Let's continue the comparison.

Roosevelt also threw Japanese residents into detention camps by the tens of
thousands. Imagine if Bush 43 tried to do that with Muslims.

Roosevelt was wrong in his day, and our Congress not too long ago acknowledged
precisely that.

If 43 gets reelected, we may not have to do very much imagining. We presently
have an undisclosed number of Muslims in detention who have not yet been
charged with any crimes against the state, nor have they been allowed access to
legal counsel and they've been subjected to a lot of other things made possible
by the Patriot's Act. The numbers may burgeon in time.

I don't know where we're going with this comparison. Throwing people into
concentration camps because you fear something they might possibly do some day
in the future without a shred of evidence is no more conscionable (sp?) today
than it was when Roosevelt did it in 1942.
