None of liked what happened at the Capital building on Wednesday, but we have better be aware of what is happening to our 1st Amendment. This can will and may very well happen to all of us just like we are seeing today in China and other countries that believed communism, Marxism/Socialism is the way to go. You can poo poo this and that is what the radical left and Marxist want.
This is a take-off of a poem by Pastor Niemoller who escaped
persecution by the Nazis. But a brief
history of This Pastor is below. Sounds
like what is happening today. He
supported Hitler since he was anti-communist, but after Hitler got elected, it
was not what he expected. Sounds like
what may happen in our country today, unless we wake up.
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then
they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a
Communist.
Then
they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a
trade unionist.
Then
they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
And now a new play on this by me.
First they came to silence Donald Trump and I did not speak
out since I did not support Trump
Then they came to silence conservatives and I did not speak
out because I was not a conservative
Then they banned conservatives from social media and I did
not speak out because I did not use social media
Then they came for me and no one was left to speak out for
me.
Martin Niemöller was a German
Lutheran pastor and theologian born in Lippstadt, Germany, in 1892. Niemöller was an anti-Communist and supported Adolf Hitler's rise to power. But when, after he came to
power, Hitler insisted on the supremacy of the state over religion, Niemöller
became disillusioned. He became the leader of a group of German clergymen
opposed to Hitler. In 1937 he was arrested and eventually confined in Sachsenhausen and Dachau. He was released in 1945 by the Allies. He continued his career in Germany as a
clergyman and as a leading voice of penance and reconciliation for the German
people after World War II.
