Jindal: How the Radical Left Uses Energy Costs to Control Americans
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal yesterday accused the Obama administration of making energy more expensive with the goal of making Americans more dependent on government.
"The Left, they like to tell us they are the ones [who] are following science and we're the science deniers," Jindal said to a small group of reporters after delivering a speech at The Heritage Foundation to debut his energy jobs plan. "But I think overall, their approach to energy is telling."
The Republican governor said the "radical" Left wants energy to be scarce and expensive because it empowers the federal government to be more involved in Americans' lives.
Doing so, the potential 2016 presidential candidate said, essentially allows the Obama administration to decide what kind of car you drive, what kind of home you live in, what kind of education your children receive, what kind of health care insurance is adequate for you, and what size soda you can drink.
Right now, Jindal said, America "is on the road to failure."

Meet the Radical Lawyers Suing Bobby Jindal to Block School Choice

Bobby Jindal and school choice advocates are finding out the hard way how it works.
Mike Flynn at Breitbart covers a lawsuit filed last week to block school choice in Louisiana by the Educational Opportunities Section of the Civil Rights Division. (Copy of complaint is here.) The lawsuit alleges that school choice in Louisiana means too many white kids are going to private schools. Never mind the fact that black children can do the same thing.
People regularly underestimate the enormous power held by radical bureaucrats. People often wrongly assume Eric Holder or President Obama are masterminding these radical and absurd policies. They are wrong. Holder and his downstream political appointees often only green-light radical legal theories cooked up by lifelong radicals.
So let's meet the lifelong radicals attacking Bobby Jindal's state education policies, as profiled in the PJ Media Every Single One series.
