Here is a quote from Harry S. Truman, 33rd president of the United States.
To me this quote sounds an awful lot, like the country the Republicans in general, and the Tea Party in particular want us to live in.
Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.
Harry S Truman, August 8, 1950
