Prager H2: Eric Hogue fills in for Dennis. A healthy discussion about the GZ Mosque and Koran burning continues. If not printing the Dutch cartoons was good because it avoided unnecessary trouble, then why isn’t it also good for the GZ Mosque to be relocated in order to avoid unnecessary trouble?
Prager H3: Eric Hogue fills in for Dennis. It’s clear to Eric: No to the GZ Mosque and No to burning the Koran, but many callers disagree; which begs the question, what does burning the Koran accomplish?
Prager H1: Why has the media given so much attention to the loony Rev in Florida who wants to have a Koran burning party? If they ignored him, he’d be a non-issue. But the media glare has made it a major story. A man defends his home and his family from a gang, thanks to his trusty AK-47. He gets arrested for his pains. Los Angeles names a high school after Al Gore. Global warming update: glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica are melting at half the predicted rate. Dennis talks to Phil Kerpen, VP of Policy for Americans for Prosperity about the Winning in November campaign as well as the danger of state-based cap and trade. The imam of the GZ mosque project is pushing ahead in a sweetly worded opinion piece in the NY Times. Never mind that most Americans and New Yorkers
Prager H2: Brain, Heart and Sex Drive: the three elements that make up a successful relationship. Dennis explains. Callers offer their theories and experiences.
Prager H3: Howard Dean says the Republican Party is the party of hatred. Dan Harris of Good Morning, America conflates the Koran burning reverend and Sarah Palin. The creator of the Daily Kos asserts that conservatives are anti-woman, anti-gay and anti-education among his litany of charges. Who are the haters again? Those on the Left or the Right?.. Dennis reflects on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year which begins tonight.
Prager H1: What drives this publicity hungry reverend in Florida who plans to publicly burn the Koran at his church? Yes, he can do it legally. But is it right? Of course not. Morality often trumps legality in judging what is right and what is wrong. President Obama spoke to a union audience in Milwaukee yesterday. He wants everyone to be guaranteed a job, healthcare and a college education. If these things are guaranteed by government, then why work hard to get them?
Prager H2: Time reached a new low last week with its cover, an ugly insult to Israel. The news magazine is contributing to the delegitimizing of this Democratic nation, a very dangerous trend. Dennis talks to Mitchell Bard, prolific author, and highly regarded expert on Mideast politics and Israel US relations. His new book is The Arab Lobby: The Invisible Alliance That Undermines America’s Interests in the Middle East. Dennis returns to the President’s Labor Day speech.
Prager H3: To be on the Left is to imagine a utopian future – no poverty, no greed, no racism, and so on. To be on the Right is to have the opposite view. Those on the Right imagine how much worse things can be. This is the fundamental difference between two views of the world.
Prager H1: Dennis poses this question to callers.
