First they came for the "liberals," by eliminating the right of dissent through "free-speech" zones that continued to get further and further from the administration and grew smaller and smaller. But I am no liberal! So, I grumble at the TV and on the Internet. Then they came for the media, by allowing the "Fairness Doctrine" to continue to be non-existent and creating a propaganda machine run by the ruling party But I am not a member of the media! So, I grumble at the TV and swear off the "news." Then, they get brazen, and come for the gays, by appointing right-wing judges that reinstate the "crimes against nature" and "sodomy" laws; thereby, turning consenting adult relationships into criminal acts, costing people their jobs, homes, and lives But I am not gay! So, I grumble at the TV and vow to send money to gay rights groups. Then they come for immigrants, by making asylum impossible and closing off our borders through legislation. But, I am no immigrant (at least not a first-generation one)! So, I grumble at the TV and vow to join Amnesty International. Then they come for me and I can't speak up for myself because I am not in a "free speech" zone. I can't get the news to cover my arrest except as a dissident. I find the laws that the right-wing judges have created, now apply to me through vague and unconstitutional language. I can't even flee the country because the borders are closed! Leaving me wondering...how did this happen? I didn't see any "signs!"
