“Do You Approve Or Disapprove Of The Way Dick Cheney Is Handling His Job As President?” – the first question in the Washington Post’s new poll.
HUSTLED INTO CAMPS: For the record, National Review’s John Derbyshire supports in principle the forcible internment of Chinese-Americans in the event a conflict with China, defends the internment of Japanese-American citizens in World War II and even posits that, in the event of a war with an African country (go figure), black Americans would support the African country. My favorite quote: “I guarantee that when the first U.S. carrier is sunk by Chinese action, or the first American city is erased by a Chinese ICBM, Chinese nationals, including those who are U.S. Citizens, will be hustled into camps faster than you can say “executive order” and will stay there for the duration, whatever the ACLU– or even the Supreme Court– thinks about it. I hope the camps will not be very uncomfortable, for I shall be there too– the Derbyshires travel as a family. I also hope that I shall be able to maintain sufficient detachment to understand that a responsible U.S. government really has no choice in the matter.” And this is someone William F Buckley is comfortable publishing twice a week?
