5. Hitler's Germany started out this way too.
Seventy years ago when Hitler came to power he began to slowly strip away the rights of people who did not support him. Most Germans just looked the other way as they did not think that they would ever be subjected to such tyranny. As time went by it became apparent that no one was safe who did not support the Nazis. By that time it was too late to protest as it would result in your being imprisoned or even killed.

We should never make the mistake of thinking that it could never happen here. To see the right of Habeus Corpus being taken away from some folks we do not like should alert us to the possibility of it being taken away from all of us. The people in power today seem willing to do whatever it takes to stay in power, and that is a very real danger to us all. We need to take this very seriously and kick these folks out while we still can.
