Translation: You think the opinions of people other than the man himself are better for factually describing the thinking of Mr. Jindal himself? That is a pretty bad example of facts...You have not proved even one of your assertions here. You have merely provided an article filled with the same kind of innuendo that you have provided yourself. You do know what the word 'facts' means, don't you? I was not asking for opinion when I asked you these very specific questions:
How do you know Bardell voted for Gov. Jindal?
Your comment was both about Mr. and Mrs. Jindal and you seem to be suggesting the only reason she was 'picked' to be his bride was because of her color. That was inappropriate to both of them, particularly so as you seem to not know whether what you have suggested is true or not. Do you know it to be true for a fact?
You talk of him wanting to 'assimilate'. What are you basing this on? Anything concrete? Did he actually say this? Have you based any of your commentary specifically regarding Mr. Jindal based on any specific facts?
Again, why do you automatically assume he is de-emphasizing his Indian-ness? He is exactly the same person he was when he lost his election in 2003. He didn't change his skin color, or hadn't you noticed?
You keep providing opinion. However, you do not show any factual provable specific basis for your opinion. Let me suggest that a person is able to decide for themselves how much of their background, race, religion, or ethnicity plays in their lives. Again, I think it is strange to accuse Mr. Jindal of not being Indian enough or of running away from his heritage etc. People are not always running away from something. Sometimes they are heading to something else. You have shown no specific facts to show Mr. Jindal is not what he honestly represents himself to be.

Klein2,
I think he was complaining about the public display of the billboard, not the wax sculpture in the musuem.

This is one of the few times when I hope I am not nearly right.
The thing is you have shown no factual basis to suggest such a confrontation.

It is a tree you planted with your confusing remark:
"My sarcasm is equal to those who make the premise that a great many white Louisiana Republicans like Bardwell do not harbor race-supremacist feelings simply because they voted for Jindal."
Bardell's racist feelings and those like him are not 'sarcasm', they are racism plain and simple. So, maybe you are barking up the wrong tree.
However, it doesn't seem like you really feel that way. You think he should act a certain way or he is not being genuine. You think he is 'acting' white, whatever that means.
Again, why do you automatically assume he is de-emphasizing his Indian-ness? He is exactly the same person he was when he lost his election in 2003. He didn't change his skin color, or hadn't you noticed?
You are also under no obligation to berate him for acting as he sees fit, especially when you seem to be judging his actions based solely on what his race is. Again, Bardell would seem to want to say similar things.
So, again, no facts. Thanks. That is what I thought. You have been unable to support the conclusions to which your opinions have led you, leading me to think your opinions and conclusions are way off base...

That is the only way to read it. I wonder. Would you also say President Obama married a person of color merely so as not to appear too uppity? How do you think either he or his wife would feel about such a remark? I am sure they would both feel it was inappropriate. As it would be and as it was in your post. Particularly as you still have not shown any basis in reality for your posting it.
You appear to have created your own fantasy in which Mr. Jindal acts and thinks as you would have him act and think. However, in all of your responses you have been completely unable to specifically back up anything you have written. That leads any reasonable person to the conclusion that you are just writing a story and that it has no basis in fact.
Again, I wonder how much you would say the same thing about President Obama? You have written a whole lot of 'opinion', but very little in the way of facts to back them up. Maybe you are reflecting on your own personal experience and projecting it on to this article and onto Mr. Jindal. I do not know. What I do know is that you have merely written what appears to be a fantasy with no basis in factual reality. Why should Mr. Jindal have to act the way you think he should act and not the way he has acted? Merely because he is a person of color? Again, that sounds like something Mr. Bardell might say...

With all due respect, your comment was both about Mr. and Mrs. Jindal and you seem to be suggesting the only reason she was 'picked' to be his bride was because of her color. That was inappropriate to both of them, particularly so as you seem to not know whether what you have suggested is true or not. While I completely agree with your comments about the racist named in this article and any racists who would share his opinions of racism, including Duke, I do not see any basis for your comments specifically about Mr. Jindal, who is a US born citizen, and as such find them quite unfair. You talk of him wanting to 'assimilate'. What are you basing this on? Anything concrete? Did he actually say this? Have you based any of your commentary specifically regarding Mr. Jindal based on any specific facts? It really does not seem like it. Mr. Jindal voiced his own outrage and it is mentioned clearly and plainly in this very article. It seems his attempt at 'assimilation' didn't stick as he plainly and clearly sees what a racist Bardell is.

