FDR had camps for Japanese Americans...Hitler had camps for Jewish Germans....Mussolini had camps for liberals.....YIKES! If the GOP ever gets in power, it's a high probability!
No it's not. That's the sort of thing democrats do.

My argument is that they were nothing like Nazi Concentration Camps and the fools on this board seem to not understand that.
No one said they were just like the Nazi death camps, you idiot. The FACT remains that they were concentration camps.
O.K. I will play your shallow little woid [sic] game.
Of course it can and will happen again. Can the American people be frightened again by the unknown, will the American people try to create conditions where they might feel safer and so on? Look at the fear expressed on these boards, the dire predications. To have fear and want to remove the fear is part of the human condition and will happen again. Fortunately, in the United States the fear is somewhat controlled and with strong leadership can be short and temporary. The real danger is the leadership uses the fear to create more fear and bingo we can have real problems. Think of what some leaders could have done with that fear. Looking back at that period now in the calm cool of the evening it is hard to understand, but the fear was real, sort of an Elm Street thing but it was a controlled fear, and as soon as the fear receded the camps began to close.
I was in a graduate history class right after the war and one of the assignments was to study that episode and determine the politicial motivations behind the camps and the personal gain that ensued. All done by the use of fear.

It's not a game, idiot, it's a FACT.
.......most do not know how hostile Americans were towards Japanese after Pearl Harbor....the Japanese were much safter in the relocation camps than they would have been in California .
"Most" DO know, you ignorant fool. And throwing innocent, loyal Americans into concentration camps behind barbed wire under armed guard towers 'for their own good' is the antithesis of what America was founded upon and stands for. Your comments mark you as immoral and anti-American. Fuck off.
That's what was going on the panic about the war and the invasion of the Pacific and whatnot," Scalia said. "That's what happens. It was wrong, but I would not be surprised to see it happen again, in time of war. It's no justification but it is the reality."
The closest I ever saw to that level of hysteria was post 9-11 towards Muslims
Post 9/11 was nowhere near anything like that.
It was certainly close to a concentration camp. .
O.K. I will play your shallow little woid [sic] game.
It's not a game, idiot, it's a FACT.
You are as short on facts as you are on good sense. .
I usually have no use for Scalia, but he made a good point.
We get scared enough, we stop being polite and start getting real.
It could easily happen again.
It's not a game, idiot, it's a FACT.

Half a dozen dictionary definitions were provided earlier in this thread for idiots like you who are unfamiliar with the English language. None of your un-American bullshit will change the FACT that FD-fucking-R threw innocent, loyal Americans into CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
Oh! The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!!!! Nice one chicken little. You should try out for a position as an evangelical preacher....You'd make a great Jim Jones.We are on the verge of massive civil unrest...which will necessitate internment camps for thousands and thousands.

Some moron claimed our founding father's would not have approved of what Roosevelt did aka internment of the Japanese.
Muddled and shallow thinking at best to claim that.
First of all times change....the founding fathers had no conception, could not have had any conception of what modern America would be like....such knowledge lay far beyond the powers of any mortal...they are not to be faulted for this.
Could the founding fathers foresaw the fact that in 1941 Ameica's west coast would be the host to thousands of Japanese whose kinsmen would launch a devastating attack on America? Of course not.
Could the founding fathers foresaw the development of modern weapons of mass destruction? Of course not.
Could the founding fathers have known mankind would develop a weapon that could be fitted into a suitcase that could destroy a entire city? Of course not....so the fallacious argument that our founding fathers would not approve of what Roosevelt did is beyond ridiculous.

The founding fathers endorsed slavery
Not exactly the moral high ground
How much difference between an internment camp and an Indian reservation?

The following has been posted before....but if you study it you will see where your argument is fallacious.
Such does not deserve any attention .....irregardless---
