Prager H1: President Obama tells a small group of donors that the electorate is motivated by fear and frustration. Yes, Mr. President, fear of you and frustration that you promised to rule as Centrist, not as a Leftist. Maureen Dowd vents her ire at Republican women. But she doesn’t back up any of her mean-spirited charges with facts.
Prager H2: The most underrated of our Presidents, Calvin Coolidge, made a clear statement in 1924 about why small government, not big government is the American way . Dennis talks to Tim Scott, a Republican candidate for Congress in South Carolina. He happens to be black. The President of Germany, Angela Merkel, declares multiculturalism to be an “utter failure.”
Prager H3: The Left has dominated public education, the university and the mainstream media for decades. Why hasn’t conservatism been wiped out? The Left can’t figure it out and its driving them nuts. Dennis talks to Ken Buck, candidate for Senate, Colorado. Dennis also talks to Colonel Mike Prendergast, running for Congress in the 11th district of Florida, the Tampa Bay area.
Prager H2: The nature of life is to wander in the proverbial wilderness. That “wilderness” can take many forms – career, spiritual, relationships. Sometimes we find a way out; sometimes we don’t. Even Moses didn’t make it to the Promised Land. But how we come to terms with this idea is a key to living a happier life.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: are people on the Left brainwashed; does Dennis prefer New York City or Los Angeles: is it harder to raise children now than it was 20 years ago; is peace possible in the Middle East; should a couple take government money so that the mother can stay home to raise their child.
Prager H1: Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walk out on their own show when Bill O’Reilly has the temerity to assert that Muslims perpetrated the 9/11 terror attack. Dennis talks Ruth McClung, a real life rocket scientist who decided to enter politics and run for Congress in the 7th district of Arizona against one of the most liberals members in the House. In a 55% Hispanic district, she’s now pulled ahead. Dennis explains why he is now proud to be Republican. France is in the grip of national strikes over “pension reform,” moving the retirement age from 60 to 62. Can Sarkozy pull a Thatcher?
Prager H1: Joy Behar accuses Congressman Michele Bachmann of being anti-children because she opposes legislation that provides health care for poor children. Never mind that Bachmann has five children and has foster-parented 23 others. She opposes a policy that Behar supports, therefore she’s anti-children. This is how the Left argues. Dennis talks to Joe Miller, Republican candidate for Senate in Alaska. He’s in a tough race with sour grapes, write-in candidate, Lisa Murkowski.
Prager H2: Should a man who has had a sex change operation and is now a woman be allowed to compete in LPGA events?… The President rails against Republicans accusing them of being against everything good. So much for being the Great Uniter. You expect him to be a cheerleader for his team, but has a president ever been as a partisan as this one?
Prager H3: Dennis talks to George Gilder, senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and one of Dennis’s favorite thinkers. His important new book is The Israel Test. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast August 13, 2009.
