"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."

Submitted by Emmett Harris on Tue, 2014-01-21 00:00
“5 decades later, President Johnson’s programs are still a political battlefront, and, while poverty has not disappeared, supporters say it might have been worse without initiatives.” After taking trillions of dollars from tax theft victims over the years, that's the best argument supporters can make? If nothing else, that should be grounds to end this “war.”
