this is from the AP and appears in several news sources besides Fox. it gives an interesting "heads up" on what kind of smears to expect in the next few weeks.

Among the claims:
_ A 6-3 liberal majority Supreme Court that results in rulings like one making gay marriage the law of the land and another forcing the Boy Scouts to "hire homosexual scoutmasters and allow them to sleep in tents with young boys." (In the imagined scenario, The Boy Scouts choose to disband rather than obey).
_ A series of domestic and international disasters based on Obama's "reluctance to send troops overseas." That includes terrorist attacks on U.S. soil that kill hundreds, Russia occupying the Baltic states and Eastern European countries including Poland and the Czech Republic, and al-Qaida overwhelming Iraq.
_ Nationalized health care with long lines for surgery and no access to hospitals for people over 80.
The goal was to "articulate the big picture," said Carrie Gordon Earll, senior director of public policy for Focus on the Family Action. "If it is a doomsday picture, then it's a realistic picture," she said.

Sounds like you are 'pat and comfy' with the poster's generalization in post 4671.26 where you said
Because that point to ponder is not one I have yet seen proven wrong when it comes to those who trumpet what everyone *else's* values ought to be.
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

You are a Reality-Based Intellectualist, also known as the liberal elite. You are a proud member of what’s known as the reality-based community, where science, reason, and non-Jesus-based thought reign supreme.

That, my friend, is an excellent point.
Actually, I wonder if we will see a third party spring up from the centrists, in general.
