Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys

Energy Secretary Steven Chu lets the mask slip on the emasculation infantilization of the Republic. These people subscribe to fantasy science but they think you are the ones acting like children.

Speaking on the sidelines of a smart grid conference in Washington, Dr. Chu said he didn’t think average folks had the know-how or will to to change their behavior enough to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.

The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Dr. Chu said. “The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.”

A bit rich considering America's teenage kids are the Obama administration's most ardent (living) supporters.

Update: Victor Davis Hanson responds to this and so much of the same from the president of the University of America.

Many of the former Professor Obama’s problems so far hinge on his administration’s inability to judge public opinion, its own self-righteous sense of self, its non-stop sermonizing, and its suspicion of sincere dissent. In other words, the United States is now a campus, we are the students, and Obama is our university president.
