The "Jap-Ams"? Pardon me, your unwashed slip is showing.

Jap-Am, short for "Japanese-Americans". I don't know about you, but I
don't like typing any more than I have to, and I use abbreviations
when I can.


When we took these "threats to national security" off to prison camps

Correction, they were NOT prison camps.

Idiot. People were taken to these places and not allowed to leave. That's a
prison no matter how you look at it.

American citizens willingly curtailed many of their "rights" during
WWII, for the sake of the greater good.


You placed the word "rights" in quotation marks. One reason for using
quotation marks is to indicate that you don't believe the word indicates
something real. Is that what you believe?

In many cases, yes. People bandy the word "rights" around alot when
they really don't understand the meaning of the word. Some people
confuse "rights" with privileges. Also rights come with
responsibilities. There is no free ride. if you fail to live up to
those responsibilities, don't be surprised when you lose your rights.

Since the context of this discussion is American citizens being imprisoned
because of their ancestry, your use of quotation marks was completely
incorrect. Japanese citizens were denied ALL the rights guaranteed by the
law. They didn't willingly curtail them.

Harry, you really are going overboard on this. I think you need to put
this election into perspective. The reality is, what happens in
Washington, has very little impact on our lives. While you may be
distressed about the perceived shift to the right, the other reality is
that this country has *always* been governed by the center. It's a
fundamental property of democracy. That the DeLays, the Roves, the Bushs,
haven't grasped this concept, is setting them up for another failed
administration.

Our founding fathers mentioned *inalienable* rights. Which "rights" are
you referring to?

Gotta be careful here. Mrs. Eisboch reads this NG once in a while.

Horses are nice to rent at a nearby stable...for the half-day.

I had a mule once - great animal.

I work for one.

Ah - well...um......ok. :)

Excuse me, and I certainly don't want to get into partisan politics...


I exist to make you laugh.

Actually, I've been trying to avoid partisan politics the last few days.
I don't think it partisan to express fear over the direction the
evangelical Christians are taking this country. It is their theology
that worries me.


What worries me is the perception and proliferation by the losers in
this past election, that the winners are somehow all evangelical
Christians. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Then again, to someone devoid of morals, even the most modest of
Christian looks evangelical.

It's all a matter of perspective.

Dave

Probably a lot more veterans than evangelicals on the Republican side.
Kerry, Sharpton, and Jackson are much more evangelical (based on their
own verbiage) than most of the Christians I know.
