Of course we are...

In a conversation on rights the other night in a chat room, I was confronted with the old saw about Nazi's coming for first the communists and no one complaining, etc...

So, while sitting in church yesterday contemplating yesterday, today and tomorrow, I recalled the conversation and offer this in response:


First the illegal immigrants came
and the left demanded their right to work
and the right was called racist for disagreeing,


then the hate preachers came
and the left demanded their right to freedom of speech
and the right was called bigoted for disagreeing,


then the jihadists came
and the left demanded their right to freedom of religion
and the right was called intolerant for disagreeing,


then the hijackers came and killed thousands
and the left demanded their right to protest
and the right was called oppressors for complaining.


Is there any reason why the world should not believe we are a
nation of illegal, hate preaching, religious warmongers?
