The photograph heading ‘Some Dare Call Them “Concentration Camps” (Pt. 1)’ is probably not a “Photo of Manzanar Relocation Center by Dorothea Lange, 1943.” but is probably a photograph looking west toward Heart Mountain at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center northeast of Cody, Wyoming.

The lack of accountability begins with the Department of Homeland Security, which appears to consider itself immune from such picayune nuisances as both public inquiry and even the courts.
—sounds like Blackwater…

Apologies for repeating myself, but I resubmit the CURRENT FEMA camps. Kudos to David for refocusing on the historical context for our concerns. I wish to underscore that, now,as then, it doesn’t matter if you are a citizen or not, Dubya gave himself to designate ANYONE as an “Enemy Combatant”. Ask Jose Padilla.

Lieberman: “Mr. Brown, I thank you very much. I will certainly support your nomination. I will do my best to move it through the committee as soon as possible so we can have you fully and legally at work in your new position.”

The solution is simple — if a bit idealistic. Get somewhere between 100,000 and 1,000,000 citizens. March on the camp. Tear the fucker down, burn every last bit of it, and sow the ground with salt.

I like the way you think.

I second that.

On the topic of dissonance, I saw a few minutes of the Ford funeral. OTOH you had a minister talking about the prince of peace. On the other you had soldiers standing around a coffin, artillery pieces firing off, a 21 gun salute from more soldiers with rifles, and finally about a dozen military jets flying overhead. I’m not religious but is it just me or was Jesus a card carrying member of the NRA?

The NRA would certainly like for us to believe so.

But that’s not what I believe. And I had the same reaction to the day’s event that you did.

[My favorite place to go for satire on the blasphemy which is the current militarized version of Jesus is of course Patriot Boy’s (aka General J.C. Christian’s) place for a regular dose of “Republican Jesus” snark.]

Utterly. Completely. Appalling.

This makes me want to print my US passport in large format on a t-shirt and wear it day and night.

Its not a stretch to think that if this “trend” of incarcerating “the others” continues, who is next?

I don’t know about everyone here, but I am a woman of color who could pass for Latina or Asian or African-American. I could easily be mistaken as an “illegal”. And even though we don’t want to take up that train of logic in our most paranoid of imaginations, there seems to be a bottomless pit of bad, if not horrific ideas that seem to get funded by these conservative whackos in the White House and in the 109th Congress. And they get a pass because certain members of the leadership and “the base” seem to be licking their chops for it.

When are we going to stop allowing them this tacit “permission” that its OK to build this shit? Or OK for a radio announcer to set up a schedule of assassinations of Congresspeople who plan to vote for immigration amnesty?

When are we going to push back against these people who dare to say (as caught in “Borat”–”These minorities get everything in this country”.)

How much further down the bunny hole must we go before we’ve subdivided our last shred of human decency into oblivion?

When do we apply the brakes on insanity?
