My Thoughts
We should remind ourselves frequently of the post-war confession by the German theologian and Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller. It speaks loudly about the cowardice of politicians, intellectuals and clergy in the face of evil.
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a CommunistThen they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a SocialistThen they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionistThen they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a JewThen they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.
From the Washington Examiner: “Cancel culture will use your past to take you out, unless you’re one of its own” and I heard this the other day. “The essence of Cancel Culture and Identity Politics is cannibalistic. The left is now eating its own.” As Earl Pitts, arguably America’s favorite redneck commentator, always closes his commentary, “Wake up, America!”
Just my thoughts for a Thursday, for what it is worth.
