If you can't establish your argument with reason and perhaps a little data, offer a hefty dose of Red baiting, complete with images of work camps and forced collectivism. This, at least, is the approach taken by the Cato Institute's Adam Thierer, who probably ought to know better. Thierer is strong on property rights, but such rights apparently don't extend to those who wish to donate property to the common good. Oh no, such people, by virtue of their sharing, are trying to undermine freedom and democracy and apple pie.
