Prager H1: Dennis honors Reverend Martin Luther King by reading excerpts from his famous “Letter from a Birmingham Jail, one the most profound documents of American history.

Prager H2: Reverend Martin Luther King is now universally referred to as Dr. Martin Luther King. This is part of the Left’s desire to remove the importance of religion from the civil rights struggle. The Administration has released a report endorsing women in combat. This is foolishness in the extreme. Does anybody really believe a combat unit would be enhanced by the presence of women?

Prager H3: Yes, Martin Luther King Jr. had his personal flaws. Yes, he had ideas that conservatives strongly disagree with. But on balance there can be no question that he made a major, vital contribution to this country. His “moral” bank account was very full. Dennis talks Rabbi Shmuley Boteach about his new book Honoring the Child Spirit: Inspiration and Learning from Our Children. They also talk about Shmuley’s defense of Sarah Palin’s use of the term “blood libel” in the Wall Street Journal.

Dennis reviews his speech to the Republican Congressional delegation. He told them that they are the guardians of the American value system. Dennis talks to David Dreier, Congressman from the 26th District of California and new chairman of the House Rules Committee about the event last night. Jesse Jackson tells Ed Schultz that the USA is the “most violent country on earth.”. Is Pakistan sliding toward an Islamist government?

Study after study has confirmed common sense – watching excessive TV makes you unhappy. It amuses you in the short term, but depresses you in the long term. Be wary of spending too much time engaging in “passive fun.”

Dennis opens the hour with Robert Davi. The singer/actor has become known for his work with the Frank Sinatra songbook. Then, callers take over. Issues raised include: does Dennis still consider himself a passionate centrist; what is the real definition of a parent; who has killed more — religions or governments?

Bill Maher, like most on the Left, has no trouble assigning blame to the Right for the Tucson murders even as he admits there’s no “direct” connection and that the murderer is a “a nut.”. Dennis talks to Burton Folsom, professor of history at Hillsdale College in Michigan and senior historian at the Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington, New York. His latest book is New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR’s Economic Legacy Has Damaged America.
