"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

And a fusion center intelligence employee, who coordinated with the military, also considered civil disobedience to be 'terrorism.'"

Let's turn it back on them. . . let's start calling Civil *Obedience* "Terrorism." Because it is.
