Prager H1: Over the weekend the usual suspects Paul Krugman, Frank Rich and alike, wrote columns attributing the murderous Arizona nut’s motives to the Right, Sarah Palin, and so on. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton said in the United Arab Emirates that: “we have the same kind of problems.” Dennis clarifies why we do not have the same kind of problems.
Prager H2: The discussion of blaming the Right for the assassination in Arizona continues. Callers weigh in.
Prager H3: Why is hate always ascribed to the Right? Dennis makes the point that hate is not only, not exclusive to the Right, but that it is far more prevalent on the Left.
Prager H1: High school students in Georgia with a B average get “free” money for college — a Hope Scholarship. They use it to buy themselves a new car. You know that big plastic island of garbage floating in the Pacific the size of Texas? The truth: it’s barely there. Nicholas Sarkozy, the French premier, says that Christians are being ethnically cleansed from Arab Middle East. Why isn’t this a bigger international news story?
Prager H2: Life is full of “have to’s.” You have to work to make a living, have to raise your children, have to take out of the garbage. Is this a challenge to happiness or a reason for it or both?
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda for this hour. Issues raised include: how does the Army treat the parents and families of soldiers killed in action; who brought the suit against the War Memorial Cross in San Diego; what should a wife do about her husband who is jealous of Dennis; what does Dennis think of chiropractors; how should a Christian wife handle her Jewish in-laws.
Prager H2: Dennis talks to the great Thomas Sowell, scholar in residence at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. His essential book Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy has now been issued in a 4th edition.
Prager H3: The assassination of a liberal politician in Pakistan is deeply disturbing. The murderer was not greeted with universal condemnation; on the contrary, the he’s been praised by Islamists, showered with rose petals on his way to court. The ACLU is trying to bring down another cross, this time in San Diego. The liberal 9th Circuit Court is always ready to lend a hand. What does a war memorial cross have to do with the government promoting one religion over another?
Prager H1: Dennis argues that religious adults should not be so rigid as to miss worthwhile R rated movies like “The King’s Speech.” He also makes the case that parents should expose their age appropriate children to important R rated films like “Schindler’s List.” Callers weigh in.
