Being all diversity minded may bring disunity

It comes down to the same thing: When liberty is under attack, everybody is at risk. We cannot pick certain freedoms we like and those that we dislike.

Remember Pastor Martin Niemoller:

When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I was not a Jew.

When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

Remember Benjamin Franklin:

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."
