Tearing down Bobby Jindal
There are few things that drive the Left crazier than minority conservatives. We’re race traitors, parrots, puppets, hypocrites, House Niggas, Aunt Tomasinas, whores, and sellouts.
Liberals only love American Dream stories when minority politicians turn out like Barack Obama.
American success stories like Bobby Jindal, however, are their worst nightmare. It’s a slap in the face of leftist identity politics for a minority conservative to succeed in politics on a platform of faith, self-reliance, free market advocacy, and individual responsibility. And to succeed in the South? Intolerable!
Asian Week stooge Emil Guillermo penned a resentful screed today launching a tired, effete attack on Jindal as a “Man of No Color.” He cannot stand that Jindal rejects 1960s-era tribal ideology:
The politics of color is changing in America. For people of color, the best path to success may be to become a “person of no color.”
I caution people in evaluating the apparent success of Bobby Jindal.
Jindal, the first Indian American in U.S. history to be elected governor last Saturday — in Louisiana of all places — is what I call a “man without color.”Normally, you’d describe a person “without color” as white, but even white is a color. Jindal’s a guy who seems to aspire to being totally colorless (that’s not to say bloodless, though we are talking about a professional politician here).
In the past, this sort of character might have been labeled a chameleon, but even that’s not quite Jindal.
He doesn’t change skin tone. His skin is still as dark and constant given his immigrant Hindu parents from Punjab.
But the changes are they’re on the inside, which makes the constancy of his skin tone a tool of deception.
When you see a person of color, you expect someone with similar values, views, beliefs — someone in touch with the emerging new majority. With Jindal, you get someone who very deliberately and proudly downplays his race in order to seek his own individual path. That kind of independence under certain circumstances may be commendable. But only if you happen to agree with his ideas that range from free-market health care, intelligent design instead of evolution, anti-choice and a fenced-in America.
When did Newt Gingrich die and reincarnate?
Dinosaurs like Emil Guillermo can barely hide their contempt for assimilation.
When Jindal won, even the New York Times saw it fitting to remark how the first words from his mouth weren’t about his historic ethnic victory. It was about LSU’s defeat of Auburn earlier that day. It’s an old trick, a la “We’re all part of the same team. Just us honky-tonk footballers here!”
Horrors! Jindal’s talking about football instead of wallowing in anti-imperialistic self-pity!
This is classic crab-in-the-bucket sydrome, where the collectivist minority crabs try their mightiest to yank any other crab who dares to climb out of the ideological pail. Diversity, as always, is skin-deep in their world. Unable to maintain an intellectual stranglehold on minority conservatives, self-satisfied liberal racism cannot help but rears its ugly head:
The fact is color still matters in politics.
Maybe not to the new governor of Louisiana, whose real name, by the way, is Piyush Jindal.
He adopted the name Bobby because he liked The Brady Bunch. Now he’s created a unique modern character in Asian American political history: “Uncle Bob.”
Who are the real racists? Who are the enemies of progress?
When liberal bigots have nothing left but to sneer about your given ethnic name, their game is over. The bucket has been toppled.

Wow…!
The leftists just get more and more…and more vicious.
So Jindal’s “real” first name is Piyush.
So what?
The name of one of my grandmothers was “Sapphire” in the original language.
But, she was referred to as “Sophie” by her non-immigrant co-workers and neighbors.
Again, so what?
An aunt of this same grandmother married a fellow whose name in the original language means, literally,
“sixty needles” (I kid you not); however, the Anglicized, Americanized name had only four letters.
Yet again, so bloody what?
This leftists’ viciousness has to exposed, and denounced, loudly and nationally over and over and over again - in every instance.
I have worked with many people of Indian descent in my career, and, to a man, they are first and foremost, proud to be Americans.
They embody the spirit of true immigrants; the spirit of those Eurpoean immigrants of the 1800’s and 1900’s.
What really drives the left crazy is the thought of people immigrating to the USA aho catually love the Country. People who want to assimilate. People who want to give back to their new homeland rather than take. People who view the US as a land of opportunity, and who are willing to work hard to achieve the American dream, rather than leaching off of the social welfare programs we offer.
