The Imperial Presidency

[robkelk]

This seems like as good a place as any to drop this.


First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out — because I was not an immigrant.

Then they came for the bureaucrats, and I did not speak out — because I was not a bureaucrat.

Then they came for the judges, and I did not speak out — because I was not a judge.

When will they come for you — and will there be anyone left to speak?

— a pastiche of the words of Martin Niemöller



He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' Then they will go away to eternal punishment

- Jesus Christ, Matthew 25:45-46a (New International Version)
