What are they smoking over on Capitol Hill?

In their never-ending ignominious march toward mediocrity and self-flagellation, the democrats in the House are calling on the United States taxpayers to pay reparations--for the actions of Japan!

Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act - Recognizes the suffering and the loyalty of the people of Guam during the Japanese occupation of Guam in World War II.

Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to make specified payments to: (1) living Guam residents who were killed, injured, interned, or subjected to forced labor or marches resulting from, or incident to, such occupation and subsequent liberation; and (2) survivors of compensable residents who died in war or survivors of compensable injured residents (such payments to be made after payments have been made to surviving Guam residents).

Defines "compensable Guam decedent" and "compensable Guam victim."

Directs the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission to specify injuries that would constitute a severe personal injury or a personal injury. Authorizes the Commission to adjudicate claims and determine payment eligibility.

Requires: (1) claims to be filed within one year after the Commission publishes public notice of the filing period in the Federal Register; and (2) the Commission to make filing period information available to the public through the media in Guam.

Directs the Secretary of the Interior to establish a grant program for research, educational, and media activities that memorialize the events surrounding the occupation of Guam during World War II, honor the loyalty of the people of Guam during such occupation, or both.

Do these nut-cases understand that it was Imperial Japan, and not the United States that perpetrated atrocities, not only on the residents of Guam, but on those of the United States, as well? Do these nut-cases realize that there was already a dear price paid on the part of Americans to liberate the residents of Guam, namely their blood? And yet the mental midgets on the democrat side want to assuage their misplaced guilt by making American citizens pay again, this time to the tune of $125 million, for atrocities we never committed?

Where is Japan in this equation? Why aren't they paying? Haven't Americans sacrificed enough, spilling our blood and in the process wiping out our own future generations of what would be the sons and daughters of those killed trying to liberate the Guamanians?

WTF have the democrats been smoking!?!
