  As masked and armed goons swarm American cities, it's time to take a deep breath and remember what happened the last time a people were defamed, labeled a problem, and herded off to concentration camps because the dear leader wanted a "final solution"  First they came for the Communists  And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist  Then they came for the Socialists  And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist  Then they came for the trade unionists  And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist  Then they came for the Jews  And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew  Then they came for me  And there was no one left To speak out for m e   ~ Pastor Martin Niemöller - a German Lutheran pastor, who initially an antisemitic Nazi supporter, but found that did not protect him when he was imprisoned in a concentration camp for speaking out against Nazi control of churches.
