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.

(19,288 posts)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.

(19,288 posts)'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.
