Some of the biggest dictators and exploitative leaders of the world have been great orators who were able to draw crowds and distract people with their speech.
FAIL.

I agree, this is how dictatorships are established.
First rule is to legislate things that are good for the people so the people will start giving you that trust.
But hey its not like he is running from an old play book. That was Bush II and the Patriot act.
The problem is people are so polarized by 24 hour news cycles they don't realize that both the right and the left are moving closer and closer to being ruled by the fringe.
At the same time though since it is my tax dollars and I agree with this stance if a hospital is receiving my tax dollars they should adhere to what I believe in. Just like on the other side, I don't want my tax dollars funding abortions.
