Personally, I think the gov't was right during WWII to round up the Japanese. And it was also right to later make an "I'm sorry" payment to them. Our rights were not damaged ultimately by that, but by the Democrats determination to use wartime to strengthen their power over us. I just don't have those concerns now. But I will read everything you put up here, because I respect your opinions.

As I respect yours.

There are only +/- 2 years of our current leadership left. What then? That is my concern. I don't trust Bush. I wouldn't trust Ghandi, as presidient, not to trample my rights because I get the idea that to get elected one must have a certain amount of leverage held against them to go all the way. I don't trust government period when it comes to anything as important as my freedom. We keep giving them inches and they keep taking feet...sooner or later those feet are going to add up to miles and where will we be then?

I'm torn over the WWII round-ups. At least they were targeted at the right people without regard to PC sensibilities, but there were rights violations of high order IMO. That would never fly today against citizens, as the Japanees prisoners were at the time, but the folks we need to get rid of are not even citizens. We could, with the right leadership, just export them back to the ME and be done with it.

An awful lot of our Muslim enemies in this country, and those who support them, are American citizens, and that should not protect their efforts to destroy us.
