Where are the voices of Liberty ?

SPOKEN BY: Reverend Martin Niemoller, in 1945 That silence about liberty infractions equals civil death.

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.

Update:

How would you put it to fit today?

    Exactly... THere is so much ignorance and stupidity in America thats its a shame. You have so much moral and ethical decline and most everyone is only concerned with thier own business. They have no real understanding of the way the world works and preach "love".

    It would really be something if we had an invasion, nuclear war or some other terrible thing happen to this country to wake up all the sleeping people.

    EDIT....

    Honestly, the world works with force. Unless you have a military and the gumption to use it, you will continually be pushed around by governments that are not afraid to use theirs. Look at all the issues we have have had with North Korea, USSR, China, etc... Had the US have finished their job during WW2 we would not be in the messes we are today. Now nuclear proliferation is the goal for EVERY country that has a military and is ruled through strength. Why? It is a "leveraging stick" that they can use at a whim. Its amazingly ironic that countries that have nuclear weapons try to dictate policy to those that dont. Had we have just eliminated them in the first place, like a cancer, we would NOT have to deal with it again.
