Prager H3: Tweets, posts, and flying pigs: celebrities weigh in on the crisis in the Middle East. Why do Hollywood personalities not feel that their work is important enough? Is the misinformed political commentary really necessary? Plus: an interview with Ed Klein, author of Blood Feud. As in his acclaimed book, Klein delivers inside information on the Obamas and their relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Prager H2: What is worse than evil? The failure to recognize it. This appears to be the case with Secretary of State John Kerry. According to left-wing Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Kerry’s ceasefire agreement wrongly treats Hamas as an entity that is morally equivalent to Israel. Also, why should the U.S. be so involved in foreign affairs? Would the U.S. negotiate with Boko Haram if Nigeria were at war with them? Plus, is appreciating freedom the same as being a proud American?
Prager H1: Younger Americans don’t seem to understand what it means to be American. They vote for people, but not their ideas. They accept criticism as fact, and are not equipped to defend their country. This is especially true among young women and non-whites. A caller describes his experience of non-existent American culture in school.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: Why should smokers be allowed near people who do not smoke; Noticed you saying BECAUSE instead of CAUSE; sharing blind spot techniques for driving safely; the criterion trinity for choosing a wife; How do you feel about receiving Cuban cigars?
Prager H2: There is no area in life in which one can be completely satisfied. Absence of complete satisfaction is a part of the human condition. That doesn’t mean that one should not strive for satisfaction, because striving will lead to innovation. Ideally, people will learn to be satisfied sans complete satisfaction. Understanding that complete satisfaction is unattainable will be liberating and lead to happiness.
Prager H1: The West has been spoiled by peace and prosperity, and now they are naïve about human nature. Evil is normal, not peace. The media, including CNN, is misrepresenting the Israel/Gaza conflict by omitting crucial information. CNN’s Erin Burnett would not admit that she or CNN were wrong when confronted by Ron Dermer, Israeli Ambassador to the United States. Joseph Wood was executed by lethal injection in Arizona… To be against capital punishment is immoral.
