"This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause."

Sadly, the average American won't care until people are being loaded into boxcars en masse. And maybe not even then.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
after all I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
after all I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
after all I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