It drives them crazy that there are people in this world who want to be Americans. Are proud to be Americans. And who will continue to serve America in the tradtions of the forefathers of this Nation.
What surprised me about the diatribe is someone from the Indian culture setting up those of Indian descent as a race baiting class of permanent victims. Wonder if Al and Jesse have their playbook on loan?
I can’t imagine Jindal hasn’t seen crap like this before from the left. It should be amusing that in a state that (the MSM loves to note) voted heavily for Klansman David Duke, the liberals are the ones using Duke’s playbook to take down their opponent
you know when guys who have names that would sound fine with the title grupenfuehrer in front of them (obermann)
make fun your name then you’ve won.
The plantation masters just can’t handle this emancipation thing.
I’m seriously speechless… WOW.
That is the question to be answered. What do they think progress is? It’s not advancing any person, it’s punishing whitey. Who can punish Whitey the best? We can, if you give us your votes.
I’m so tired of this kind of politics. It’s actually preventing racial harmony, in order to preserve the angry oppressed victim, who is easy to motivate and manipulate on election day. The more miserable and hopeless some people are, the better for the Democrats.
Wake up, we are all AMERICANS first!
Wow. I suspect Martin Luther King, Jr. would see Mr. Jindal as the poster child for what his “I Have a Dream” speech was all about.
It might do Emil Guillermo some good to re-read that speech, assuming he’s ever read it in the first place.
Emil Guillermo is such old news. Haven’t heard his name in years. They must wake him up for Halloween.
Hmmmm…..sound like bit of racial profiling there. Why is it okay for Libs to do it by not airport security?
.
This not only condemns Jindal, but everyone who had the audacity to vote him in– pathetic!!
#4 billhedrick:
Your comment is certainly not the first such that has been posted about Mr. Olbermann’s name.
Michelle:
I would like to politely, but firmly, advise against allowing to be done to Olbermann and his name exactly - exactly - what the leftists do, and what is rightly being criticized by participants at this blog: the leftists’ juvenile, sneering, silly tactics of name-calling, smearing, ad hominem attacks.
Not to mention that these attacks smear the names of folks like Eisenhower, Pershing, Nimitz, and I don’t know how many other high-ranking American military officers; and I would assume innumerable kids with German heritage that served as enlisted men and junior officers in the various branches of the Service in America’s wars.
Unlike shooting dead someone who is firing at us, in the case of name-calling we not only don’t have to respond in kind..it is actually counterproductive.
Why, oh why, give the leftists something to hit us with?

So what!? Ethnic names are often times too tricky to pronouce, besides, it has to do with ASSIMILATION INTO YOUR NEW COUNTRY.
Sometimes I don’t believe its so far fetched to think the racism that does still exist in this country is either perpetuated or fabricated and the utilized by the left to oppress their voter base.
Crab-in-a-bucket or Victimization. Flip flop Flip Flop. Either or, depending on your party affiliation.
Sickening.
I think we all recognize the quote.
Epiphany time…
It really hit me a few days ago that the left is all about Groups/Society over the individual.
Commutarianism (Hillary’s word) vs. Individualism.
The Community (or group) over the individual.
How anti American can you get?
He does NOT fit into the group identity, and has made it as an individual, and therefore needs to be dismissed and insulted.
The Left no longer celebrate the American story of someone making it on their own with hard work… now they have to do it as part of a group…
Amazing that he would be so blatant about it. Usually it is a lot more subtle.
I am not railing against obermann as a crypto-nazi, simply pointing out the glass houses and rocks conundrum. Being a large girthed fellow, I won’t have a “no fat chicks” window sticker for example.
Here is more from his venomous ramblings…
I think its really called freedom, independence, self-determination, and the “pursuit of happiness”. No wonder these liberal bigots don’t have a clue.
What’s this country coming to.
“Crab in the Bucket”
outstanding. i have seen that concept at work.
