against Washington

presidential election?)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Saturday night accused President Barack
Obama and other Democrats of waging wars against religious liberty and
education and said that a rebellion is brewing in the U.S. with people ready for "a
hostile takeover" of the nation's capital.
Jindal spoke at the annual conference
hosted by the Faith and Freedom Coalition, a group led by longtime Christian
activist Ralph Reed. Organizers said more than 1,000 evangelical leaders
attended the three-day gathering. Republican officials across the political
spectrum concede that evangelical voters continue to play a critical role in
GOP politics.
"I can sense right now a rebellion
brewing amongst these United States,"
Jindal said, "where people are ready for a hostile takeover of Washington, D.C.,
to preserve the American Dream for our children and grandchildren."
The governor said there was a "silent
war" on religious liberty being fought in the U.S. — a country that he said was
built on that liberty.
"I am tired of the left. They say
they're for tolerance, they say they respect diversity. The reality is this:
They respect everybody unless you happen to disagree with them," he said.
"The left is trying to silence us and I'm tired of it, I won't take it
anymore."
Earlier this week, Jindal signed an
executive order to block the use of tests tied to Common Core education
standards in his state, a position favored by tea party supporters and
conservatives. He said he would continue to fight against the administration's
attempts to implement Common Core.
"The federal government has no role,
no right and no place dictating standards in our local schools across these 50
states of the United States
of America," Jindal said.
Jindal used humor in criticizing the Obama
administration on several fronts, referencing the Bergdahl prisoner exchange
and the deadly attack on the U.S.
mission in Benghazi, Libya.
"Are we witnessing right now the most
radically, extremely liberal, ideological president of our entire lifetime
right here in the United States of America,
or are we witnessing the most incompetent president of the United States of America
in the history of our lifetimes? You know, it is a difficult question," he
said. "I've thought long and hard about it. Here's the only answer I've
come up with, and I'm going to quote Secretary Clinton: 'What difference does
it make?'"
The conference featured most of the
well-known Republicans considering a 2016 presidential run,
including Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Sen. Marco
Rubio and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. Jindal is expected to announce after the
November midterm elections whether or not he will launch a presidential bid.
