Prager H1: Nancy Pelosi decries the fate of children and seniors in expressing her horror at the proposed Republican budget cuts for 2011. Thus it was, is and ever will be. With the Paul Ryan deficit reduction plan on the table, the parties have taken sides: the Republicans are serious about reducing the deficit. And what about the Democrats? Are they serious?
Prager H1: Joe Klein of Time Magazine and Roger Cohen of the NY Times can’t distinguish between a Koran-burning nutball like Pastor Jones and the murderers in Afghanistan who slaughter innocent people . Dennis talks to David Dreier, Congressman from 26th district of California and chairman of the House Rules Committee about the pending government shut down.
Prager H2: There are apparently many reasons why some Muslims slaughter people – not just Koran burning.

Prager H1: Hillary Clinton called the dictator of Syria, the murderous physician, Bashar Assad, a “reformer.” We have a very confused foreign policy. We have become a nation of takers, more and more Americans dependent on government for jobs. Can a middle-class family afford to go to a major league baseball game?
Prager H2: The Titanic sank because all the water-tight compartments were damaged and filled with water. If one or two had not been breached, the ship would have stayed afloat.
