Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) on Sunday said that President Obama and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have pushed their socialist ideals on the country.
“I’m running [for president] because I want to stop President Obama and Secretary Clinton from turning the American dream into the European nightmare,” he said on the John Catsimatidis radio show, according to The Hill. “We are on the path toward socialism. It’s not too late but the hour is late.”
Jindal urged his fellow Republican presidential candidates to whole-heartedly push conservative ideals during the primary.
“I disagree with Jeb Bush. He said we have to be willing to lose the primary to win the general election. Let me translate — he’s saying we need to hide our conservative ideas,” he said, according to The Hill.
“If we do that, we’re going to lose again,” Jindal continued. “Let’s endorse our own principles and fight for what we believe in.”
Numerous conservatives have labeled the President a socialist in the past. Former Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) claimed in 2013 that he was the first to call the President a socialist. Both former Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) have also accused Obama of pushing socialism in the U.S.
For once I agree with Jindal.
And that’s an awful thing because then our economy can’t be about exploiting the workers, obliterating the middle class, concentrating wealth in the 0.001% to the detriment of everyone else, making sure our roads are in such poor condition that they can’t be used, people are poisoned by our food supply, and so much more.
What Jindal means, though, is “Obama and Clinton put us on the path to being a dictatorship.” The only problem with that is that the only people trying to ruin our democracy are the Republicans.
Jindal is the expressway to delusionality!
Is paved in skinny jeans, Governor.
On this one Jindal is 100% correct, the Democrats ultimate goal is socialism, a cancer that has doomed many Countries, Greece being the latest victim with more to come. Watch Europe implode in the next few years because of it.
