Prager H2: It’s now seemingly de rigueur that parents tell their children “you can be anything you want to be.” But this is a recipe for future unhappiness. It’s just not true. The sooner we recognize our obvious limitations (we all have them), the better.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: why do so many Jews not support Israel; what is a husband supposed to do if his wife refuses him sex; should parents pay kids for grades.
Prager H1: The hope was that by electing a black president, blacks would finally get past their obsession that America is racist. But that hope has been dashed. The NAACP’s latest pronouncement that the Tea Party is riddled with racism is the latest proof. Callers, especially black callers, weigh in.
Prager H2: Donald Berwick, the man the President has appointed to run ObamaCare, is a socialist. It’s not a close call. He believes (and Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal has the quotes to prove it) that technocrats know better than you do how to manage your health care. Karl Rove writes a column based on a question Dennis posed to him during an interview earlier this week. Talk about luck or, specifically, bad luck, how about being born in N. Korea? Across the border freedom and opportunity; in your country, operations are performed without anesthesia. Dennis talks to Matt Ridley, science writer, about his new book, The Rational Optimist.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Thomas French, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist. His new book is Zoo Story: Life in the Garden of Captives. Dennis deals with callers on the philosophical issue of security and freedom using the zoo as an analogy.
Prager H1: Ever heard of phrase “consumer obligations?” Probably not. All we hear about is “consumer rights.” It’s practically considered a good deed to rip off businesses, big and small. This includes wasting the time of a salesman when you know you’re not going buy an item somewhere else. Callers provide specific examples.
Prager H2: Have you experienced love at first sight? And, if you did, how did it work out?
Prager H3: The NAACP doesn’t advance anyone. It should be renamed the NAACD – National Association for the Advancement of Colored Democrats. The Helena, Montana school system wants to teach Sex Ed to tots. When this liberal nonsense reaches Montana you know we’re in trouble. As one tunnels into the 2000 page morass known as the Financial Reform Bill, one finds pernicious absurdities like racial quotas. Banks who do any business with the federal government have to “look like America.”
Prager H1: Dennis plays clips from Dylan Ratigan of MSNBC, Michael Moore, and Oliver Stone, all making strident (and patently foolish) anti-American statements in the last couple of weeks.
