    The slippery slope is like a gradual descent or gentle move to a lower place and it takes a while … the further you go, the faster you go down … eventually at one point, you’re traveling so fast down the slope that there is no more turning back and you have no choice but to fall off the edge.

      That’s basically what happened in WW2. We’ve done what needed to be done then and we’ll do it now too.

      I was hoping this time around we didn’t need to go all the way to a world war, but if the servatives insist, fine, I will humor them.
