Got Any Complaints?

Think the healthcare system sucks?

Think your taxes are too high?

You want clean air, clean water, clean food?

Or a little bit of the natural earth left for your kids to see?

And speaking of your kids – our kids – are you satisfied with the quality of the education they’re getting?

Maybe you think cops ought not to taser 11-year old kids, or elderly grandmothers, or guys in wheelchairs?

Got any problem with the US killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Pakistan or Yemen? And spending billions and billions of your dollars to do it?

Maybe you think that money should be spent on healthcare, education or infra-structure?

Anything else?

Any other complaints at all?

Then you’re a terrorist, Pal.

First 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 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 out for me.

Pastor Martin Niemoller

So you better keep your mouth shut and do what you’re told – and like it.

Otherwise you’re very likely to wind up in prison.

Indefinitely.

Or dead.

Also indefinitely.

We have come full circle.

We are now all the things we once claimed to despise.

These fascist sons of bitches are turning the America I loved into the 4^th Reich.

And all the new "good Germans" would do well to remember what happened with the third one.

If you don’t give a damn about justice or liberty for others, maybe you at least care something about your own freedom.

You think you’re immune?

Wise up.
