Jindal’s disconnect

Immediately after the movie theater shooting in Lafayette, Louisiana, Governor Bobby Jindal advised,

“The best thing we can do across Lafayette, across Louisiana, across our country, is come together in thoughts, in love, in prayer”.

It is, after all, easier to tell people to pray after a catastrophe than to do what may be needed to prevent it.

When asked if it might be time to change the weakest gun laws in the country, Jindal shifted the focus from Louisiana’s very weak gun laws to making those who are concerned about that to be only interested in pouncing politically when he said,

“Let’s focus on the victims right now. Let’s focus on their recoveries. There’ll be a time, I’m sure folks will want to jump into the politics of this. Now is not the time.”

When President Obama spoke of the need to do something after the June 17 shooting at the Charleston church, Jindal avoided politics when he said,

So do not feel ashamed or bog down viagra tablets uk if you are facing sexual problems.

Sexual dysfunction: people who are suffering from tadalafil cialis india sexual dysfunction neither experience pleasure nor make their partner feel satisfied during sexual activity.

Let him have this debate next week. His job as commander in chief is to help the country begin the healing process.”

Of course, that next week was long gone when the Louisiana shooting took place.

Why does this puppet of the NRA prefer prayer after the fact to taking actions that might prevent something?

Simply put, just as the NRA thinks, Jindal believes that now is not the time.

And as has been pointed out by many, if even with the deaths of 20 children shot in Newtown, Connecticut it is still not the time, perhaps we as a country have lost out ability to care.

And, considering the number of politicians who, while not wanting to offend the NRA, also glibly quote scripture when they should be considering jobs, the poor, veteran, and the homeless, this cannot be blamed on the loss of morals in this country because people want rights and religion does not get a free pass to avoid those rights and our laws.

The “moral” people are the most reluctant to take steps.