True story: back in ‘76 or ‘77, when i was a wee small yoot, my family was on summer vacation in Coos Bay Oregon, throwing crab rings over the pier.
at the end of the day we had a bucket full. I, then a sensitive 11 year old, couldnt grok the concept of cooking up those cool crabs to eat.
so when we got back to the campground 5 miles from the water, i looked at the crabs doing their “crab in a bucket” thing trying to escape. i admit to getting a little verklempt, and so i set the crabs free into the grass near the campsite. dont ask me how a crab is supposed to walk back to the water, but…
anyway, the pot is boiling, & mom comes out of the motorhome to get the crabs. I am sitting at the picnic table, still un-nerved by the process about to unfold. Mom looks into the empty bucket and says “where the hell are all the crab?”
in my best 11-year old revolutionary voice i said, “i set them free in the grass.”
D’oh! So, my family spent the next few minutes on a crab roundup, and got them back into the pot and onto the table to eat later that night.
i had spagetti.
to their credit, my east coast-bred parents did not even attempt to punish me. instead, for the rest of our vacation, my mom, dad and two brothers mocked me without mercy.
every piece of fried chicken became a crab to be set free, as did every hamburger or hot dog or roasted marshmallow.
that’s my “crab in a bucket” story.
we now return you to Gunsmoke.
Interesting, that if you are a person of color, you must be liberal. If you are not then you must be really self loathing and clearly there is something really wrong with you.
I guess this Guillermo doesn’t really know the history of the ‘party’ he stands with,now does he? The real history of the democrat party has escaped him. Or maybe he is not the educted, enlightened and elitist he thinks he is?
Hey Guillermo check out this book, it might educate you in why so many ‘people of color’ are turning from the values and beliefs you have. I am just offering this suggestion as one ‘person of color’ to another.
Regarding my thoughts on Guillermo’s opinion: I find these statements beyond hatred and extremely racist. This double standard must be stopped and the real racists and race baiters must be held accountable.
I said it yesterday, but I’ll say it again.
The Democrat party is, and has always been, the party of racism.
They changed the words & the tune, but they’re singing the same song.
BTW. I hate it when ignorant people fling “Uncle Tom” around as an insult. Uncle Tom is one of the most noble characters in American literature. His motivation was never helplessness or ignorance or sucking-up or fear. He was a brave and loving man who gave up a his life for the salvation of others.
He is the Christ character in the book for goodness sakes. Calling someone an “Uncle Tom” is calling them “Christlike.” Anyone who thinks that’s a smear is just proving their own ignorance or hatefullness.
Oh, and the author is getting torn up in the comments.
That’s SEC country. He better talk football.
oops *educated.. typo
Bingo! It amazes me that “people of color” (African Americans) cling to the dimocrap party like a life line. If they would just study history…
Read this book and it all becomes clear you statement is true to the core.
Romeo,
Liberals usually want both, just like conservatives. They are very keen on communitarianism, yes, but also very keen on individual freedoms when it comes to sexuality and related matters. The difference I believe, is that Conservatives want a balance between freedom and social concience with an emphasis on personal responsibility, while the liberals want absolute personal freedom coupled with economic equality, and seem to want the government/instituational structures to ensure both.
I believe that part of the difference between the two may boil down to whether you believe human actions are primarily dictated by the “system”, or whether the way the system works is due to how people within the system act. Is society a thing in and of itself, or is it the sum of human interactions? Of course, it has a little of both, but people tend to think of it as primarily one or the other, I think.
Alexis de Tocqueville pointed out the equality and liberty are two inherently opposite goals - since men are not all equal in abilities, liberty will allow the better to outstrip the less talented, and give a head start to their offspring, resulting in greater and greater inequality. Further, people being loath to admit that those who do better are more talented, will increasingly tend to restricted liberty in favor of equality. It is this contradiction that is behind dictatorial “equality,” such as Communism, etc.
Liberals tend to want both a LOT of both equality and freedom, without much thought to how the two can exist at the same time, which explains why they can be so self-contradictory. I think conservatives try to balance the two, with an emphasis on liberty at the price of a good bit of inequality.
