The statists like dissent if they are dissenting from a conservative view point, as Hillary Clinton explains here:
Hillary Defends Challenging the Administration
But if you stand for liberty and against big government dissent is a very bad thing, as Nancy Pelosi explains:
Nancy Pelosi Hints Town Hall Opposition are Nazis
So if you bash Bush, you are a patriot. If you question Barack Obama, you are a Nazi. So our statist friends only believe the First Amendment applies to them and it is not available to those who oppose them. Turn them in to the White House! Have union goons give them a beat down.

SEIU Member Attacks a Black Conservative
Does this not sound like Hitler’s brown shirts? his Gestapo? The left who like to throw down, in addition to the race card, the Nazi card look more like Nazis than conservatives ever did.

President Barack Obama, took office with historically high approval ratings. Congress ended its last session with historically low approval ratings. So why is Barack Obama, the head of the Democratic Party, taking a back seat on the economic stimulus bill while Nancy Pelosi calls the shots?
President Obama campaigned on ending the divisiveness in Washington, as did George Bush, but bipartisanship is far more than dinner parties with conservative columnists, cocktails with leaders of Congress, welcoming ideas from Republicans that will eventually be ignored by Speaker Pelosi. If bipartisanship was one of your themes, pay attention, there was bipartisanship on the stimulus vote, it was bipartisan opposition.
Taking family planning and some sod for the Washington Mall out of the package, does not magically turn this turkey into a stimulus. It’s time for President Obama to do some arm twisting within his own party or his critical first 100 days will be a flameout. Take a lesson from history, Presidents Carter and Clinton both took office with large Democratic majorities in Congress and tried to please them and neither could. Clinton had a Republican Congress two years later and ended up with a pretty successful presidency. Carter didn’t.
It’s your administration Mr. President, don’t let Nancy Pelosi snuff it out.
