Fine. Then call it the "description of the factual content and predicate" for my position as well.

It's so common an instance of "slippery slope" that the Nazi's have their own dedicated version of it:

Indeed they have. They took us from "A" (moral, kind, benevolent America) to "B" (who sometimes engages in "aggressive interrogation") to "Z" (who is like Nazi Germany) in one breath. Then they pat each other on the back for how sensitive they are to the decline of Western Civilization.

It's a violation of common sense in every form of the word.
