Prager H2: Dennis returns to an issue he dealt with almost exactly one year ago. The conventional wisdom is that a parent is only as happy as his or her unhappiest child. Is this true? If it is, how should a parent deal with it?
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: can a therapist do more harm than good; what does Dennis mean when he says that the Left believes that people are basically good; should you let kids interrupt adults.
Prager H2: The Shirley Sherrod video controversy – the black woman accused of being bigoted toward a white farmer – has made everybody involved in it look bad, including the White House. It also reveals, ironically, the liberal obsession with race. Dennis builds on the theme he started to develop last hour: why do liberals despise conservatives.
Callers weigh in with their theories.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Nick Bunker, formerly a reporter with the Financial Times. His new book is Making Haste from Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims and Their World: A New History. What is the difference between an illegal immigrant and a gatecrasher?
Prager H1: Yet another smoking gun demonstrating the leftwing tilt of the mainstream media has emerged – a cabal of 400 journalists who openly worked to help Barack Obama get elected.. Dennis talks to John Podhoretz, columnist for the New York Post and editor of Commentary Magazine, about this issue. Dennis develops the theme: why do liberals hate conservatives?
Prager H1: The goal of the Greeks, French and other Europeans is to retire at fifty. Dennis poses the question to his listeners. Do they want to retire? If so when? And if they have retired, are they happy they did?
Prager H2: Is there a point at which the age difference between couples is too great? 10 years, 15 years, 20 years or more? Traditionally this would only go in one direction, but now it may apply to older women marrying much younger men.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Tara Ross, the author of Enlightened Democracy: The Case for the Electoral College, on the stealth attempt to destroy the electoral college. Harvard is doing away with final exams, a sad example of falling standards. Alan Grayson, Florida Democrat, accuses Republicans of wanting to starve children.
Prager H1: Dennis talks to Carly Fiorina, the Republican candidate for Senator of California. George Will points out that if Carly Fiorina doesn’t beat Barbara Boxer, then the state has truly fallen into the deep blue sea. Dennis also talks to Robert Samuelson, columnist for Newsweek and Washington Post, about the future of ObamaCare. Samuelson sees the future in Massachusetts, already a health care failure.
