Jindal Says 'Rebellion Brewing' Against Washington

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Saturday night accused President Barack Obama and other Democrats of waging wars against religious liberty and education and said that a rebellion is brewing in the U.S. with people ready for "a hostile takeover" of the nation's capital.

Jindal spoke at the annual conference hosted by the Faith and Freedom Coalition, a group led by longtime Christian activist Ralph Reed. Organizers said more than 1,000 evangelical leaders attended the three-day gathering. Republican officials across the political spectrum concede that evangelical voters continue to play a critical role in GOP politics.

"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."

The governor said there was a "silent war" on religious liberty being fought in the U.S. — a country that he said was built on that liberty.

This is threatening, there is more religious radical groups like the Taliban and al Qaeda who is reeking havoc on the world. We should be alert and look at these people as terrorists.

Women are under a protection rackets with those thugs. Put up and shut up or we will rape and kill you. I have a suspicion that the right wingers terrorize their own families with their firearms to gain absolute compliance and keep them too afraid to afraid to run off. Seriously that is how I picture tea party homes.

'Feed' into the Christian Right's already prevalent pervasive paranoia of persecution. Pretty sure it gives them that idea of the the best defense is a good offense. They are radical enough without threatening them with fantasy.
