Blanco on Dec. 6, 2004 – bars state agencies and contractors from various sorts of harassment and discrimination by race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, political affiliation or disabilities.
Jindal said Wednesday that discrimination is prohibited under state and federal laws and he doesn’t want to create more special categories by executive order. He also said he worried it could cause problems with faith-based organizations’ ability to contract with the state…
Good thing Jindal swore last weekend that he would not run as John McCain’s vice-president, as many have suggested.

Wouldn’t want to interfere with faith-based organizations’ ability to harass homosexuals.
CHURCHILL-Y
The Hindoodoo only would care for it if there wasn’t already a law on the books that protected against racial or religious discrimination. But since it really only affects sexual orientation, the hell with it.
Boy his fellow Elephant drivers back home who still criminalize homosexual acts must be so proud of him. I hope the Cajuns do not re-elect his sorry ass and send him packing alongside those of his ilk back to Delhi.

He may think John McCain actually likes him, and the GOP excepts him…but to MANY – he LOOKS Like a “TERRORIST” …and NEVER would they even think about putting this “Terrorist Looking” guy on the VP ticket!

He seems so gay to me.

Nice try, asswipe (re: Churchill-y). He’s a catholic.
CHURCHILL-Y
Dear homophobe enabler Darky Paul,
Piyush Jindal (pronounced /ˈdʒɪndəl/)was born to Punjabi Indian immigrants Amar and Raj Jindal.
Jindal was a Hindu, but converted to Catholicism in high school. He has also offered his religious testimony before Baptist and Pentecostal congregations.
That makes him both an ethnic and religious hindoodoo and a politically convenient convert hindoodoo at least in name to Christianity in a Southern State.

CHURCHILL-Y
Your racism is showing!

As an Punjabi/American Indian, I’m not surprised at all. He’s got what he’s wanted thus far.
You also must note; he is a Republican.
nuff said.

Darth Paul: it’s actually much worse that he is Catholic: that’s most likely a biggher problem than if he was a Hindu. The Cajuns are very Catholic. Even though India itself has taken a very Fascit turn, the Hindus have culturally been pretty tolerant.
Can’t say the same for Catholics.
Also contrary to most people’s perception. Louosian has become a Fascist model in the U.S since the U.S with the Help of Milton Friedman(his last neoconservative project ) virtually every thing was privatized after Katrina:
thay’s why the Government failed to do anything to restore it or help ordinary citizens.
All of the Govt agencies and schools were shuffled off to Giant Corporate concerns , many of them Conservative religious. This has become the model Fascist state in the U.S..
If you read much recent Gay history you may be aware of the colusion between Capitalism and the marginalization of gay people.
Jindal is just doing the Religious Capitalists a favor: making it much more difficult to prosecute cases based on prejudice. Even if they got an elephant to step on his head, it would put a stight dent in the aweful things gouing on their. Remember milton Friedman ran Alende out of Chili and put butcher Pinochet in: better for Capitalist advancement to kill devators

I don’t think Darth Paul was saying, in any way, that his being Catholic is better or that being a Hindu worse for gays.
If i undertand his post correctly, he was merely refering to the ignorance of CHURCHILL-Y’s post….and boy was it ignorant.
M Shane
Thanks ; observation well made, I thought that it might be a departure!
Darth Paul
Catholics are indeed every bit as fascist as the next religious group- no love for them from me. Only degenerate trash like Crotchill-y are worse.

Pity New Orleans…
A WONDERFUL and progressive island in a cesspool of old-south bigotry and ignorance…
Louisiana has a lot to be ashamed of, least of which is its vampiric slave-master relationship to New Orleans.
And as far as Jindal, well, what can we say? LA has Jindal, but “we” have Bush (and for TWO (!) terms)… Shame for all…
I desperately await the day when the UNITED STATES can again remember its humanist/secularist roots and embrace RATIONALISM as opposed to superstition and fear.
Only then will charlatans like Jindal be exposed and discarded into the heap of demagogic trash where they belong…

“…to curry favor…”
Please don’t link Jindal with curry … it’s too obvious a pun.
Curry good … korma good … Jindal bad. Very, very bad.

The racism in some of these posts is as offensive as the governor’s actions.

By the way you did manage to get the one sorta handsome picture of this guy. I mean he is one ugly politician.
Also he is more Catholic than the Pope, he believes in exorcisms and pretty much anything that would embarrass your run of the mill baptized at birth Catholics. Converts can be like that.
