Prager H1: The Super Committee has collapsed. Who is to blame?… Chris Matthews wonders what Obama’s plan is for his second term. No one seems to know except that he wants to stay in office… Mark discusses winter life in W. Virginia and what it means to hunt for food.
Prager H3: NY Times’ Tom Friedman needs a study to tell him that parents matter in a child’s education… NY waiters are busted in a credit card scam. They stole from wealthy customers… Dennis talks to Rabbi Joseph Telushkin about the new Prager University video course, “When Telling the Truth Is Wrong.”… Syria is headed toward civil war. Getting rid of the dictator of that country, Bashir Assad, is something to be wished for… In MA boys swim and break records on the girls’ team… Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, calls wind turbines ugly and useless. Right Oh!
Prager H2: Arizona has taken a stand against high school Latino/Chicano Studies classes which teach students to hate America. Callers, many from Arizona, weigh in.
Prager H1: The Super Committee can’t agree on anything. It’s hardly surprising: the Left and the Right have totally different goals. The only way to resolve this stalemate is for one side to win decisively at the ballot box… The First Lady was booed at a NASCAR race this weekend. This is wrong and makes Conservatives look bad. We have to live by a different standard than the Left… Egyptians has been rioting for three days. Wherever this goes, it won’t be good…
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: should divorce be allowed and easy; can you eat half a dozen donuts and lose weight; should a business be allowed to discriminate; is our political system broken.
Prager H2: We tend to think that if only X or -X, I’d be happy. This is true in many areas of life.
Prager H1: Noted liberal columnist, Michael Kinsley, mocks Christians in general and Roman Catholics specifically. Atheists have contempt for Believers. But why?… Environmentalists are ecstatic about the President decision to delay (kill) the Keystone Pipeline from Canada to Texas. They stuck it to the oil companies. There’s no bigger thrill than that.
Prager H3: The President says he’s all about jobs. Then why is he stalling on the biggest jobs project in the country, a project that is shovel ready – the Keystone pipeline from Canada to Texas?… Environmentalists care more about Mother Earth than they do about mothers… A hideous monster is executed in Florida after 22 years on Death Row… A “desperate dad” robs a store to “feed his kids.” Really? Or this is a rationalization or to put it another way, “bull****.”
Prager H2: Yesterday Dennis expressed disapproval at President Obama for calling the Prime Minister of Australia, Julia. An e-mailer reminded Dennis that GW called the Prime Minister of the UK, Tony. It was wrong when GW did it. It’s wrong when President Obama does it… Are the OWS crowd and the Tea Party comparable?
