Bobby Jindal Hints At Overthrowing The Government (Click here to read more)
June 22, 2014 By Manny Schewitz.
Over the last few months, Bobby Jindal has been drifting further and further toward the far right. Recent actions are part of what can only be seen as preparation for a long shot run for the GOP nomination in 2016, and last night, he made that quite obvious with the following remarks at the annual Faith and Freedom Conference:
.
"I can sense right now a rebellion brewing amongst these United States," Jindal said, "where people are ready for a hostile takeover of Washington, D.C., to preserve the American Dream for our children and grandchildren." (Source).
Yeah, Gov. Bobby "Stop Being The Stupid Party" Jindal used the "overthrow the government" line at a rightwing evangelical gathering - and that's not all. He also managed to take shots at President Obama and Hillary Clinton, because these are all things the people who still take Ralph Reed seriously want to hear.
.
"Are we witnessing right now the most radically, extremely liberal, ideological president of our entire lifetime right here in the United States of America, or are we witnessing the most incompetent president of the United States of America in the history of our lifetimes? You know, it is a difficult question," he said. "I've thought long and hard about it. Here's the only answer I've come up with, and I'm going to quote Secretary Clinton: 'What difference does it make?'".
Governor Jindal can't openly call for a violent overthrow of the government - he knows that. He also knows that in that scenario, he would be arrested for sedition and sent to federal prison. Yet, all Jindal and others who are seeking the primary votes of the far right have to do is hint at the possibility of angry mobs on the White House lawn and the votes and donations flow in.
