75 years ago today FDR's executive order 9066

[whitehall]

For the life of me I can't imagine how the current radical left can defend the atrocities of the FDR administration by relating it to a modern world of fantasy politics. Y'all lefties can keep the argument running though.

A mistake in 1942 doesn't justify Trump's current atrocities.

And no, we're not going to stop pointing that out, even if it does upset you snowflakes. This is about you, and your ongoing support for Trump's atrocities. You'll need to find some other way to justify them, being that doing it this way only gets you laughed at.

And by the way, no leftists were seriously supporting FDR's decision. You've learned the art of lying well from your various mentors (Trump, Alinksy, Goebbels, Stalin).

Read the thread again.

 

[rightwinger]

Do lefties understand the difference between travel bans and walls and secure borders ....and concentration camps?

Primary motivation for all is bigotry

Whatever The President does it always equates to a Whiter America, Thank You Dr. Trump. Screw roosevitz.

 

[rightwinger]

Apologists for the scumbag fdr will go to any illogical, absurd degree and sacrifice any self-respect to try and spin things for the worst piece of shit ever to hold the office. Shameless.

Internment worked

They prevented Japanese terrorist attacks

 

[WheelieAddict]

Remember at the time the Japanese were a horrible machine of death. Suicide attacks, no respect for rules of war, tons of atrocities. They were probably worse than the fascists.

The 'logic' of tyrants and their useful fools.

Who? The American citizens in fdr's concentration camps?

The Japanese Americans had it good. Americans were shot in the head after they were marched to death by the Japanese.

 

[Marek1483]

Internment camps for muzzies?

 

[whitehall]

A mistake? The left will only concede that arresting American citizens without due process and putting them behind barbed wire and guard towers and giving them about 48 hours to rid themselves of their real estate and personal property at bargain prices was ....a mistake? A halt to immigration from belligerent countries was logical but the FDR administration also refused to accept Jewish refugees. If there are people today who justify in retrospect the incarceration of American citizens without due process simply because they were taught to admire FDR we have lost our minds.

FDR, America's greatest president according to the American people that lived in his generation, and the greatest president according to America's greatest historians. Got anything else, how about: didn't eat his veggies?

 

[Marek1483]

No more wars for joos

The only thing you can say to justify FDR's executive order authorizing the internment of American citizens without due process is that FDR may have been suffering a mental breakdown in his 3rd term. It didn't even make sense from a security standpoint. Hawaii was a hotbed of Japanese espionage but the Executive Order only applied to Japanese in California. None of the other states were even impacted. It's possible that FDR supporters were eyeing valuable real estate owned by Japanese Americans or the administration had gone insane. FDR had appointed a former KKK member to the Supreme Court and Justice Black paid him back by writing the majority opinion authorizing American concentration camps.

I make a motion to "blame the Judiciary instead of the Fed", on that one.

It was well known to FDR that Japanese spies were crawling all over Hawaii.

His fear was that California would be next.

It was actually a blunder by Yamamoto and Togo not to invade California when they had the chance. This would have sucked the last remaining US carriers towards them and then the Japanese could have finished the job they only started at Pearl Harbor.

So FDR had to take radical action and so he concentrated all Japanese and Japanese-Americans into concentration camps so that they could not spy for Japan.

It was a smart move.

Not politically correct, but smart.

If moosleems in America start rioting and burning down buildings the same thing can happen to them again if it gets out of hand.

10USC311 is federal law; we have a Second Amendment.

Just a "victim of the ignorance of his times".

Partisan Is a Contraction of "Part Insane"

Exactly. During wartime, we can't take chances. Besides, the Japanese in the internment camps were also being protected from Americans overreacting to Pearl Harbor.

Because it was a Democrat who did it, knee-jerk GOPers all of a sudden become multiculties.
