Jindal faces troubles in his home state
By BILL BARROW and MELINDA DESLATTE | Associated Press – 10 hrs ago

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal faces deepening troubles in his home state even as he dishes out advice on how the divided GOP can regroup and looks to position himself as a national party front man.

The new head of the Republican Governors Association, who also is a potential future White House contender, has made a series of cuts to health services and colleges, drawing criticism from affected constituents and Republicans who say he's not cut enough. And while he delighted conservative policy wonks nationally with his signature measures overhauling education and public employee pensions, those laws are tied up in state court as Republican judges claim constitutional concerns.

White America is so caught up trying to hurt black folks because they think we put Obama in office that these fools don't realize their own race is gonna be hit the hardest. This sequestration stuff is gonna kill white DOD areas. The small businesses these fools own. The contracts they receive from the affirmative action program their white women got for them. They are the majority on social security, welfare, and veteran programs. These prejudice, hate filled white men don't realize black poor folks have and will always survived. When you close one program, the underground hustle will just take over. You can't hurt people who always found ways to survive in a racial, hate filled country.
 



Booby(yea BOOBY) Jindal is an idiot. Grade A 100% IMBECILE! He has the nerve to say the President is cutting necessary services when HE IS DOING THE SAME! The day we are rid of his trifling azz is a better day(HOPEFULLY) for the State of Louisiana.

He is the WORST Gov Louisiana voters elected.

:lol: :emlaugh:

Those ignorant Cajuns voted him in and as a whole and numerically he has hurt them just as much as minorities. Poor southern states like Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama etc. have no business voting for Republicans but you know the rest of the story. :smh: :lol: :emlaugh:

This dude is so confused. He has said the Republican Party needs to stop being the stupid party as a respond to politicians like Todd Akin of Missouri and Richard Mourdock of Indiana fail attempt to get re-elected to the Senate because of their religious "junk" science on abortion, but he claims to be a technocrat although his voucher program pays religious schools to teach creationism and reject evolution. I hate that this has happen to my home state.

To go from Hindu at birth to Catholicism in high school to hanging out with North Louisiana Bible toting Protestants tells me that Piyush "Bobby" Jindal does not have a real agenda for himself. He does whatever the powers to be tell him to do.

Right.
 
I happen to be talking to an uncle last weekend from Cali and he brought up what he remembers about Louisiana which was vote selling for something as cheap as a BBQ dinner. I vaguely remember vote selling. Does this still happen on the home front?

I believe that mainly happened in South Louisiana. Once you get passed Alexandria, it's basically who your pastor is supporting. I can remember seeing a ton of politicians at church around election time and they all seemed to be very religious. Funny thing, Alexandria is a mixture of South and North Louisiana. You can go 20 to 30 miles north or south of Alexandria and think you have completely travel to a different country. Pollock and Dry Prong to north, Bunkie and Marksville to the south and Alexandria is where most of them traveled to shop and do business.

What are the main things you feel are different between north and southern Louisiana folks are?

I see religion, accent, type of food, and their complete cultural background. Most South Louisiana folks don't give a sh!t about what people think of them when it comes to partying and having fun, whereas North Louisiana folks try to be Bible toting God fearing people, but are some of the biggest hypocrites. Funny thing, Pineville, LA, which is across the river from Alexandria, is now considering lifting the ban on the sale of liquor. And what's really strange about the ban, a person can cross the river to Alexandria and buy all the liquor they want and both Alexandria and Pineville are located in Rapides Parish. I do believe more pressure is being put on Pineville now that the Jena-Choctaw Indian Tribe just open a new casino just north of Pineville in Grant Parish.

Interesting, I haven't spent that much time in N. Louisiana but was always told basically the same thing (food and culture). Strange enough, many counties around metro ATL just started Sunday liquor sales less than a year ago.

IMO, Alexandria has become Louisiana's true melting pot for South and North Louisiana, which is why it is called CENLA, short for CENtral LouisianA. People from the South Louisiana see as a part of North Louisiana and people from North Louisiana see it as a part of South Louisiana, but it's neither with a little bit of both. If you travel I-49 from Lafayette to Shreveport, you'll see the transition of North and South Louisiana. Except for Lafayette, Opelousas, Alexandria, and Shreveport, most of the towns are 2 to 5 miles off of the interstate.

CENLA is CENLA. I hope you don't tell them people from Marksville and Bunkie that, which is consider part of CENLA. Marksville and Bunkie has just as many Creole and Cajun people than any town south of Lafayette. A lot of the Creole folks that relocated from Dauphin Island, AL ended up in Marksville and Opelousas.

ViLou - Vidalia, La

Vidalia is a just a little bit north and east of Alexandria. Both of my parents are from Rapides Parish, but one of my parent's family are from the Bayou Rapides Area in the Parish, which probably have more in common with people from Natchitoches Parish/Cane River and my other parent's family are from Cheneyville which is just five (5) miles north of Bunkie. There's a distinct different in the two areas, which is why CENLA is CENLA.

Crossroads in the map above represents CENLA. Vidalia is in Concordia Parish which is just north of Avoyelles Parish, which is the parish Marksville and Bunkie is in.

If you take a closer look, you'll see that ViLou is in Concordia Parish which is right on the shin part of the state. That's Crossroads, but we consider ourselves North like those in Catahoula and Tensas Parishes.
