    1945 - Per Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller:

    First they came for the Jews
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for the Communists
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a Communist.
    Then they came for the trade unionists
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a trade unionist.
    Then they came for me
    and there was no one left
    to speak out for me.

    and I did not speak out
    because I had MSNBC & CNN.
    Then we came for the Tea Party
    and I did not speak out
    because I had the democrats.
    Then they came for me
    and there was no one left
    to speak out for me because all finally awoke...
