"Today is the death of freedom as a cause for celebration," -guess who said it last night


"Today is the death of freedom as a cause for celebration," Rep. Marsha Blackburn just said as she opened the House Republicans' argument against the health-care bill. Her stem-winder was quick and clean. This bill, she argued, will make Americas less free.

"My colleagues are overjoyed that soon their goal of having Americans dependent on the government for mortages, student loans, retirement, and health care will be realized. That is a chilling goal."
"My colleagues cheer that this bill is paid for, they ignore the fact that it is our children who will pay the price for their greed."


"My colleagues shame us for scaring the American people about the contents of this bill. We do so, because the consequences of this bill will be frightening and horrible."


"Freedom dies a little bit today, and many of my colleagues are celebrating."
