If it's nonsense, then perhaps you can point out which parts were with facts you can dig up

I say we don't let them Headline of the Day "Republicans are working out the terms of their surrender" -- ABC News analysis by Jonathan Karl. Shutdown Backfires on Republicans First Read: "Here are maybe the most worrisome numbers for the GOP in our poll: After the shutdown, the health-care law has become MORE popular, and a majority believes the government should be doing MORE. Per the poll, 38% see the health-care law as a good idea, versus 43% who see it as a bad idea -- up from 31% good idea, 44% bad idea last month... And by a 52%-to-44% margin, respondents believe the government should do more to solve problems. Back in June, the public was split, 48% to 48%, on whether the government should do more or less." Said GOP pollster Bill McInturff: "That is an ideological boomerang. As the debate has been going on, if there is a break, there is a break against the Republican position."

not refer a person to some psychobabble. I'm not taking a side in your debate here, just noting that again you are misusing the word psychobabble. You might want to say what he linked to is nonsense. If so you should say that. Babble isn't the same as nonsense (although there is overlap), babble is inarticulate or non understandable words or sounds. A nonsensical argument that is made from understandable words, isn't babble. Babble itself is different than psychobabble. Pyschobabble is using psychological terminology (and perhaps words that sound like psychological terminology), to create an illusion of plausibility. You keep talking about how important learning is, and you support the idea that people should keep learning, but after this is pointed out to you again and again and again, you can't seem to learn it.
