You guys are in DEEP! How long until an unwanted tax is enacted to fund this schlock?
The fact that this sort of pseudo-fascism is reported on and read en masse with a straight face is, well, unfortunately expected.

If someone calls you a cigarette, bop 'em a good one! But get tossed if you think you get an unchallenged lil' Hitler move to force him/her to accept your "lifestyle", or whatever the sensitive issue of the moment is.
Don't worry though, maybe you will get Sharia Law before then, and the program will be...well...I don't want to spoil it for you. 

Cheers until then though!
