First they came...

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out. Because I was not a Socialist 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.‘First They Came’ Pastor Martin Niemoller

At first it was the Colored, the Negro the African American, the Black person. They were never really born in this nation, just bred. They certainly never earned their right of passage to actually function as full citizens; how absurd. Perfect example is this Kenyan who pretends he was elected by a majority of Americans to lead this red WHITE and blue nation of ours. So the Tea-Publicans did all they could to isolate the Blacks from participating in democracy, denied voting rights, and replaced the N word with the word Thug more politically correct but just as divisive and mean spirited. They came for the Colored.

It then was about the Queer, the Pansy, the Homosexual the Gay person. They were the rot that God feared would pollute the land. They were certainly disciples of the Devil out to destroy marriage, ruin family values, deny good Christians access to their own religion. No Founding Father ever intended to include these Gays in the Constitution, and the audacity for men who love men or women who love women to even consider a place at this nations table of democracy. So the Tea-Publicans placed amendments to their state constitutions picking and choosing all the hateful words of their own Bible as reason and rhyme to stop the Gay from being an equal partner in the ways of the United States. They came for the Homosexual.

Soon it became about the laziness of the Poor, the lack of grit from the Unemployed, the absurdity that Elderly Folk thought that age would bring them anything but death. Leeches, cockroaches they were called undesirables, wanting scraps from hard working real Americans. Maybe they were closeted Socialists luxuriating on the dole of land imagining that the masters of plantation actually owed these mongrels a scrap of bread. Deemed to be the enemy for wanting quality health care, a decent wage, a fair opportunity at work, the Tea-Publicans passed laws to exempt these losers from ever moving forward. They came for the Undesirable.

“Republicans don’t have a war on women,”  Mike Huckabee said. “We’re having a war for women. To empower them to be something other than victims of their gender.”

“If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control, because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it,” he continued. “Let us take that discussion all across America, because women are far more than the Democrats have played them to be.” (Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, preacher, presidential candidate, and Fox News host.) Now one more Tea-Publican has added his voice in his disdain for women. Along with the cadre of men who believe in legitimate rape/women motivate rape/women’s, place is at home at the beckon call of her man/feminism is the downfall of America, the Tea-Publicans again want to deny any woman the right to her reproductive and health decisions. And now they are coming for the Women. Wonder who they will come for next?