Add to this that the liberals seem to believe in the mallability of human nature, as noted earlier, so that they believe that if they can manipulate society in the right way, they can have both near-absolute freedom and near-absolute equality at the same time, whereas conservatives believe in the relatively fixed nature of human nature, and are more willing to accept compromise in certain areas- we realize that freedom must be given up for the good of the community in terms of national defense, but do not wish to give up liberty when it comes to economics, child-raising, etc.
I haven’t come up with an explanation of the difference between liberal and conservative thought that completely satisfies me, but that is what I have so far.
The knucklehead points this out as though he’s ferreted out some hidden truth Jindal hopes to keep hidden.
In fact that was the whole freaking point of his campaign.
As a colorless LSU alumnus living in SoCal, I can only respond by saying,
“Hot Boudin . . . kush, kush, kush . . . c’mon Tiguhs, push, push, push!”
Michael Steele and J. C. Watts … two Republicans I would support quite readily … and neither of them come close to fitting the ethnic profile the Dems would like to present about who these men are … the party of slavery wants illegals in order to create a new class of slaves … slaves to the largesse of the cradle to grave support structure that the Dems are trying to force down the throats of the people of this country …
Two things the Left advocates (in theory), free speech and racial equality for all. And they demonstrate their adherance to these principles by shouting down speakers so they can’t finish a speech and bash non-white conservatives as being people of no color.
The amazing thing is they can’t see the irony here. I was watching o’reilly last night (don’t say it) and he had a woman on that was defending the cretins at Emory for shouting down David Horoitz (sp?). And this woman actually said it was because these “kids” had the right to free speech that there was nothing wrong with their behavior. And Bill just could not get her to admit that they were denying David his free speech rights.
Boggles the mind.
In the words of an Arab proverb, the dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.
I just tried to post a comment and the Asian Week would not accept it. It came back as a “duplicate comment” message. Apparently Emil can’t take the heat. A racist and a coward-what a surprise!!
I suppose this clown would prefer that Bobby Jindal behave like ‘Apu’ from the Simpsons…..
Juding from the comments, it doesn’t appear he’s won any fans over at Asian Week, either.
Stinkin’ leftist pansies!
Wow…I have never read a more concise description of racial prejudice than that.
Well, I look just as Teutonic on the outside as my screen-name would imply. But, silly me, I am American on the inside.
Please…someone come along and call me a master-race traitor. Just once. Please?
Bobby Jindal is the newly elected Governor of the state of Louisiana. And just who is Emil Guillermo. A nobody that’s who, who writes for a nothing rag.
Yeah, that colorless thing sounds like a real tragedy doesn’t it?
My Nisei grandfather’s birth certificate reads “Hideo.” I was always told that that was his middle name. It wasn’t until after he died (eleven years ago) that I learned that his “first” name, Barney (long before the purple dinosaur existed), was one that he chose while he was a teenager in the 1930’s to - gasp! - sound more American, and each of his siblings had done the same exact thing!
The extreme irony of that name change is that my grandmother, who was given an American name at birth along with a Japanese name, was only listed with her Japanese name in the internment records. Anyone in our family, at least, who was born here and had a legal name that was familiarly American, was not listed that way in the evacuation records of the era, and I really believe it was an effort to make them sound more Japanese than they really were. But, of course, the government would have NEVER done that.
I am so pleased that Governor Jindal was elected and hope that he ignores this whole stupid attack, because Michelle is right - if this is all they’ve got, they’ve got nothing.
Maybe that’s because he’s more concerned about his duties and his constituents than about racial differences. Maybe that’s because he sees himself as an AMERICAN - not a hypenated American.
So what is said here is that it’s expected that people of color all think alike - as long as they are LIBERAL in their thinking. Anything less and they are not true to their race and politically motivated.
This is absolutely SHAMEFUL!!
It is absolutely 100% correct - the institutionalized racism in 2007 comes from the Democratic party and the liberal mindset.
Their mascot of an Ass is truly prophetic.
