That was my initial thought. What was the genesis of the thread, and just as pertinent, WHY is this styled a "liberal" issue.
I can't find an answer to the first question. Often times googling reveals the RW nutcase topic de jour in the usual suspects websites. But I found nothing recent. So, giving the OP the benefit of the doubt, I think the genesis AND the "liberal" spin are sort of libertarian notions that the govt should not have the power to tax in order to prevent, or ease, hunger.
The reason you found nothing is because I don't get my info from right wing blogs, or right wing talking heads. I read, I listen, I learn. You must have at least seen the talking heads faking concern over the problem of "Food Insecurity" somewhere on the Internet right?
Did you read my OP at all? The point is that it's no longer enough for the left to tell us that hunger is our problem, now it has to include people who are insecure about their food supply and/or their next meal. And it doesn't even have to be a rational insecurity.
I guarantee you that the words "Food Insecurity" come our of obama's mouth soon.
I said I gave you, and your initial post, the benefit of the doubt in terms of sincerity. However, sincerity doesn't preclude you from being a loon. I thought perhaps a libertarian who simply ignored the reality of private charities being incapable of addressing the situation of, for example, hungry kids at school.
But, perhaps that was giving you too much credit. You continue to push "liberal" and "left," when in fact the AMA, DOD, the USDA have all considered "food insecurity" prior to Obama ever entering office. The issue not political.
Food insecurity is not the same as hunger. And if you are trying to tell me that this isn't a left wing idea, I'll tell you that you have rocks in your head.
