What kind of ass-backward reasoning is that? First, I didn't accuse Japanese Americans of being part of the Axis and, as I'm sure you noticed, my post didn't have anything to do with Japanese Americans; you brought that up.

Second, Nazism is not a person's "heritage," it is a political ideology/movement. It is an absolutely intellectually dishonest argument to try to draw a parallel between my position that one did not have to be a member of the Nazi party to be considered a Nazi and the unjust treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII.

As for how I "attribute nazism [sic] to someone if they're not a nazi [sic]," that statement doesn't make any sense. If what you're asking is how I conclude that someone can be a Nazi without being a member of the Nazi party, go back and read what I wrote. I cited Orlow, Fertig, and Keuhne, all respected professors of German history/politics, for the proposition that membership in the Nazi party was too narrow a definition for who qualifies as a Nazi.

Lindbergh was a Nazi, regardless of whether he was a member of the Nazi party. As noted above, membership in the party is not a requirement for the designation of being a Nazi. Lindbergh moved from the U.S. to Europe, in part, to be closer to French scientist Dr. Alexis Carrel and was taken with Carrel's ideas about superior races and programs to purge criminals, the insane, and any others that weakened society. (Sound familiar?) He was the personal guest of Hermann Goering at the 1936 Summer Olympics and was so impressed by the "energy" of Germany under the Nazis that he planned to move to Berlin. This impressive "energy" was a result of "dictatorial direction." Those are his words, not mine. He was gushing over a dictatorial system of governance, which is, of course, an essential feature of Nazism.

Goering, on behalf of Hitler, awarded Lindbergh the Service Cross of the German Eagle after news about the persecution of Jews had been spreading out of Germany. He then gave a radio address in America urging the U.S. to stay out of the war and discussed his belief that "racial strength is vital" and civilization depended preventing "the infiltration of inferior blood." (Does that sound familiar too?)

Loving dictators in general, and Hitler in particular, along with believing in racial superiority and defending against "inferior blood" makes anyone a Nazi in my book.