I doubt that Pyush is all that freakin hard to pronounce, that being said, he can name himself Barack Hussein for all I care.
The name doesn’t make the man. Only a fool would judge a man by his name as opposed to his record.
Celebrities change their birth names all the time, and politicians have never been all that different from celebrities. Often they’re one in the same thing.
Am I misreading his statement or is he actually saying “I have a dream…that someday my children will NOT be judged by the content of their character but by the color of their skin”?
Wow! I have always been told by progressives that it is wrong to stereotype people by skin color.
Do liberals really believe that people of the same skin color should always think the same? Is that why they only measure diversity by skin color and other superficial characteristics?
Liberals claim to value diversity, but at the same time they are actively purging conservative and religious thought from our schools and universities. Do they welcome diverse thought when it comes to global warming? Do they welcome diversity when it comes to political thought? They welcome diversity on the outside as long as everybody thinks like them on the inside. Yes, diversity is only skin-deep in their world.
Imagine if some of these things had been written about Barack Obama!
Emil Guillermo’s attitude is precisely the reason that many minorities are still facing problems in this country. They will forever be victims who believe that everyone is out to get them.
Dear Ms. MaglaGONG,
Enough already! Would you and Piyush and all the other self-hating brown people get over the “I can do it myself without ‘massah’ helping me” attitude and go to the back of the bus the way the Good Lord and Upper-Class Liberals intended? When we want you to succeed we will tell you when, where and how! Need I remind you that when “Piyush comes to shove”, we the liberal elite are in charge? It isn’t Cricket when a brown man talks football anyway.
Go back to your looney theories about how wood burns, and let Democrats get back to telling people of color what to do and say, just as we did in the early 1800s.
And don’t just presume from this that I am a well-off white person, because I am down with the brown, and I feel your pain, so stuff and get with the program.
/ satire off for those who may be just joining us…
Vile, uncalled for, inappropriate, rude, inflamatory, racist, prejudiced, bigoted and downright cruel. But, this is par for the course when it comes to the words, deeds and actions of liberals.
And as an aside to the commenter right above me: Jindal did NOT “change his name”. He took Bobby as a nickname when he was four years old. So what? People use nicknames ALL THE TIME. Nicknames that are not even related to their real names. I once had a colleague who went by the name Helen. We found out this wasn’t even her name–she started using it years and years ago as a teenager because she just liked it and as a teen she thought Esther was old fashioned. Too much is being made of Jindal’s name. But only liberals on the attack would make an issue out of something so innocuous.
White is a hue, not a color.
Sorry, that commenter isn’t really right above me anymore. Nevermind.
This whole uproar, along with the attack on Michele’s Maiden Name illustrates the left becoming more unhinged and shrill. It reminds me of a little girl who is beginning to realize she’s not going to get her way and ramps up the tantrum. Maybe next they’ll hold their breath until they turn blue.
Did that crab bucket have a lid with a broken hinge?
42- Thanks
Correction.
Only a fool would judge a man by his name or nickname as opposed to his record.
Lastly, I don’t know if the people cited in MM’s post are liberal or, not, and nor would I generalize. I will say that these individuals are closed-minded and ignorant.
#45 Uplander:
It reminds me of a little girl who is beginning to realize she’s not going to get her way and ramps up the tantrum.”
Correct.
As an aside: When our daughter at around 3 or 4 (some while ago) couldn’t get her way, she’d try pulling what we called a “melt”, where she’d silently go boneless, and sink to the floor like jelly!
She pulled it on my Dad once when my folks were watching the kids, and he was in the process of bringing our cold and wet, unwilling daughter out of the snow, into the house. (Her brothers had already come in, no problem.)
When my wife and I got home, he described what had happened, and asked us, half incredulous and half laughing, “What the hell was that?”.
What people don’t realize is that the policies and views of the left do nothing to create opportunity or equality when it comes to race or ethnicity. To the contrary, it does everything to prevent opportunity and growth and to maintain an imbalanced status quo.
Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, and was not a popular figure to the 19th century iteration of the Democrats. In more modern times, it was the Democrats who stoked the fires of the KKK (Robert Byrd ring a bell?), who vehemently opposed the civil rights initiatives of the 1960’s, and who today preach a message of hate and self pity the effect of which is to create a permanent welfare class of victims who have little chance of breaking free from their self-imposed barriers of race and poverty. The easier path in life is to accept the fallacy that you are a victim and rather than improve your own lot in life you are entitled to rely on someone else to provide for your needs.
In the face of losing out to civil rights legislation, the Democrats sought to adopt the tactic of trying to keep people focused on the problem rather than the solution and opportunity. They had no choice but to acknowledge that people were indeed equal, but by maintaining the focus on the problem relieved under civil rights legislation, they created the concept that in order to truly repent for those past misdeeds, there had to be continued inequality via treating one class as “more equal” than another. And with the birth of concepts like affirmative action, the Democrats set up a paradigm that not only maintained the tension between classes of people, it added an entitlement mentality that essentially destroyed any incentive or motivation for people to open that door of equal opportunity and truly be free in their pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
And this suppression of people is maintained by the Democrats being the champions of bigger entitlements. I am almost reluctant to say this, for it will be branded as bigoted, but what the Democrats have managed to do is to replace the plantation master with a benevolent political father. The hard labor and toil has been replaced with one easy duty - to vote. To vote for the caretakers who will continue to provide as a parent provides for a child.
Trading one master for another was certainly not the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King. Quite the contrary.
Equal opportunity and self determination are a plague to the democratic party. Without a class of voters beholden to them, the Democrats can no longer maintain their paradigm. People who think independently and shed the shackles of self pity and victimhood are an unacceptable threat to a party that, despite rhetoric to the contrary, does not believe all men are created equal.
The recent attack on Bobby Jindal is but the latest attempt to create or maintain racial and ethnic tension and distrust with a new group of immigrants. To the extent they can expand the formulae that has been effective for them over the last 50 years, they increase their power and position as master to those who, in their minds, can never be equal to the Democratic lords. Any of their subjects who attempts to assert themselves or considers themselves an equal presents a clear and present danger to the Democrat ideal. And unfortunately, they address this clear and present danger through the 21st century rhetorical equivalent of subjecting the wrongdoer to the public lash both as punishment and as an example of what happens when free men try to be free.

Did you forget:
Asallahmalekum = Osama
“…may be commendable…”?? I would certainly love to hear under which circumstances Mr. Guillermo thinks such a trait would not be commendable.
#50 Jim M.:
Bingo!
Wow! Could it be that Bobby Jindahl sees himself as an American,and a Louisianian(?), before he sees himself as a “person of color”?
I caught a few snippets of his various interviews on the cable shows last night, and found him passionate, engaged, and smart. If he is successful as Governor, the left will howl in pain and anger, and he will probably get his own dedicated division of smear artists over at Soros, Inc.
Boy, let a right-winger say these thins and he’d be hamstrunged. Has anyone told this moron that ‘white’ is NOT a color? They need to fall off their high horses. What a bunch of nonsense liberals are.
Get’em MM!!!!!!!!
Hey, Feebs I like my name. It beats Chuck, Sean, Shamus, Nigel and Beechum. I say no way Jose to any of those names. Besides, it’s easier to pick up on Filipina babes when you’re Jose.

You hardly have write anything to achieve your point here:
What an idiot.

Much props, still.
Upon further thought, if you are passionately against affirmative action based on the reasons you state, you have to be in favor of some legal means of remedying racial discrimination in schools, work, and government contracts.
I’m not necessarily saying that affirmative action is the only solution, or the right solution any more.
I’ve spoken to some conservatives who are against affirmative action AND against forcing anyone to have any diversity. By this I mean, “if someone wants to hire only whites, than by god that should be his right as an American.” “If a school doesn’t want to not choose minorities, than try another school, or another state.” “Quit youwhinin” and so on.
