Gov. Bobby Jindal Defies Obama Administration – Begins Building Barrier Walls Off Louisiana Coast & Calls for End to Obama Moratorium

Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) defied the Obama Administration today and ordered the National Guard to build sand barrier walls off the Louisiana coast.
ABC News reported:
Eight weeks into the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of the Mexico, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has told the National Guard that there’s no time left to wait for BP, so they’re taking matters into their own hands.
In Fort Jackson, La., Jindal has ordered the Guard to start building barrier walls right in the middle of the ocean. The barriers, built nine miles off shore, are intended to keep the oil from reaching the coast by filling the gaps between barrier islands.
Watch ‘World News’ for more on this story tonight on your ABC station.
Today, huge Blackhawk and Chinook helicopters lined up in the air, dropping sandbags one by one into the sea.
“They are lifting up about 7,000 pounds of sandbags,” said 1st Lt. James Tyson Gabler.
Bobby Jindal also called for an end to the Obama moratorium in the Gulf.
Barack Obama’s oil drilling moratorium will cost tens of thousands of American jobs. Oil companies are planning on moving their rigs from the Gulf of Mexico to South America off the coast of Brazil where the government is more friendly to energy corporations.

Governor Jindal:
If by some off chance you see this page, I (and probably many others around the nation) humbly request you take an additional step: Call up Louisiana’s National Guard……. All of them…… Every single person on the books.
Place ‘em (locked and loaded, weapons hot) on the entire perimeter of The Great State Of Louisiana….. facing outward and some looking to the sky as well.
Our Dictator In Training Pants is going to have somewhat of a conniption fit (to say the least).
Best be 110% ready to repel all invaders, foreign and especially domestic.
Please let me know if you need some ‘technical assistance’ from an out-of-state typical bitter Jewish god-clinging gun owner and barking-mad-insane NASCAR fan to help move things along.
Cheers and God Bless You, Sir.

Let’s give a loud cheer for states rights. Rah. Way to go, Jindal. He should defy the drilling ban too. According to my research the states do have nullification power.
Joanne commented:
Obama fails to keep the shoreline free of oil and makes sure thousands of jobs are lost – can it get any clearer. How does a crisis go to waste? When you don’t take advantage of it, and Obama is certainly taking advantage of it.
Opus #6 commented:
We need our governors now more than ever. Mr. Deer-in-headlights Obama is not about to do anything.
CrankyOldLady commented:
Gov. Bobby Jindal is doing the right thing. He’s the only true and brave leader in the USA right now. Bobby Jindal is showing us how to save America – defy and ignore Obama and his gangsters to protect & preserve America.
If American is to survive Obama’s sabotage (refusal to contain the oil flow, destruction of our alliances, depletion of our security advantages, bad medicine, impoverishment by debt and cap & tax, and many more attempts at national homicide), all the states (50 not 57) need to follow the example of Bobby Jindal.
The governors must halt the destructive assaults on America by a muslim maniac who lied and cheated and Acorned himself into the Presidency and remains supported by his traitorous czars, & his Congressional idiots, traitors and crooks.
MathMom commented:
I have been hoping he’d do this. Go, Bobby!
Huevos of brass.
jainphx commented:
A lot more “civil disobedience” is what is needed. Why should we allow the O to dictate to states their destruction by doing NOTHING. Life, liberty, and the pursuit etc.
Aussie commented:
Bobby Jindal should have moved on this weeks ago. I am not faulting him per se, but he should have made that move and given the Oboomboom the finger weeks ago.
Sickofobama commented:
Kenny Solomon:
According to a story at American Parchment, Jindal has called up the Louisiana National Guard.
manateespirit commented:
Looking through all the posts, it just struck me…how many of you are aware of the “Council of Governors” Executive Order Obama signed giving the Federal Government power over the states in emergencies?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2426271/posts
The founding fathers knew they had to keep the power of the Federal Government in check because of the potential abuse of individual liberties, which we are experiencing today.
If you think about it, this action of Jindal is even more bold than it initially seems. He is daring Obama and the other governors to go against him. After all, Obama got the power he wanted with the Executive Order. Do you think he wants to use it against Jindal now? I do believe the people of Lousiana and other Gulf States would start an uprising.
Kenny Solomon commented:
Thanks, Sickofobama……. Good to know.

This may be ‘the test’ of strength and possibly the tipping point for everything we hold dear as a free people in a representative republic and a union of free states……… Like ‘the big guy’ on the radio says…….. Don’t doubt me.

Sandy from Chesterfield commented:
I think the Republican governors from LA, AL, MS, and FL should be able to deal with BP directly. They know what their respective states need. It is delaying their efforts having to go through all of the government agencies. I am sure BP would rather pay now to protect the states from the oil than to have to pay for clean up. Maybe I should not have included Gov. Christ since he has already been paid off by the obama administration and has said he is for the oil drilling moratorium.

