"THE AMERIKAN WAY"

by Ted Rudow III,MA
EXO.20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. EXO.20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
The Congress have defeated the flag burning bill. I have never seen so many swastikas flying,--you know, those red, white, and blue swastikas? Everywhere the swastikas are flying to show that they're a red-blooded, red-white-and-blue America! On the cars--American flag stickers flying, homes flying the flag, and all the hard-hats showing how patriotic they are!
Why all this sudden desperate show of Americanism? "We are American, this is our swastika! "The American flag is going to be the swastika of Bush' Amerika! It's already being used just like the swastika was being used in Germany--to show patriotism, loyalty, love for Fatherland: "We are the true Germans! We're the ones who really want peace! We're the ones who really want to save the Fatherland! The rest of you guys are a bunch of radicals, and disloyal traitors and Commies and whatnot, Jews! We're gonna wipe you out!"
“When the Nazis came for the Communists, I didn't speak up, because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up because I was not 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 the Catholics, and I was a Protestant, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for me ... and by that time, there was no one left to stand up for me.” German Minister Martin Niemoller
