I do however possess some innovative, new ideas that I have never seen mentioned or implemented before anywhere, and I will not be sharing those specific ideas on an internet forum. ---

Bah, they aren’t half as clever as the literally hundreds of innovative, new ideas that _I’m_ refusing to tell anyone about. ---

So that we can see who to hate _scientifically?_ And can we have Tom Cruise stop them from suicide bombing before they even think about it. Because that would be convenient. ---

> [@MindsEye\_Watering](#): > > Understood. Can’t divulge any secret Naz…_oops, I mean_…Conservative…plans in an open forum. The ignorance displayed by certain members of this forum is quite staggering and I also find it to be a bit comical at the same time, since this is a forum that is supposed to be fighting ignorance and not embracing it. I am not a nazi or a neo-nazi or even a nazi sympathizer. I don’t like nazis at all, and I am pretty sure that they would not like me either. I have not espoused any nazi ideas or nazi sympathies in this thread. As a matter of fact, it is the enemy that is closely aligned with nazi ideas and nazi sympathies, as hatred of jews thrives in the Islamic world, and we all know how much the nazis loved the jews. Anti-semitism is also a staple of much of the modern left, so if we’re going to be throwing out nazi accusations left & right here, then I will throw it right back at these people and suggest that they look in the mirror and they will probably be staring at a nazi. ---

Ya know, I honestly didn’t read this tripe past the first page and a quarter, but hasn’t anyone mentioned how well the Inquisition did a few hundred years ago with people who didn’t conform to the mainstream faith? (Sorry if I missed it, but I had more important things to do like watching a basketball game going on.) Imagine how effective they could be nowadays with the internet/instant communications and global travel and nukes! No one expects The Inquisition! ---
