Prager H3: The monster who perpetrated the Newtown massacre may have had mental illness issues, but that doesn’t explain why he murdered his mother, twenty innocent children and six other adults.
Prager H2: Dennis talks to John Lott, former chief economist for United States Sentencing Commission. His book More Guns, Less Crime (3rd edition 2010) is a landmark book in the field of crime statistics… A caller tells the chilling story of her violent son…
Prager H1: For the past few days, the Left and the Media have been obsessed with passing more gun laws. Very few, if any, in the media are talking about values. Do we fear good people with guns?
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: the mass murder in Connecticut.
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.
