Drew Westen is a professor of psychology at Emory University and the author of “The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation.”

Like most Americans, at this point, I have no idea what Barack Obama — and by extension the party he leads — believes on virtually any issue.

Sorry, but you'll have to read the other 26 paragraphs at the link, since they are uncomfortable truths. Previous replies are here:

OH NOES! Not double secret, cross my heart, hope to die, spit in my hand, probation...:panic: :panic:...what is the world coming to?

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Meh, they'll all still queue up to vote for him, like cattle at a slaughterhouse.  You can learn your way out of ignorance, but you can't fix stupid.
