Bush supporters

[WiseGuy]

Almost forgot, I really didn't like his support for the "assault weapons" ban. I actually don't know why he'd support such a thing.

Yeah, I also forgot that.  Add that to my list, too!

My number one biggest complaint:
The Medicare Drug Benefit

Others include his support of steel tariffs and his signing of McCain-Feingold (not like he had a choice, but still).

Spending growth is mostly the fault of Congress, not Bush, but I am still disappointed.

[Protect Trans Hoosiers]

Faith based inititives, for one.  Bush's social positions worry me somewhat.

That's one of the few things I actually do like about Bush!

Jake just proved he's a fascist who despises civil liberties.

World War One: anti-war crowd is banned from speaking against the war.

Revolutionary War: Pro-British crowd was not received very happy by the anti-British colonists. Off they go to Canada.

World War Two: Potential spies in the Japanese community were shipped off to the desert.

World War Two again: Churchill has Mosley and his fascists locked up so they don't cause trouble.

Now to the times that they didn't and suffered consequences.

Vietnam War: Let human trash like Jane Fonda run around with the enemy. Should've had her taken away. Let a bunch of hippies ruin what could've been a fantastic victory.

Funny. You failed to mention anything about Hitler's stance on dissent. Napoleon's as well. Saddam Hussein? He might have won and staved off the American invasion if only he didn't allow those liberal whiners in his country to speak out against his government. I suppose the reason the British stormed our land and burned the capitol in 1812 is also because of the liberal whiners too, right?

For the record, many political experts agree that rounding up the Japanese in WWII was one of the most shameful things our government ever did. Those people represented virtually no threat and their confinement contributed virtually nothing to victory in the Pacific.

Indeed, the Japanese Internment camps were horrific.

Actually, I don't believe the camps themselves were horrific.  What could be considered horrific is the idea that people were rounded up and put into a camp. 

But at the time, such an action was understandable, if maybe still wrong.  It's easy to judge sucha  policy once the war is over, but at the time, the navy was in ruins in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack and the threat of a Japanese invasion was considered real.  It had also been observed how ethnic Germans living in countries that Hitler attacked had supported the invasion.  It was a very fearful time.

The interned Japanese were released from the camps well before the end of the war, once the Japanese threat had receded.

I beg to disagree.

Well, maybe you've done more research than I have on it.  I read about one of the camps once, and the description didn't make it sound that terrible.  I don't think it's all that important at this point.
