Bobby Jindal: Born Again Christian?!?!?!?!?!?

According to what Bobby Jindal says in the ad, is a “Born Again Christian”.
According to the Catholic Answers website
“When a Catholic says that he has been “born again,” he refers to the transformation that God’s grace accomplished in him during baptism. Evangelical Protestants typically mean something quite different when they talk about being “born again.” ”

But I didn’t have to go to that website, I just went to my Catholic wife who told me that Bobby Jindal is a flat out liar for trying to claim to be a “Born Again Christian”.
In an ad that is obviously in response to the ads the Democrats played in North Louisiana, but instead of clearing the issue up, Congressman Jindal has used more spin to confuse the issue even more.
If Bobby Jindal was being honest and proud of his religion, why wouldn’t he say “I am proud to be a Catholic” and leave it at that? Why would he use terms that can be confused? The answer is simple, he is just as guilty of word games as anyone else in politics. But this ad claims that Bobby Jindal will give us a fresh start? I think not.

There you go again, Dan! Attacking Bobby’s faith will get you nowhere! It will just keep blowing up in your face like a bad grenade! Keep it up, and Bobby may get 70% on election night!
I am not attacking Bobby Jindal’s faith. I am attacking him for being deceptive about his faith, there is a difference. Bobby Jindal is claiming to be a “born again Christian” to people who consider themselves to be “Born Again Chrisitans” (and I intended the difference in capitalization, because it does make a difference).
I cited “Catholic Answers” to prove the point that there is a difference between what Catholics see as being “born again” and what Evangelicals believe is being a “Born Again”.
If Bobby Jindal would be honest about his faith, then I wouldn’t call him on it. But he is being deceptive at the very least and flat out lying (according to my wife and my mother in law, both Catholic) at worst.
And if Bobby Jindal didn’t campaign on his faith, well, perhaps nobody would focus on it either.
Bobby Jindal says “Born Again Christian” rather than Catholic, because if he were to go into your typical conservative Protestant church and describe how he converted from Hinduism to Catholicism, people would still consider him to be a heathen and not a True Believer.
Hmmmm…… Piyush “Bobby” Jindal…. Enigma, Juggernaut, Puppet, or………………… Leader?
So now Louisiana has PBJ for Guv and meandering minds want to know; Messiah, Moron, Mannequin, Manipulator, or Magnificent Managerial Material? Ahhh……. Let me peer into the crystal ball………. (or give ye olde majic 8 ball a quik shake or 2).
Well, no answer popped up. Guess it needs public input, but one sure fire indicator I know of (or actually made) that will serve as a major meter to measure his intent would be whether or not within the next 30 – 45 days he causes, or is able to influence the provisions of aid posted on www.strongconcrete.com page 12 to start happening in real time terms. That would be the hallmark of a meaningful administration, the ability to make good on his words.
It is a simple as this; If the Guv would rather overlook those generous offers posted on that website and opts for the taxpayers to foot an inflated bill of goods they are going to be sold via the very same government instead, then really, what kind of a Guv is he/will he be?
There is your answer, and immediately after New Years, you will have your proof or his statement of true intent on anything where you, and/or your tax dollars can be concerned.
(If he or his affiliates have a problem with this position I have, just remember, it is not up to me to prove that I am right, but rather it is up to them to prove me wrong. After all, I was already out there working at making changes while he was still cracking textbooks that attempted to ‘school’ him on what change really meant.) So I guess the proof really would be in the peanut butter and jelly after all…. Good Luck Louisiana, because it really does boil down to the ‘Smitreaux’ a.k.a. strongconcrete challenge and that ain’t no crawfishin’ either no.
