Two more years ashamed

Tuesday, 03 July 2007

Two years ago the post "Holocaust Survivor Leaving US" was published on the Justice for None website. At that time it was becoming clear to those who cared to have their eyes open that abuse of power, disregard for freedoms, and tyrannical arrogance were becoming more and more prevalent among those in power in our country.

Not only has the Bush administration instilled a sense of disdain for America around the world, they have actively undermined the freedoms of citizens in the United States of America. And we've done nothing to stop it. Tomorrow, on July 4, as you celebrate the founding (and the founding ideals) of our nation, have the decency to feel a little shame.

Again, the below was published in 2005. We're two years older. And two more years ashamed -- or at least we should be. -sm

Excerpt from the Justice For None website:

So I heard the moving van pull up this morning. When I got home this evening I happened to spy my neighbor (he's like 85 years old - I don't know exactly, but he's old, talks and moves very slowly) standing on the sidewalk next to the van. I walked over and shook his hand, and we started talking. I asked him where he was moving, and he said, "Back to Germany."

I had been stationed in Germany for two years while in the military, so I lit up, and commented about how beautiful the country was, and inquired if he was going back because he missed it.

"No," he answered me. "I'm going back because I've seen this before." He then commenced to explain that when he was a kid, he watched with his family in fear as Hitler's government committed atrocity after atrocity, and no one was willing to say anything. He said the news refused to question the government, and the ones who did were not in the newspaper business much longer. He said good neighbors, people he had known all his life, turned against his family and other Jews, grabbing on to the hate and superiority "as if they were starved for it" (his words).
