Well, I think that 'purging' is more closely affiliated with Stalin's communism than with Hitler's Nazism. At least, I don't think that "purging" is obviously more affiliated with fascism than with communism.
But that's an ancillary discussion.

"Knifing", wasn't there something somewhat recently about not using violent political rhetoric, since it's responsible for setting off crazy people or something? Anyway.
Starting a new organization has a lot of cost--overhead, brand loss, etc. That's why companies have rebranding efforts instead of declaring bankruptcy and starting a new company altogether.

I didn't make up that quote. Chuck said it here.
“The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.”
