First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Pastor Martin Niemöller

In case you all have not noticed, the Republican'ts/Bush never met a personal freedom they did not consider a direct threat to their power, it is the primary reason I got my Irish/EU passport. We are past the point of no return when it comes to the constitution and facism. Gay marriage is just the tip of the iceburg, as a gay man it is critical to me, but as an American first I have far bigger things to worry about, like getting the hell out while I can.
