One factor that gets overlooked is that the incarceration of the J-Americans was also a huge land grab.

Southern California in particular was a rich agricultural area with much of the land owned by the JA's. That land was confiscated for non payment of taxes.

If FDR was going to be fair (he had no intention of that), then all property would have been put into trusts and returned to the owners after the war.

No doubt, many innocent Japanese-Americans were caught up in the WWII internment, but I suspect that the 20/20 hindsight being cast back to the early 1940s is just as shortsighted, and lacking in understanding of the realities of that time, as many other exercises in 20/20 hindsight some Americans just can’t resist indulging in.

There is no shortage of America hating leftist and guilt-ridden, self-loathing Americans who have an orgasmic emotional experience whenever America apologizes, or in any way admits some past wrong, however legitimate or illegitimate it might be.

I think entirely unwarranted self-importance and self-righteousness have more to do with this sort of thing than anything else. Some people spend their lives looking for the next emotional orgasm and this is one of the ways they go about it.

I bet if I search my memory far enough back, I can remember when the FBI actually went after communists in America. We even had congressional committees investigating Un-American (communist) activities. I can even remember a TV series in the 50's called "I Led Three Lives" about a guy working undercover for the FBI against communist infiltrators. And I'm pretty sure that J. Edgar Hoover was always going after communist plotters. Say, is it a figment of my imagination or wasn't it once illegal to be a communist in America?

My classified project received an FBI courtesy briefing sometime around 1985. So, when I heard the name Frank Marshal Davis, Obama’s mentor, I remembered where I’d first heard that name; 1985. Davis was in a long list of people and organizations receiving direct financial help from the KGB. The briefing said that various homosexual groups were also receiving direct money aid in the form of checks made to cash, some as little as $500 to somebody who had just made the news and some in the thousands. The purpose was to undermine the basis of America, the family unit...Christianity and American ideals.

I am certain that same briefing could not be given today.

I disagree that McCarthy went over the top and poisoned things.

McCarthy did during the years from 1950-1953 what we wish Trump would do now on a variety of issues. He grasped those issues, grappled with them tooth and nail against the most powerful people, did it all by himself, and doggedly would not relent. They eventually killed him.

The vision of McCarthy we have been fed for most of our lives by schools, media, and the history books was a picture painted by, framed by, and presented by the Left. It is flat out wrong and unfair.

And, like Leftists of today, the Leftists then who were protecting Communists in our government (including Harry Truman) unfairly accused McCarthy of EXACTLY what they themselves were doing.

Joseph McCarthy was an American hero, and he should have been treated as such.

I mean, from what he typed I can only assume that it's the old line that Africans and the slaves themselves were equally if not MORE culpable for the horrors of slavery compared to the whites, and thus they have no grounds to claim that they were victims in the slavery system or that they deserve any kind of special consideration or empathy for it?

I agree she'll be a candidate again by 2020 but I think she is more likely to be a candidate for a liver transplant than a candidate for President.

I heard that she graduated from wine to hard liquor since her defeat at the hands of Trump in 2016. She is not in good health, she's prescribed multiple medications and the alcohol isn't helping. Or so I heard. (Source was a Clinton author who was interviewed on WOR. I don't recall the author's name but it will probably come to me as soon as I post this. He was touting his new book.)
