31. the "point of consensus"
the cusp at which we presume that there exists some finite point at which agreement and cooperation might coexist. I propose that the POC is ever more elusive, that that point is so fine as to be more conceptual than real.

O'lielly is certainly strident in name calling, but not necessarily accurate in his use of language. Unless you accept the previous post's suggestion that this is a cirucular construct not linear, then o'lielllys fascist-liberal assertion is counterintuitive, or at least an oxymoran.
