HEY! I meant OUR part of WWII! Hitler invaded POLAND, remember? Had the dork not been an AS and declared war on the US after the US declared war on Japan, we may never have gotten into the European war. Gotta 'splain everything to dogs.

I believe it was a fascist, Hitler, who launched the invasion of Poland to start WWII. That qualifies as "extreme right wing" under most definitions. Ahh, but his party was the National Socialist Party and in most respects, his policies and tactics were more akin to Stalin's than to anyone typically described as "right wing" in US politics. In fact, many of his early followers were disaffected communists as were those of Mousolini. OTOH, "right wing" in the US is usually used to describe, with a hoped for negative stigma attached, those who value individual rights over group rights and believe government should serve citizens, not the other way around. Fascists, socialists and communists are about as far as you can get from that political philosophy. In fact, they more closely resemble many on the US left today. JMO, Bob
