"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."

Something Wicked This Way Comes

"When I first set out to write this piece I was going to do a critique of the current administration's policies pointing, out what I saw as it's major flaws. However as I began to write the tone changed. The way I see it doesn't matter how wrongheaded or ignorant a president's (or government) policies are. If individuals choose to rule themselves and embrace decentralization, the machinations of two bit despots under the guise of legitimacy have far less consequence. Coming from that perspective, it's very disheartening to see former liberty minded individuals become apologists, and advocates for Mr. Trump."
