>>>so what’s your gripe with an article that details bobby jindal’s religious journey?
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.
So, is your solution (1) the "religious right", who were such a vocal and critical part of Reagan's base, should just go away (in which case we end up with a democrat lite candidate like McCain for the GOP and President Obama next January); or (2) the "religious right" should just shut up and vote for your favorite republican because where else do the have to go anyway?
