The R's were too busy selling scrap iron to Japan and singing the praises of Hitler and Mussolini.yet the D's did it. ironic eh? I supposed you don't like your parties history I guess. It's irrelevant today.August 10, 1988
The Members of Congress and distinguished guests, my fellow Americans, we gather here today to right a grave wrong. More than 40 years ago, shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry living in the United States were forcibly removed from their homes and placed in makeshift internment camps. This action was taken without trial, without jury. It was based solely on race, for these 120,000 were Americans of Japanese descent.
Yes, the Nation was then at war, struggling for its survival and it's not for us today to pass judgment upon those who may have made mistakes while engaged in that great struggle. Yet we must recognize that the internment of Japanese-Americans was just that: a mistake. For throughout the war, Japanese-Americans in the tens of thousands remained utterly loyal to the United States. Indeed, scores of Japanese-Americans volunteered for our Armed Forces, many stepping forward in the internment camps themselves. The 442d Regimental Combat Team, made up entirely of Japanese-Americans, served with immense distinction to defend this nation, their nation. Yet back at home, the soldier's families were being denied the very freedom for which so many of the soldiers themselves were laying down their lives.
See they support the rounding up of people based on race as long as a (D) does it..
As usual you are an idiot.
The detention of Americans of Japanese descent was a national disgrace.
Those who have been expressing support for such a disgrace in this thread have all been Conservatives- nary a (D) in the bunch
The Kennedy's were Republicans?
Silly far left drones..
Good reading.
