A pro-life Catholic, Rhodes Scholar, free-market health policy guru, reform-minded college administrator and Bush adviser, Jindal bounced back from a close gubernatorial loss to become the first Indian-American in Congress since 1956.
In high school, he abandoned his parents' Hindu faith and converted to Catholicism.

Interesting, I don't recall ever hearing of him. He Converted to Catholicism in High School, I wonder who or what influenced him. I hope he would let us know about his conversion. . I notice that many Hindu's don't eat meat and are vegetarians because their Hindu belief prevents them from harming any living being where they are expected to respect all life and yet in India abortion is rampant; selective reduction abortion takes place where females are killed in utero and here in America most Indians vote for pro-abortion democrats. They will not step on a roach or eat a steak or fried chicken yet they continue to kill Humans made in God's image. Go Figure.
In the 10th volume of the ancient Rig Veda, the 162nd aphorism advocates the safety of pregnancy and strongly protests against abortion: "O! Pregnant women: Whichever monster approaches you with the evil intention to destroy your pregnancy/Whoever approaches your womb/Let fire destroy him ..." O! Pregnant women: Whichever devil kills the pregnancy that lives in your womb/ Whichever monster kills the fetus that is taking human shape by three months/ Whoever intends to kill the baby that is evolved in 10 months/ I destroy him in the presence of this sacred fire. ... Whoever carries you to a dreamy state of a fool and tries to abort your pregnancy, tries to kill your baby/ I destroy him in the presence of this holy fire."
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
I was very impressed with his speech, attitude & presentation at the convention. We need him. We need Zell to convert him.
He has a strong future in national politics.. would love to see this presence as a repuplican..
Thanks for thread/post alloysteel (okay, I am sure there is a "story" with this screen name" !!!)
I've seen this guy on TV with Thune last week. He is a jabbering idiot.
Michelle Malkin rocks.
She is to Ann Coulter as a good steak knife is to a razor blade.
I say that to the credit of each.

Obama is a socialist....so it makes perfect sense.