Nah, that’s not going to work. Despite the allegations of racist paternalism, I believe that plenty of Affirmative Action initiatives really did want to remedy both, purposeful and defacto discrimination. Nobody in there right mind would argue that white racism NEVER happens
If anti-affrimative action conservatives really want equal opportunity, there has to be equal opportunity.(sorry not in the mood to be poeticly eloquent,but I hope that makes sense)
GEAUX TIGERS!
Oh yeah…another “man of color” republican…gotta love it…and it really makes the liberals go nuts…which is an added benefit. These small minded uber liberal scum. If you are black, hispanic, asian, indian, any person of color, gay, female, and/or not-so-bright, you are expected, by the imperial democratic party, to be a liberal voter. When these people don’t fit their mold, they come out of the woodwork, calling them silly names because they don’t believe the fantastic lies of the moveon.org group. So if you’re a minority of any kind, you must believe that the government is the answer to all, and that there should be no reason or accountability in life. You will also have to suspend your belief that America is a great and positive force in the world…instead, you must think only the worst of our country (unless the dems control both the Congress and the White House)…you must believe that anyone black, brown, red, gay, female is, by definition, incapable of any evil or illegal actions (unless they are republican, then they are bad). You must believe that people who worked hard all their life and captured the American dream, somehow owe those who decided not to work at the dream. You must believe that our Judeo-christian culture is evil and wrong, and any other religion is superior and should be pushed by the government (and the gov schools). You must believe that giving children state sponsored birth control at age 11 is right, you must believe that Hillary isn’t an evil, self serving, scum bag, and actually loves America…you must believe that all republicans hate children, old people, people of color, sick people, and any other people that the left loves that week. You must believe that Geraldo and Katy Couric are a positive force in the news, and finally, the biggest lie you must believe to be a good little democrat colored/gay/female person, you must believe that the democratic party is always right and you should always vote for them so they can continue to take care of you from cradle to grave. So let me put this in another way, slavery was abolished a long time ago, but the democratic party expects slavish devotion to their twisted cause, pitting the current day people of color in a kind of self imposed slavery to “the party”. It carries on for decades, the only way out is to continue to push the middle class concept throughout America, so we can have more black, brown, etc…people in the republican party and they can enjoy the fruits of their hard work and dedication..by earning it, not by being given it by the democratic party.
What’s Mr. Guillermo’s problem? Doesn’t this mean we are closer to Dr. King’s dream? His dream that one day his children would live in a country where they were judged “not by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character”? Isn’t Mr. Jimbal the embodiment of that ideal?
oops…Jindal…but the point remains
This guy will at sometime say that this whole article was “satire” and to please “leave me alone, i was just making a joke.”
Yep, we’ve heard that one before.
Years ago, I worked as a dispatcher for a warehousing/distribution company in Fremont, CA.
Almost half of our bobtail & big rig drivers were Indians who had emigrated from Punjab state.
I have to say that those guys were some of the most generous, hard-working, conservative, family-oriented men I’d ever had the pleasure of working with.
Their work ethic often put their American-born counterparts to shame. Whenever a job needed to done, they’d do it. No complaints whatsoever.
I’ll never forget my last holiday working there, where each presented me with a very lavish Christmas gift.
Honestly, I’ve never forgotten them.
…and of course, they all spoke *perfect* English…
*ahem* ; )
Governor-elect Bobby Jindal will prove every single critic wrong. He will do an outstanding job for the office and the State of Louisiana. I do not see failure written anywhere on his resume. He has a lovely family and a proud ancestry. We’ll do well to keep an eye on this bright young man, his public service will not end in LA.
#57 - If there is someone that can’t pronounce Jose…they got big problems. (wink wink) -
Heaven forbid that the Governor of Louisianna act American rather than Indian.
What’s wrong with these people?
Thank You Jim,
I take minor exception to this. The leadership (term used loosely) of the Democrat (Sociocrat) party certainly DO understand that they offer nothing of value. That is why they never offer solutions to ‘the problems’, only divisive illustrations of the symptoms. The folks who ‘don’t realize’ , are the rank and file democrat that votes the way their parent s always voted actually still believeing that it’s the same party that existed in the past.