It will be an honor for our organization to host our state’s Attorney General Bill McCollum tomorrow evening.
A.G. McCollum will have the floor for the entire two hour meeting (I fully expect to go over time) and will be taking questions from those in attendance.
The organization I belong to is called DC Works For Us (click on my name, you’ll see the site).
We meet at least twice per month at the main venue and at least once per month at several satellite venues.
I supply the PA systems for all meetings at the main venue.
Cheers !

manatee spirit: Exec Orders don’t hold any weight in court. The pro-baby-killers were quite confident of that before they let O sign the meaningless ban on abortion coverage for foolish Stupak. Actually, experts on both political sides agree with the meaninglessness of an Exec Order. But it is vital to challenge O’s arrogance and audacity.

It would be funny if Jindal handed Obama a mop and told him to get to work cleaning up his 9/11 mess. Better yet, all Un-Americans (Obama) need to STHU and get out of the way.

we’re also aware he gave Interpol a free hand in U.S...
[Why should we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a repository for stashing government files that will be beyond the scrutiny of Congress, American law enforcement, the media, and the American people?]

No offense to Gov. Jindal as I support his efforts to save his state. However, he does not fulfill the ‘Natural Born Citizen’ clause in the United States Constitution.
Neither does the current putative potus and you can see how well HE has turned out as a ‘leader’…!

According to wiki, Bobby Jindal was born in Baton Rouge, LA. His parents were immigrants. I think he’s a natural born citizen by being born here to legal immigrants (maybe citizens by then). Unless some obscure detail in the law places conditions on his “natural born” status. He was a citizen by birth.

Lisa G: I am not aware that his parents need to be citizens. Illegal aliens’ kids born here today are US citizens by birth (that’s a problem however). Born here=American citizen. I don’t know that his parents have to be naturalized citizens for him to be natural born.

[Piyush Jindal was born on June 10, 1971, in Baton Rouge to Hindu parents who had come to the United States six months before so his mother could pursue a graduate degree in nuclear physics at Louisiana State University. His father was an engineer from the Punjab region of India,
the only one of nine siblings to attend high school.]
Jindal is more America & Christian than half the country,
forget Obama (who’s father was not a US citizen either)..

Peggy commented:
Here’s a wiki page on the natural birth right of American citizenship its history and bases. The key case was in late 1800s, scroll down to Wong Kim Ark, where a person born to foreigners on US soil, so long as such foreigners were not agents of another nation, was a natural born citizen, under 14th amendment. Citizenship status of parents not relevant.

Yes, Bobby Jindal is more American and Christian than O and half the nation. A great Catholic man!

bg, I understand Cloward-Piven.
For whatever reason, Obama’s actions to save the gulf are as effective as those of a deer-in-headlights. Inaction serves to promote chaos, of course. And that is why Jindal and all the other governors had better act to save the states. Obama wants us drowning in oil so we’ll beg for his legislative solutions.
Like Cap and Tax would plug the hole….
AuntieMadder commented:
A Natural Born Citizen is born of two American citizen parents (native, natural born, or naturalized) on American soil. (Jindal’s parents were both still citizens of India when he was born in Baton Rouge, LA.)
A Native Citizen is born on US soil.
A Naturalized Citizen was born a citizen of another country and earned US citizen the hard way: via the naturalization process.
I’m no lawyer, US Constitutional otherwise, but this guy is.

Jindal did not do anything until Palin told him to go ahead and defy Obama this past Sat.
GO Sarah! The leader we need.
Kevin commented:
I have it on good authortity that the stricken oil well has serious down hole fractures, leaking oil into cracks in the rock formations. That is why they had to abort the top kill effort, because the drilling mud was bursting out of the down hole casing breaks, and actualy increasing the down hole leaks into the rock strata. There is now a very good chance of a complete structural failure of the well, and having the BOP completly collapse. If that were to happen, the well will run completely out of control, causing a twenty fold increase of the oil leak. An even worse scenerio would be a total collapse of the rock formation. My understanding is that the reseveor the tapped has upwards of two hundred fifty billion barrels of oil, meaning that the well will run out of control for at least a decade. If that happens the oil will hit the gulf stream, tarring every beach on the east coast. If thay happens, the only solution will be to drill as many wells as possible, and deplete the reservor as fast as possible. The problem with the moritorium, is that all the newest, and most high tech rigs are preparing to leave the gulf, for locals such as africa ect., never to return. this will leave us with the oldest, and most dangerous rigs to try to deal with the disaster.
