See my post to myself.
You’re just one of those, who make excuses.

>>They don’t even know...

Yep, and the tub of hot water they and their fellow asexual tadpoles are swimming in isn’t a bathouse Jacuzzi either.

How could they? Saturday Night Live hasn’t had a skit about the process of demoralization /desensitization to inform them.

“The Stupid Party” exists in reality. We’ve always thought it meant the people in power. It wasn’t until recently that I realized it means the people who elect the liars. So, yes, the reality is stark. Republicans watch reality TV, Walking Dead, 24, and all the same filth the liberals watch. They turn it off only long enough to vote.

What about expanding background checks on gun purchases? Is that a legitimate suspension of civil rights?

No, it was not right. In America, you’re not guilty of crimes you never committed.

Neither is it on any of the very UNFUNNY, supposed "comedy" shows on late at night, I bet.

And schools ? Even graduate schools, today, don't contain the factual info that grammar school kids got in the 1950s!

THIS STUFF ( people not knowing what they should ) DRIVES ME CRAZY!

Reminds you of the Reagan polls, I think you are correct in your analysis. How does one go 20 up in a month, I don't believe PP or any other until after Christmas.

My Mom said at the time a lot of people were for the internment camps and actually there were a lot of Japanese and German spies in the US. I have heard other people her age say the same thing.

That is not my personal belief for any flamethrowers out there.

“Then how?”

Come on, really?

Enforce our existing laws; deport all Muslims; devote resources to detecting infiltrators.

Nothing’s perfect, but it wouldn’t be hard to do a decent job. Ike did a pretty good job without anything like the resources available now.

Supposedly, via my grandmother and mother, there were quite a lot of German spies in the New York tri-state area before we entered WW II and during it. Many posed as Belgians, or other nationalities.

Well, PPP for months has been pretty much dead center of Reuters/OAN Gravis/Morning Consult on the high side and Wall Street Journal/ABC/CNN on the low side, with Monmouth sort of out in left field.

There are really some good arguments about why it may have been better for the safety of Japanese-Americans to relocate them from the West Coast. I am not defending it, but it is hard to create the atmosphere that existed at the time of Pearl Harbor and the impact tht Japanese atrocities committed in the Philippines had on the general populace. Racial tensions were high and there was the risk of violence at a time when we were fighting for our very survival. It should be noted that we did not do the same thing in Hawaii.

Shocked by the December 7, 1941, Empire of Japan attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii that propelled the United States into World War II, one U.S. government response to the war (1941-1945) began in early 1942 with the incarceration of thousands of Japanese Americans on the West Coast and the territory of Hawaii. Approximately 120,000 Issei (first generation, Japanese immigrants) and Nisei (second generation, U.S. citizens) from the U.S. West Coast were incarcerated in War Relocation Authority (WRA) camps across the country--based on Executive Order 9066 (Feb. 19, 1942). Through separate confinement programs to the WRA, thousands of Japanese, German, and Italian citizens in the U.S. (and in many cases, their U.S. citizen relatives), classified as Enemy Aliens, were detained by the Department of Justice (DOJ) through its Alien Enemy Control Unit and, in Latin America, by the Department of State’s Special War Problems Division. Additionally, the U.S. Army held enemy aliens across the U.S. wherever the number of apprehensions was too few for the Immigration and Naturalization Service to operate a detention facility.

At the time of WWII, the United States had a large population of ethnic Germans. In 1940 more than 1.2 million persons had been born in Germany, 5 million had two native-German parents, and 6 million had one native-German parent. Many more had distant German ancestry. During WWII, the United States detained a total of 11,507 ethnic Germans, overwhelmingly German nationals. Similarly, a small proportion of Italian nationals and Italian Americans were interned in relation to their total population in the US.

During WWI President Woodrow Wilson issued two sets of regulations on April 6, 1917, and November 16, 1917, imposing restrictions on German-born male residents of the United States over the age of 14. The rules were written to include natives of Germany who had become citizens of countries other than the U.S.; all were classified as aliens. Some 250,000 people in that category were required to register at their local post office, to carry their registration card at all times, and to report any change of address or employment. The same regulations and registration requirements were imposed on females on April 18, 1918. Some 6,300 such aliens were arrested. Thousands were interrogated and investigated. A total of 2,048 were incarcerated for the remainder of the war in two camps, Fort Douglas, Utah, for those west of the Mississippi, and Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, for those east of the Mississippi.
