The Republicans have created a new grass roots organization.
"Fans of Health Insurance Companies"

Now I can understand being a "GM Fan" or a "Toyota Fan" if you like
the car.
Pretty hard to understand being a fan of a health insurance company.
But then you have Trekkies too, so different strokes.

OK - found the one I was reminded of - it may not be the one you had in
mind, but it was Samuel Adams:

"A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely
overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common
enemy.... While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once
they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties
to the first external or internal invader.... If virtue and knowledge
are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be
their great security."

Also:
"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily
subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the
Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their
Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of
foreign Invaders."

The quotes were in two separate letters to James Warren.

Which declared war against us on Dec. 11, 1941, after Pearl Harbor and
our declaration of war against Japan. Here's the history link:

OTOH Saddam Hussein did not declare war against the US, and the idiot
even told his cabinet in 2003 that the US would never attack because
the US liked him.

Our hospitals are great; it's our private health insurance system
that's bad.
