And I'll counter your counter by pointing out that you made a definite statement that not all the neo-Nazis marching in Columbus are anti-semites, claiming knowledge of fact. I don't understand how you know that. Seems like hopeful guesswork to me.
And I'll counter this counter by saying that I prefaced my statement by saying I don't think, although I will concede that you may have misconstrued what I said as being an absolute statement of fact.

But enough of this counter service, let's just agree to disagree.

Current neo-nazis? I doubt they give a damn about the fuhrer (other than to piss people off; and FWIW, I don't think most have that loyalty to Trump), really don't care about the restoration of Germany's lands, have the same hatred of Jews (sure, some are antisemites, but not all)
I will agree to disagree that "I don't think most have . . . " in any way negates the subsequent categorical claim that "(sure, some are antisemites, but not all)".

I will also agree that at least one of us misconstrued what you wrote :lol:

Being a grammar Nazi of long - very long - standing, I will point out that Meade probably meant 'pax tecum.'

Andy--don't those two phrases mean the same thing, or is "vobiscum" for the second person plural, while "tecum" is the singular. If so, maybe he meant peace be with me and the horse I rode in on?

I follow the German adage that if there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people are sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.
GAH!

THIS.

I thought being Big and double R to boot, a plural was necessary?

And for Joe

Isn't 'National Socialist' redundant?