Even Howard Dean in a slip verified this (I’d like to have this verified by another after I paraphrase), in a discussion of Bernie Sanders a Proud and unapologetic socialist who runs as an Independent Dean stated ‘He’s not a socialist he’s a Liberal Democrat’.
To me ‘IMAO’ the ‘kids’ who protested, got tear gassed, got jailed in Chicago in 1968 during the convention are now running the Democrat Party Hilly & Billy are included here.
The apathy among the voters and the dumbing down of the children in public school (government school) are, to myself, scary indicators of just how far socialist incremental creep has progressed. At times I do fear for our Republic (ECHO-ECHO- Echo - “if you can keep it madam”.)
I’d like to believe that our children and grandchildren will have the opportunities that have presented themselves to myself and others, but some days I’m not hopeful. We seem to have no serious Conservative leadership. Gentlemen imitating President Reagan are imitating a once in a generation anomaly. We need…, well what we need most is a Republican that can win in 2008. After that we need a real Conservative.
Sorry, I was supposed to add this to my last post.

Emil Guillermo is a no talent Hack.
He is one of the main reasons that I canceled my subscription to Filipinas Magazine several years ago when he wrote for them. (my wife is of Filipino descent, we’ve both traveled extensively in the Philippines)
Never a positive thing to say about anyone who drifts from the left’s “race roles”. I’m actually upset that I had to be reminded of this guy and somewhat depressed to hear that he is still being paid to write this type of trash . . .
I think the whole left has their collective thongs in a knot because God smiled on Louisiana last week-end!
GEAUX Bobby & Tigers!
As a talk radio “junkie”, I heard a caller recently remark that he’d heard in conversations at hunting camp during the previous election, “I ain’t voting for no (n-word)” regarding Bobby Jindal. The caller told his fellow hunters when they complained about the dumocrap governor, “that’s what you get”…i.e., for not voting for Bobby in the last election. He was elated that they’d learned their lesson!
Oh gawd forbid that Mr. Jindal do the American thing and assimilate. Bring a bit of the ‘old country’ with you, but learn the language and traditions of the homeland you adopt; in other words, take pride in the fact that you’re an American. The Left is doing their damndest to Balkanize what was once considered a ‘melting pot’.
Oh yeah…Go Buckeyes! (heeheehee, sorry Bobby)
They don’t get it, its the operating system (culture) not the hardware (race) that matters. You’re stuck with the hardware, but you can pick your OS.
All I know is that God had to have been visiting Baton Rouge last Saturday night. With Bobby winning and the way the Tigers pulled it out on that last second play. Can you imagine how many Hail Mary’s were said in Louisiana than night!!!
Liberals feel threatened when their classification system using the deadly and insidious hypen isn’t adhered to.
I propose that the hypren be banned.
He is NOT just an ordinary stooge. He is a stooge who has a 2nd grade command of English grammar and spelling. Where did this idiot get his “journalist” credentials??
It’s so refreshing to see people of color just be individuals and not be hung up about race.
Me and my Mexican friend visited “Little India” in Southern CA yesterday. We had a great time. Everyone was friendly and warm. The food and service was wonderful. These Indians are intelligent and realize we are all individuals and there are certain values that transcend race…such as friendliness, kindness, beauty, spirituality. I hope we get closer to a world where our sharing of positive values is what brings us together, not our race.

YES. GO BUCKEYES.
Oh good lord, a non white conservative won an election in the south. The Dems had better just slice their wrists. How long do they think they can keep this plantation thing going?
#83 duff65:
Actually, I believe the Indians of India are caucasians; they just happen to be dark-skinned.
But, as been said so many times, so what?
I completely agree with the message of your post!
Wait, some clown wrote this in a national publication? He was immediately terminated for being a rabid racists, right?
Do all white people think alike? Is it racist to say we do even though it is obvious we don’t?
Thats one of the most vile racist things I’ve ever heard.
FIRE THAT WRITER Emil Guillermo BIGOT, TODAY!!!!!
How can he still be working? He wrote this in October.
I’m disgusted.
