"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."

Obama May Not Use NDAA, But a Future Presient Will
Submitted by Guest on Fri, 2012-01-06 00:00
"Now, President Obama claimed he signed the bill with reservations about the indefinite detention, and assured Americans he would not use the provision during his presidency. That is all well and good, but this will not stop future presidents, especially a potentially strong, ideological president of the Nixonian or Bush variety, from using the new NDAA provision in Orwellian ways."
