Prager H2: If you are, then you have very little chance of happiness. You need to recognize your moods and control them. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on February 2, 2007.
Prager H1: Governor Brown signs a law that mandates contributions of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and the transgendered be taught to school children from kindergarten through high school… Radical feminism trumps justice on college campuses… Dennis talks to Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal about the European fate of America if we stay on our current spending path.
Prager H3: Dennis continues his analysis of the debt ceiling negotiations. The Republicans may take a hit in the polls if the ceiling isn’t raised, but holding firm on big budget cuts may throw off the President. Also, the Omaha Public Schools spent $130,000 from stimulus funds on “cultural diversity manuals”, which are intended to train teachers on how to treat kids based on their ethnicity and race. The Left calls the Right racist and then treats kids based on their race.
Prager H2: With the debt ceiling negotiations coming to a head, Dennis speaks with John Podhoretz, Editor of Commentary Magazine. The debt ceiling needs to be raised in order to preserve America’s credit rating, but a long-term deal looks increasingly unlikely. President Obama was honest when he campaigned on transforming America. One cost of transformation is this potentially calamitous debt crisis.
Prager H1: Dennis speaks with Howard Friedman, Professor of Psychology at UC Riverside and author of The Longevity Project: Surprising Discoveries for Health and Long Life. Callers weigh in with their opinions on how to live a long life. One common thread among people who live long? They are lucky, according to Dennis.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Arthur Brooks, President of the American Enterprise Institute, about the danger of the US becoming more and more like Europe. His excellent book, The Battle: How the Fight between Free Enterprise and Big Government Will Shape America’s Future, is now out in paperback… A Greek shipping executive explains why Greece is going the socialism drain: a hatred of capitalism… A polygamist in Utah is challenging the marriage law in that state. If we can redefine the definition of marriage, why not over number of spouses?
Prager H2: Why are men and women so reluctant to ask for why they need?
Prager H1: The President holds the best cards in the debt/deficit/taxes debate. He can say that Granny won’t get her social security check and everyone runs for cover. If he said that the Department of Education wouldn’t get its checks, no one would care…
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Sarah Sentilles, a Harvard Divinity School Ph.d and seminary student who lost her faith. Her new book is Breaking Up with God: A Love Story.
Prager H2: If you listen to Democrats, it’s hard to imagine that anyone votes for Republicans. Why would you vote for a party that only had the interest of “the rich” in mind? Maybe there’s more to it than that. Is that possible?
Prager H1: Dennis talks to David Dreier, Chairman of the House Rules Committee, about the debt/deficit/taxes crisis… Dennis talks to Gary Sinise, star of CSI: New York. He’s the focus of a new documentary on the work he has done to entertain servicemen all over the world.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Harvey A. Silverglate, co-founder and Chairman of FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) and a regular columnist for The Boston Phoenix, about how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior. His book is Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent.
