We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We
must remember always that accusation is not proof
and that conviction depends upon evidence and due
process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of
another. We will not be driven by fear into an
age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history
and our doctrine, and remember that we are not
descended from fearful men.

We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the
defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to
exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom
abroad by deserting it at home. The actions of
the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused
alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and
given considerable comfort to our enemies. And
whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't
create this situation of fear he merely
exploited it -- and rather successfully.

First they came for the Communists and I didnt
speak up because I wasnt a Communist. Then they
came for the Jews and I didnt speak up because I
wasnt a Jew. Then they came for the trade
unionists and I didnt speak up because I wasnt
a trade unionist. Then they came for the
Catholics and I didnt speak up because I was a
Protestant. Then they came for me and there was
no one was left to speak up. Pastor Martin
Niemöller
