My congressman is a Baptist minister. You should hear the steady screech coming from liberals in the district. LOL

Obama: cocaine, communism, documented lies, unqualified for office = OKAY!

Jindal: in the room with what may have been an exorcism = DISQUALIFIED!

Think of what Jindal could accomplish if he publicly stated,

"I'd like to put these VP nomination rumors to rest once and for all. While serving as VP would be a great honor,
I'd not be able to accept the office as I am not a Natural Born Citizen.
My parents became US Citizens after my birth so by the eligibility requirements specified in Article. II. Section. 1. I'm not eligible.

The fact that the CommiecRAT Party lied about their usurper Obama's status doesn't change the Constitutional Natural Born Citizen requirement."

It is only “controversial” among some Hindus I know who are hurt that he abandoned his parents’ faith and dropped his original Hindu name, Piyush.

I don’t know why converting to Christianity would be considered “controversial”. There are MILLIONS of Indians who are Christians living in India with Christian/Hebrew names like — Samuel, Nathan, John, etc.

No big deal over there really.

BTW, didn’t George Harrison of Beatles fame convert to Hinduism? Why no big fuss about that?

Chris Cillizza wondered in a post last week if Jindal had “too many known unknowns” in his past

Now, thats funny. Others can post the long list of documents that are off-limits with O, the man who never was, the man with no resume whose life is a virtual unknown.

I do believe in the reality of spirits, angels, and other re­lated phenomena that I can neither touch nor see.”

Jindal believes in God. O believes in Marx.

If he were picked, would it overshadow everything else about him?

Yes, it would. Jindal seems to be a very smart and effective administrator with a great understanding of economics. But the exorcism issue would quickly become the main topic of the campaign, driving the real issues (the economy, public debt and Obamacare) off the agenda and providing a great diversion for the Obama campaign. Jindal needs to continue doing real work in Louisiana.

I love that idea! Plus it could short circuit Rubio though if that be a plus or minus...

Indian Christians believe that Christianity was brought there by Thomas and the church there goes back to the first century.

Supposedly when the first Portuguese explorers arrived they found native churches already in place.

It cannot be any worse than the liberals and newspaper idiots who write about our 6th cengressional district congresswoman, Michele Bachmann! She’s such a target, yet she remains popular with the folks around here, and we simply laugh off the negative headlines the paper makes whenever writing about Michele.

Michele Bachmann has been a good ally to Tim Walberg. (MI-7)

Their stances on issues are almost identical.

There’s no “supposedly” about it, the Portuguese found indigenous Christian churches in India. Parts of India were Christianized by the Apostle Thomas (according to the uniform tradition of all the Eastern Churches, Orthodox, monophysite or Nestorian). During its early history the Indian church was under the (Nestorian) Church of the East, centered in what is now Iraq. After the rise of Islam cut them off from their mother church, they eventually reestablished contact with Christians in the Levant, somewhat bizarrely completely switching Christology in the process and are now in full communion with the monophysites (Copts, Ethiopians, Syrian Jacobites, and Armenians), well other than the ones who, under Portuguese blandishments, became Uniates, keeping their native liturgies and entering communion with Rome.

It isn’t like the Liberals have no religion of their own, because they do. Their god is Satan and their prophet was Marx. Moreover, they have a crackpot theology. Socialism is the gospel of envy and the religion of thieves.

First-time poster: You are so right: I was in New Orleans and the local ABC affiliate did a story on these left-coast filmmakers who did a short film Ivy League Exorcist that mocks Governor Jindal’s religion. And these people wonder why people of faith overwhelmingly vote Republican.

Jindal and Rubio should do a joint news conference where they Make the same statement.
