Prager H2: It’s impossible to be happy at this moment: 26 dead in Connecticut, many of them children. Evil, tragedy and human suffering are just as much a part of life, tragically, as those things that make us happy.
Prager H1: The day begins with a shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut. Dennis ponders why we seem to be experiencing a rash of multiple homicides in the last few years – two this week… Nancy Pelosi bemoans the fact that Representatives might have to stay in Washington over Kwanza… The shooting in CT takes a shocking turn – 26 now reported murdered, 18 children.
Prager H3: Union members engaged in thuggish behavior in Michigan and the media yawns. A Michigan legislator cries “there will be blood” and the media yawns. Would they yawn over such provocations if they came from the Right?… Educators complain that Latino kids aren’t reading because they can’t relate to the white characters in their school books… American soldiers have been ordered not to refer to the Taliban as “the enemy.”
Prager H2: The Republicans are leaderless and without a clear message. The leader may emerge, but the message is very clear… Dennis talks to Elizabeth Nickson, investigative journalist, former reporter for Time Magazine. Her new book is Eco-Fascists: How Radical Conservationists Are Destroying Our Natural Heritage.
Prager H1: Dennis talks to cardio-vascular surgeon and regular Prager Show guest, Dr. Michael Richman.
Prager H3: If you’re not strong when faced with evil, then it’s hard to say you’re good. This applies to individuals as well as to nations… A University of Texas professor tells the BBC that to be raised by an impoverished single mother is far from the ideal. For this he has been excoriated as a racist… Google is parking money in Bermuda to avoid high U.S. corporate taxes. But the company contributes heavily to Leftist causes.
Prager H2: At a restaurant in the town of Stockton, CA a bartender referred to three overweight young women as “the fat girls.” The bartender should be fired. Businesses can’t afford to offend their customers. But Dennis wonders if we have become so sensitive to the subject of weight that we are doing a disservice to women who need to slim down to attract a man.
Prager H1: This combination of 12/12/12 won’t happen again until 01/01/01. That’s 2101. These tidbits fascinate the host… A would be mass murderer killed two people in Oregon yesterday. What was his motive?… Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of General Electric, praises Chinese communism… N Korea successfully launches a three stage rocket. The Left thinks that N Korea can be reasoned with. The Left is naïve about evil.
Prager H3: Is God happy with his creation? There’s a lot of evidence that he’s not. Human beings haven’t fulfilled their moral potential.
