The Extreme Right lives in a fantasy world, that's full of artificial terrors -- things they just make up, to upset themselves.
My parents often told a story of carrying me, as a very young child, into porn movies. And in one, I perked up and paid a lot of attention every time the prostitute's little dog barked.
