Bad News In Louisiana
A self made man unaccustomed to asking for infrastructure to get himself out of poverty has been made governor of the state of Louisiana. This is bad news for liberal’s favorite victim - the poor - because apparently Bobby Jindal actually believes in the American Dream.
One reason Mr. Jindal was able to win votes across ethnic and demographic lines is that while he treats his Indian background as an overall plus, he won’t trade on it. He has in the past left the space for “race” on government documents blank. “I’m against all quotas, all set-asides,” he says. “America is the greatest. We got ahead by hard work. We shouldn’t respond to every problem with a government program. Here, anyone can succeed.
Sorry about the vulgarity in that quote. You know the part where he says “America is the greatest”. I know reading that kind of thing can really piss off some my more left leaning readers.
At any rate, now that someone that understands the power and strength of America is governor of Louisiana keep any eye on the state cause I’m willing to bet it will pull itself out of the liberal shit hole its be wallowing in for some time.

The man is Indian, not impoverished. His parents were graduate students when they arrived in America and I’m thinking they were probably rather smart to make it through the system. I’m also quite sure they valued education and raised him to value his education. If that were the case for all children, I wouldn’t have to worry about social programs. As it is not true, the only alternative to offering assistance is turning our head and walking the other way.
Oh, and don’t forget that Bill Clinton was a self-made poor man…. He still saw the need for helping others.
