"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,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Freedom Versus Medals of Freedom
Submitted by Westernerd on Thu, 2014-06-26 02:00
It will be a sign of the nation’s political awakening when presidential Medals of Freedom stir up as much popular suspicion as political parties labeling their donors as benefactors of humanity. In the same way that presidents cannot be trusted to define freedom, they cannot be trusted to designate who are the true champions of freedom.
