Certainly, all of the original Nazis are dead. Only neo-Nazis survive. Would neo-Nazi be OK as a descriptive term?

If you took away two -words Nazi and Fascist the left would run of out words to call people. I commented on a facebook meme the other day about gay marriage the first answer I got back was full of vitriol and swear words. I called the guy on it and he tried to explain to me why I was an Effing Idiot and how my IQ and capacity for reasoned thought was lower than pigs. Some 20 post later I think I undid that train of thought and his final answer was why should he care it’s gunna happen anyway. Well there ya go all this name calling and vitriol really is a cover up for a lack of argument! We don’t need to get caught up in it we have sound reason on our side!

LOL maybe - but reason tops emotion if you don’t get caught up in the own crap. A lot of them are not stupid - they are lazy and parrot the same old lines. Someone who can think on their feet can cut them to ribbons. I thanked him in the end for his earnest discourse - His response *chirp chirp* yes the sound of crickets - I also think class shows out eventually too!

Israel is committing suicide if it passes this law.
