The wheel of history coming around again...

The names change, both of the victims and the victimizers, but nothing else changes. What the nativists in the lege and on the 9th floor of the Executive Tower are doing is nothing new, they're just adding an Arizona twang to the litany of hate.

From Pastor Martin Niemoller, speaking on the rise of Nazi Germany:

"They came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for me and by that time no one was left to speak up."
