The U. S Republican-ISIS Revolution. Fascism at its best

This is an education. Today's Republicans are the US's version of ISIS, trying to bully and scare people into submission. VOTING COUNTS. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR. AS IS HAPPENING IN SYRIA AND IRAQ, NEXT, THEY'LL COME FOR YOU, THEIR SUPPORTERS, AND NO ONE WILL BE LEFT TO HELP YOU...

(with apologies to Rev. Martin Niemoller and Stephen Rohde),

First They Came For .......

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,

Then they came for the Protestants,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I wasn't a Protestant.

Then they came for the Muslims, 

and I didn't speak up 

because I wasn't a Muslim.

Then they came for the poor,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't poor.

Then they came for the Libertarians,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Libertarian.

Then they came to detain immigrants indefinitely 

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't an immigrant.

Then they came to eavesdrop on suspects consulting with their attorneys, 

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a suspect.

Then they came to prosecute non-citizens before secret military commissions, 

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a non-citizen.

Then they came to enter homes and offices for unannounced "sneak and peek" searches, and I didn't speak up because I had nothing to hide.

Then they came to reinstate Cointelpro and resume the infiltration and surveillance of domestic religious and political groups, and I didn't speak up because I had stopped participating in any groups.

Then they came for anyone who objected to government policy because it aided the terrorists and gave ammunition to America's enemies, 

and I didn't speak up because I was a Progressive and had no ammunition.

Then they came for Progressives, they came for me,

and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
