Could Pastor Niemoller easily have been talking about the U.S. today?

They came first for the Communists.
But I wasn't a Communist, and I didn't speak up.
Then the came for the Jews.
But I wasn't a Jew so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the trade unionists.
But I wasn't in a trade union, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the Catholics.
But I am Protestant, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for me.
But by then, there was no one left to speak up.

We can't just sit back and let the government do what ever they want. We must speak up.
