However, nothing you can tell me will make me think I should judge the incarcerations as without merit.
I do grow weary of trying to be polite in the face of what I see as an absence of logic on your part. Maybe you might spend some of your great time & energy on the survivors of OUR military-say those from the South Pacific, WWII who are still psychologically harmed by what the Japanese military did?
Absolutely incorrect. I seek to correct your myopic interpretation of a blatantly unconstitutional act. Furthermore, I question your "conservatism" because of your ridiculous commitment to this social policy by FDR (the most socialist President in our national history). Again, we ask the most important question, "Why do you choose to defend a racist policy by a socialist President?"
You seek to lecture me ( in your first reply to me ) on racism-& I view such charges as the first refuge of scoundrels & fools.
Surely you do not deny the racial character of Executive Order 9066! Your attempt to attack me as prejudicial is silly. We are defending the constitutional preservation of law, even in times of national threat. You appear to defend racist policy because of your own concept of personal weakness. I suppose you also feel that segregrated military forces were good?
I can only view what was done as a reaction to military attacks & a WAR of survival. I am sure that many harmless people were treated harshly, & as I have previously agreed, many of these people showed quite normal human traits & rose far above their predicament.
Is there a reason these people would not show "quite normal human traits"? Are you implying that Japanese people are inhuman? Because if you are making such an implicit accusation, it shows the degree of your misshapen views (and your weakminded inability to divorce your thinking from liberal-socialist propaganda spewed from New York media networks over the last sixty years).
Most simply got on with their lives & don't cry for public sympathy. Endless complaints only hurt the cause
Do you consider it "complaining" when Jews appropriately memorialize and institutionalize a collective world memory of the horrors of racism and murder? Our nation should welcome the memorialization of the very sites of the camps, but instead chooses to participate in the liberals denial of events. How sad that you choose to make yourself a slave of such rhetoric!
-as I said, I would be happy to see a complete & CORRECT accounting of property loss & allowance for reperations already paid vs. any remaining balance in inflation adjusted dollars...
After sixty years, there is no methodology which can appropriately compensate for lost lives and lost opportunity. There is no way to put a monetary value on the unfair and unjust imprisonment of any man. Yet, you appear to feel that such a monetary compensation can be calculated. I think not.
For many, the acknowledgement from President Ford and the apology proclamation by President Reagan were more important than the token check from Presidents Bush-41 or Clinton.
However, nothing you can tell me will make me think I should judge the incarcerations as without merit.
That having been said. If a military officer decided that you and your family and your entire ethnic group are a national security threat, would you feel it was appropriate?
Apparently, you have no concept of the need for focusing justice on the criminal, not the innocent.
You're a socialist aren't you????
I do grow weary of trying to be polite in the face of what I see as an absence of logic on your part.

What makes you think that I haven't spent time caring for our veterans?
It is disturbing that you will not acknowledge the psychological, economic, and political harm created by FDR's New Deal Democrats. They are the American Taliban. As long as weak-minded Republicans/Conservatives continue to support the lionized view of FDR, they will only perpetuate the veils held over our eyes.
If you want to wear your burqua, that's your choice. But as for me, I would prefer to discuss public policy through cogent discussion of judicial opinion.
