"and the government was allowed to arrest them at will and interrogate them, no matter what they did, just on the suspicion. Very similar today to what we have in the United States, thanks to the Patriot Act."
All of this BS from the Left about a lack of due process and taking away rights really burns me. This is not a new thing, it has been going on in this country for decades under "The War on Drugs" and the freedom loving left doesn't give a rats' behind. Now all of the sudden when people who are actually attempting to directly murder innocent people the left jumps in to rescue them. What about the dude who gets busted with a joint and has his car taken away or the family that loses thier home when a pot plant is found in the backyard, or the black man whose $2000 in cash he just withdrew from the bank is seized by the police?
And what did FDR do during the war ?
