"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."

"Americans are just now beginning to learn how it feels to be on the receiving end of such policies. While their government has long claimed the authority to detain Americans indefinitely without due process...only recently has it publicly argued that the president has the authority to order the assassination of American citizens anywhere in the world. Under George W. Bush such assassinations were carried out with a fair amount of secrecy, but under Barack Obama they are carried out openly, and his administration quite candidly admits that it is doing so."
