Take note here Yurt... notice how Davey Hubbins was quick to respond with a list of names? This is what you get into when you attempt to reason with, and debate a liberal. All you need to do, is stupidly open the door to the debate, and it's on... they will pull out all the stops to mislead, lie, distort, obfuscate... whatever it takes. What you need to learn is, you can't debate these people honestly, they won't play that way.

I was once very much like you, I know you find that hard to believe, but it's true. I didn't consider myself a republican or democrat, I was neither conservative or liberal, I could generally see both sides of an argument and my viewpoint was very much 'moderate' or in the middle on most things. But here's the problem, when arguing with left-wing ideologues from a 'moderate' stance, you can never gain ground, you can only lose ground, and they will take as much as humanly possible and then some. What you are left with is a completely left-wing solution, which you didn't originally agree with, but were cajoled into 'negotiating' because you began from a 'moderate' position. "Increasing taxes on the wealthy" is a good example.. the second you lend credibility to this stupidity by agreeing that... well, yeah, maybe it's a good idea to raise the tax rates on "the wealthy" then you've ceded the point to the liberals! You've accepted their premise that people who earn a large income, are "wealthy" and we are somehow entitled to more of their money than the average person. Once you've made that concession, you have lost the battle and the war.

The BEST option, I have found, is to categorically REJECT everything a lefty has to say. Don't be tempted to engage their idiocy with rational thinking, it doesn't work with a liberal. The moment you entertain their stupidity, the second you admit they have made some kind of point, you have lost the entire argument, and you won't get it back again, regardless of how much reason and logic you apply.

What you just described of yourself Dixie, is a closed mind. There is a bar to all knowledge, that bar is a closed mind. Your post explains a lot about the idiotic things you say. Thank you.

In a sense, you are correct. You see, I have determined I can be closed-minded when it comes to liberalism, because I fundamentally don't agree with it. So it's all good. Where Yurt fails, is in thinking he has to engage liberals in argument by entertaining their points, next thing he knows, he is being played for a patsy, because liberals aren't interested in a real debate.

here is a more accurate portrayal of the situation:

Lawmakers, Schools Worry About School Meal Costs

WASHINGTON (AP) Eating healthy food isn't always cheap, and some conservatives in Congress are concerned that the Obama administration's effort to make school lunches more nutritious is a luxury the nation can't afford.

Many schools, especially the poorest ones, agree. They say new rules issued by the Agriculture Department in January will require them to buy pricier foods and more equipment at a time when federal and state budgets are tight and food costs are rising.

The new menus will cost an additional 14 cents a meal, according to the Agriculture Department. A spending bill approved Tuesday in the House Appropriations Committee estimates that the new lunch rules could cost schools an additional $7 billion over five years. Saying that "unrealistic demands" can lead to burdensome costs, the Republican bill directs USDA to rewrite the rules so they wouldn't force schools to spend additional money.

"I think what is unanswered is where will the resources come from," says Lucy Gettman of the National School Boards Association, which has said the bill puts too many unfunded mandates on schools.
