Argument of tyrants, creed of slaves.
And if you object, then YOU are a propagandist on the level of Hitler's man Goebbels, says Rep. Steve Cohen.
Then "No, I didn't call them Nazis, I'm sure I didn't."

I have alread gotten a self-congratulatory email from Rep. Eric "PATRIOT Act" Cantor about the House voting to repeal Obamacare.
I said "Well done," and that I look forward to seeing a Republican alternative without mandates, privacy-destroying medical record digitization and centralization requirements or increased taxes on non-health-related things to pay for it.
But you know, he's the "balance" guy. "Needs" against rights.
