"Martin Niemoller (1892-1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler, and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.
He is, perhaps, best known for the following quotation - which Americans should very carefully consider, regarding some of the current political folks wanting to become our next President.
"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out - Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out - Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me."
We must remember our past, those that stood up against tyranny in all forms, and remain faithful to the words written on the Statue of Liberty "Give me your tired, your poor......." With the exception of Native Americans, we are all immigrants.

I have just been taking a look down memory lane of my blog ---- the above was posted, by me in Nov 2015........ So we have had over 2 years of the current occupant in the White House, doing and saying things that most of us would never have thought possible in 2015!
What sickens me is that today(05-20-19) Draft Dodger in Chief "joked" about being in office for 3,4 maybe 5 terms..... If you are not scared about the path our country is taking, especially since the leaders of the current Republican party seem to be bowing down to this idiot, then I really feel sorry for you! What is even more frightening is what this is going to do to the future generations of our country.....
This new immigration policy that he has proposed, well let me just say this, under these terms (skilled, highly educated.....) HIS MOTHER and 2 of his 3 WIVES would never have been allowed in our country......
SPEAK UP AMERICA OR THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO SPEAK UP FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
