·Then they came...·
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent,
I was not a social democrat.When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
This is one of the many versions of a poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984). He was a Lutheran pastor in Germany who was eventually imprisoned in a couple different concentration camps. The poem is specifically about The Holocaust but it can be applied to many different situations.
Recently there has been a little something going on in the US. These two guys are debating and campaigning and they're trying to get your vote so that they can become the leader of our country. Perhaps you've heard this.
Anyway, if you ask people what the most important issue is in our country today, you'll get one of a few answers. The economy, gas prices, health care, and the war in Iraq. These 4 things are seemingly the most important issues. Some of you might have noticed that there was something missing from the list. If you did notice, you're very correct. That little abortion issue is missing.
The reason I bring this up is because abortion was not talked about in the latest presidential debate. It seems that being able to afford a mortgage or to drive your car to grandma's house without taking out another loan is more important than the abortion holocaust. Every single day people who have been deemed undesirable are being ripped from their mother's wombs and placed in zip-lock bags full of chlorine. It's far beyond sickening. And all the presidential hopefuls care to talk about is the economy?
Let's add another verse or two.
When they came for the unborn,
I remained silent,
I had already been born.When I was old and crippled and "undesirable",
there was no one left to speak out.
I apologize for butchering the cadence of the poem but I think my point is clear. We need to watch what is happening to our next generation. The babies who are not being killed are growing up and being indoctrinated to believe that it's OK to kill someone that they don't want around, namely YOU, when you are old and no longer useful.
The murder of millions happened in the 30's and 40's and it's happening again.
