Bobby Jindal Protecting Louisiana Marriages From Pink Threat

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

Everybody calm down. Just calm down! I know what you're thinking: Louisiana -- that bastion of liberalism -- is gonna go gay!

Well, not on Bobby Jindal's watch it's not. And if you have any doubts, just look toward his incredibly forward-thinking Louisiana Commission on Marriage and Family...

Jindal's Commission is going to be looking at - and making recommendations regarding - marriage and family issues within the state. And a quick look at some of those appointed by the Governor to serve on the panel leaves no doubt that, in the end, the line-up will do nothing more than promote an extreme, anti-gay agenda that sets back, blocks and battles any attempts to recognize or respect Louisiana's same-sex families.

Among those who have been appointed by Jindal to serve on the Commission are Tony Perkins (who hails from Baton Rouge), the president of the anti-gay advocacy group known as The Family Research Council... Gene Mills, executive director of the far-right Louisiana Family Forum... Mike Johnson, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund... and numerous members of the clergy. All, Jindal has said, "have significant academic and/or professional expertise" on issues of marriage and family.

Whew! That's a relief.

But who will keep West Virginia safe?

LAST COMMENT:

gee, how do we think this oppressively stacked committee will decide? Hey - NEWS FLASH - if you want to protect marriage, make divorce illegal.

The 2012 GOP Presidential Nominee Will Probably Be White

POSTED BY: Matthew Tobey

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, recently touted by many as the Republican's great non-white hope, says he does not intend to run for President in 2012.

At a news conference Wednesday with Bob McDonnell, Virginia's 2009 Republican candidate for governor, Jindal was asked if he was interested in being president, AP reports.

His answer: "No."

Jindal said he's planning to run for reelection in 2011, something that would make pivoting to a national campaign logistically and politically tricky.

Well there goes the GOP's best chance to shed their racist image in the next election. That is, of course, unless my theory that Sam Brownback is a very light-skinned Haitian-American is proven true.
