On Common Ground and Equality
Posted By JM Bell on February 13, 2009
When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I was not a Jew.
When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.
Pastor Martin Niemöller
How quickly most forget how out of control intolerance and persecution can spiral out of control. Historical context seems to be well outside the mental abilities of people like Paul Mero, Gayle Ruzika and Sen. Buttars.
