First 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 for me

Many of the nazi elite were hidden after the war. Many of the monied elite who supported the nazis were not reprimanded, including bush.

They have been using their same old "tried and true" tactics in slow-motion, so less people will notice.

People would be in rageful horror if we knew the truth of their despicable actions.

Thanks for posting! We need to be reminded of this every day.

...phrases like "liberals, progressives, socialists, communist, Nazis" on local newspaper comments blogs.

All those terms used interchangeably.

When they come, they're not just coming for the socialists....
