Prager H2: The “rich” (those who make more than $250K) have too much money. That’s the standard liberal position. That’s why the “rich” have to pay more taxes. But do you really want to raise taxes in the middle of a recession? Even a few Democrats are having a tough time with this… Caller weigh in with their own intrusive government stories.
Prager H3: EJ Dionne of the Washington Post, normally a moderate liberal, jumps on “the Republican Party is saturated with racism” bandwagon. But who really believes this? The charge has lost its sting… What is wrong with profit? And when did America become a place where making a profit was resented?
Prager H1: The country has never been more
divided. Republicans think, even dream differently than Democrats. .. Dennis talks to Curtis Sliwa, talk show host on Dennis’s home station in NYC. Sliwa bemoans lessons not learned by Blue State New York. Virginia Senator, James Webb, writes that diversity programs have been counterproductive. Of course, in doing so, he sounds like a Republican. Even some Democrats are getting nervous about upcoming massive tax hikes.
Prager H2: Dennis returns to an issue he dealt with almost exactly one year ago. The conventional wisdom is that a parent is only as happy as his or her unhappiest child. Is this true? If it is, how should a parent deal with it?
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: can a therapist do more harm than good; what does Dennis mean when he says that the Left believes that people are basically good; should you let kids interrupt adults.
Prager H1: Yet another smoking gun demonstrating the leftwing tilt of the mainstream media has emerged – a cabal of 400 journalists who openly worked to help Barack Obama get elected.. Dennis talks to John Podhoretz, columnist for the New York Post and editor of Commentary Magazine, about this issue. Dennis develops the theme: why do liberals hate conservatives?
Prager H2: The Shirley Sherrod video controversy – the black woman accused of being bigoted toward a white farmer – has made everybody involved in it look bad, including the White House. It also reveals, ironically, the liberal obsession with race. Dennis builds on the theme he started to develop last hour: why do liberals despise conservatives.
Callers weigh in with their theories.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Nick Bunker, formerly a reporter with the Financial Times. His new book is Making Haste from Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and Their World: A New History. What is the difference between an illegal immigrant and a gatecrasher?
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Tara Ross, the author of Enlightened Democracy: The Case for the Electoral College, on the stealth attempt to destroy the electoral college. Harvard is doing away with final exams, a sad example of falling standards. Alan Grayson, Florida Democrat, accuses Republicans of wanting to starve children.
Prager H1: The goal of the Greeks, French and other Europeans is to retire at fifty. Dennis poses the question to his listeners. Do they want to retire? If so when? And if they have retired, are they happy they did?
Prager H2: Is there a point at which the age difference between couples is too great? 10 years, 15 years, 20 years or more? Traditionally this would only go in one direction, but now it may apply to older women marrying much younger men.
Prager H1: Dennis talks to Carly Fiorina, the Republican candidate for Senator of California. George Will points out that if Carly Fiorina doesn’t beat Barbara Boxer, then the state has truly fallen into the deep blue sea. Dennis also talks to Robert Samuelson, columnist for Newsweek and Washington Post, about the future of ObamaCare. Samuelson sees the future in Massachusetts, already a health care failure.
