Default Are you upset about the Japanese Shinto shrine a half mile from Pearl Harbor?

Not as much as I am about Mt Rushmore being in sacred Native America.

No, because the Japanese have the right to worship. Only a few were involved in pearl harbor, why should we judge an entire nation like that? It is a shrine. They have a right to worship. Nothing more.

Same with the Ground Zero mosque, the most American thing to do is to build it. Amen.

Are you upset that FDR imprisoned 110,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry, without any charges or trial? Liberals like to forget that they were the kings of racism.

Perhaps if they wait 60-some years to build "bridges", it will not be unacceptable either... especially a HALF MILE AWAY! There is a porn video store closer: three for $20 when I was there!

Shrine, no. After all, no few Japanese sailor / airmen did perish in what was for them a very real and lasting expression of contempt for a transient American Foreign Policy.

And they would no doubt be very proud that we have no such policy today. And that they ultimately DID influence American politics SO MUCH that we are now on the verge of economic collapse, because we reversed THAT economic policy.

So wait, maybe I actually am...
