"It is a sad day in our country's tradition when an elected official ....openly agree's with an unconstitutional and racist policy long to be one of the darkest moments of America's history, the group said in a statement"
I have to disagree with this group. Japanese held in camps during World War II was bad but given the time in history of this country, the president did what he thought was right for the security and safety of American citizens. It was bad but it was not one of America's darkest moments....September 11, 2001, December 7, 1941 are dark moments for this country. I don't know how the Japanese held in these camps were treated but I do know how American prisoners held by Japan was a dark moment in the history of Japan!

I don't know how the Japanese held in these camps were treated but I do know how American prisoners held by Japan was a dark moment in the history of Japan! What the hell does that have to do with anything. The German's did the most unspeakable things to Jews, does that give Jewish Americans the right to confine German Americans? Freedom doesn't mean you can go to the grocery store when you want to buy some eggs. Stupid fat lazy American image is based on reality. Everyone here talks big crap about "Freedom", aka "Free Republic", but when freedom is truly tested, like in a time of war, we failed. And you here who make excuses and trivialize that failure prove that most of what we believe is a crock of dung. Oh, well, as long as it doesn't happen to me... right.
