First They Came For the Jews

First They Came For The Jews
"A poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group." Wikipedia
This is a thought provoking poem. Fail to stand up to injustice and injustice will find you.
I hope you found this video and poem thought provoking. If you would be so kind as to rate it, I would appreciate it because that way more people are likely to see the video and hear it's message.

Fail. Get the wording right.

[Javoc999]

@Banerik which wording?

[chalomirof63]

"Javoc999": I'm sure "enjoyed" is not the word you meant to use in your comments. Thought-provoking, chilling and enraging are more appropriate words. But I understand the intention behind it.  Thank you.

[Javoc999]

I completely agree with you Chalomirof63. Those words are much more suitable. I am glad you brought this to my attention. I have edited the description accordingly.

Thanks Javoc999

Separation of Church and State is INHERENT in The Constitution: this is to protect ALL of us, believers and non-believers alike. You are not the chosen few. That's the genius of The Constitution, and the very ideals that those in power sometimes blatantly violate: the past eight years, for instance!

First the left wing slaughtered the unborn, but I said nothing because I wanted to be considered progressive.Then the left wing took away gun rights, but I said nothing because I wanted to be considered progressive. Then left wing censored the Internet, because it was not considered progressive. Then the left wing declared martial law, but I said nothing because I wanted to be considered progressive. When the left wing did not find a picture of Obama on my wall, it was too late to protest.

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 me.
