so what’s your gripe with an article that details bobby jindal’s religious journey? your response seems way out of proportion to the article and to this subject in general. people are going to vote for religious people for office because they are religious. it’s not prohibited by the Constitution and there really isn’t a darn thing you can do to stop them. so, again, why are your panties in a twist about this piece?

That it appeals to the same kind of religious hype and impulse which got us into trouble with Huckster Elmer Gantry and as the direct result of which we (the GOP and unhyphenated conservatives) now have a Democrat pol of unsavory personal character set to be our nominee for President.

I’m sorry, I don’t know how I can be any clearer or use more salient examples of the destructive and dangerous conflation of religion with the GOP and conservatism.

I’m no longer surprised about the truth of the phrase “Elephant In The Living Room”, and the capacity of people to deny the truth that is directly in front of them.
