Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. . . .
THEY CAME FIRST for the Communist,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew
THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionist,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist
THEN THEY CAME for the Catholics,
And I didn’t speak because I was a Protestant
THEN THEY CAME for me,
And by that time no one was left to speak up
poem by Pastor Martin Niemoeller of Nazi Germany. . . .
Well . . . . .
Look what is happening in our Great Country today. . . .
Business:
THEY CAME FIRST for the banks, then the auto industry, now the insurance companies. . . .When is the government going to takeover your company? When they think your CEO makes to much money or they think they can run it better? Or, It's not "green" enough. . . . .
Guns:
THEY CAME FIRST for the ammunition, so that they can avoid any issues concerning the 2nd amendment for your right to keep and bear arms. . . .
Social Issues: (sin taxes)
THEY CAME FIRST for the smokers. Smokers are now responsible for 99% of all the children's health care in this country and guess what is going to happen when they tax us out of being able to smoke?
Smoker's have been ridiculed for years for standing in little huddled masses outside in the cold of winter trying to take a puff. . . . .I guess in the near future you will see new groups of people trying to sneak in that candy bar, or drink that soda that the government has deemed "unhealthy" and as I stand outside with them and people walk by with their noses in the air I will be laughing to myself and thinking. . . .
. . . . they are coming for you next
