There is not just one way to be happy. There are many.
Prager H1: The New Jersey legislature approved same sex marriage in a close vote. Given what a significant social change it represents, Governor Christie wants the people of the state to get a chance to vote on it. But the Democrats won’t allow it.
Prager H3: When do teens spend time with adults? Is it more or less time than the past? If it’s less (as Dennis believes) what are the consequences?
Prager H2: Are there any new values? If there are, are they worth promoting?… Dennis talks to Daniel Henninger, columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Henninger writes that Obama’s budget neatly articulates the President’s vision of America.
Prager H1: Dennis talks to Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College. His new book is The Founders’ Key: The Divine and Natural Connection Between the Declaration and the Constitution and What We Risk by Losing It.
Prager H3: Israel is faced with a very tough choice. Iran wants to destroy it. The country’s leaders have made no bones about it. They are working feverishly to get a nuclear weapon to accomplish their goal. If you were the president of Israel, what would you do to stop them?… Libya’s representative to the UN expresses his hatred of gays, yet another expression of The Arab Spring… The Justice Department is blocking bone marrow donations.

Do we think we can keep doing it without any consequence? Apparently, the President and the Democrats do… The upcoming election is a choice between European values and American values. This is the essential argument that the Republican candidate must make… Islamists in the Maldives destroyed Buddhists statues in the Maldives National Museum just like the Taliban destroyed Buddhist statues in Afghanistan.
