First Bush and Gonzales came for the terrorists, but I was not a terrorist, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the enemy combatants, but I was not a combatant, so I did not object. Then they came for the protestors resisting “free speech zones” near Bush campaign rallies, but I was not a protestor and so I only voiced my unease. If we - and our elected representatives- do not speak out now, loudly and forcefully, it may not be long before they come for the rest of us.