How do you know Bardell voted for Gov. Jindal? Personally I would not be surprised of the pig did not vote for him based on the racism you are suggesting. I could very much be wrong, however, I find it hard to believe racists such as Bardell or Duke would put aside their racism long enough to vote for a person of a race, religion, ethnicity they did not approve of no matter how much that person made compromises.
I am sure you are right about his making compromises. I am not sure that they are the ones you have listed above however. I especially found the comment about his wife rather inappropriate. I mean, do you actually know the things you suggest are true for a fact?

yabits,
I don't know if you are trying to be sarcastic. However, your assessment of Mr. Jindal sounds much like something that the 'long serving Bardell' might suggest. Mr. Jindal has had the nickname 'Bobby' since he was a kid. He did not reject his name, nor has he changed it. Just because he converted to another religion does not mean he 'rejected' his original religion. Also, seriously what gives you the right to suggest the man married someone merely so that he would not appear 'too uppity'. I really hope that is sarcasm as I generally enjoy your posts. This one, however, leaves an extremely bad aftertaste. I am surprise you did not suggest Mr. Jindal also altered his skin color in order to win his last election.

Umm...this has nothing to do with Iraq or Israel (as Libertas is suggesting in a roundabout way). The area along the Iranian border with Pakistan has long been a dangerous one with its own insurgency. This is an internal Iranian problem as are the bandits that are also a constant concern in the area.

Sorry, should have been: If Keith Bardwell thought of people that way, we would not be seeing this kind of article. It wouldn't be necessary because he would have been thinking of people as people and not as 'races'.

seijichuudo9sha,
I don't know much about Louisana or any state per se, however, I assume voters were voting for the person, not a race or a party. At least, I would hope so. I think that is the way people should vote all the time. If Keith Bardwell thought of people that way, we would be seeing this kind of article. It wouldn' be necessary because he would have been thinking of people as people and not as 'races'.

seijichuudo9sha,
Borscht is correct. Please google Mr. Jindal's name. He is of Indian descent.

Ummm...Re-read the headline. It doesn't say 'Louisiana JP's halt of interracial marriage sparks tears of joy and dancing in the streets throughout the nation'. It says 'Louisiana JP's halt of interracial marriage sparks outrage .' As Pukey" points out, there are calls for his resignation and there is outrage, as there should be. While very imperfect, it does seem like many in the US are trying to maintain respect for democracy and human rights in spite of racists like this man.

Probably better or more clearly translated as 'non-intervention of criminal courts and the police in civil affairs. It was basically set up to prevent the police from invading people's privacy although their have been problems in the past with this being used as a reason the police could not to get involved in things such as domestic violence cases etc.

I know very well that they've done no such thing. A "10 year truce which can be used to fortify for the fight to win the final battle" (Hamas' words, not mine) is not what I am talking about. I am talking about true mutual recognition and a true peace. That has never been offered by Hamas.
Yes, so you say. Then again, you say lots of things that don't match with reality. BOTH sides have pushed each other to react at times.
Nope. That is not correct.

If you like it so much, you should play it better. My 'what if' game dealt in facts. Yours is your own made up story. However, it is nice to see you add the addition of gas chambers in Auschwitz to your story. Does that mean you finally understand and admit that you know people were gassed there? While it is not on topic here, that is wonderful to know. Does that also mean you now realize the Nazis were bad, too? That would be a great step for you, too.
The situation in Gaza, as horrible as it is, would disappear the moment Hamas decided to make peace with Israel. If you truly understood my "What if" game, you would have understood that. When Israel left Gaza to be run by the PA it was not anything like it is now. The Rafah border was being open to Egypt and had extremists not ruined things, Gaza would still have that open border and the others that were being talked about.
Well then, maybe it is time for both sides to recognize each other's right for their nations to exist and live side by side in peace. However, you are against that aren't you? You do not believe Israel should be allowed to exist. This is the reason more reasonable people have trouble making their honest criticisms of Israel heard. They get mixed up with the kind of nonsense that you suggest when you write how Jews are controlling Western governments and media and how top Nazis and Hitler were really Jewish. Again, how could anyone take seriously opinions on Israel when you continue to write things like that?
