Progressives have a history of this in america.And I didn't say that you did say anything about mass killings. But when you say things like "as I remember it FDR and Hitler were the only ones putting people in concentration camps", you're inferring that A. FDR is as bad as Hitler and B. That they were the only ones putting people in concentration camps. Neither is true. And it has nothing to do with "progressives" doing this. This country has been rampant with racism and intolerant of immigrants throughout its history, regardless of political party and/or ideology.
Quote:But yes your right.... There is a diffence between Hitler and FDR/Wilson.... But we certainly don't treat FDR and Wilson the same as we do .... Southern white slave owners who also rounded up a particular group ..... Not sure what's worse.... That private citizens did this ..... Or the federal government.... Led by men who believe the power should be taken away from the legislature and given to the executive branch .....Neither is worse, one is just as bad as the other. Heck the founding fathers were slave owners (I know it's a cliché point, but then again so is FDR's Japanese camps). No doubt this country has had a troublesome history. But I feel like we are making progress.
