The Church of Scotland's Scandal

For a guy that responds to every charge of bigotry with an inane, foolish and incredibly unfunny joke about "SIXHERB", Prager sure is quick to make charges of antisemitism. I know nothing about the Church of Scotland, and I did not read "the Inheritance of Abraham", but from what I see, if there is a legitimate charge of antisemitism, it is extremely subtle. Meanwhile Prager responds to overt racism in his own country by foolishly yelling "SIXHERB". His wife is neglecting her duty to let him know when he's being a jacksass, because he keeps doing it.
Yeah me too, Townhall seems to be cracking down on dissent. This column did get the attention of Wonkette and some other liberal sites, they're having a lot of fun with it. Much to Dennis's dismay. We know his strong stance against people making fun of him. :-)
Remember when Jim Bunning was filibustering the unemployment extension? Prager threw his support behind bunning, and lashed out at the people that wanted the extension. He wailed on the radio, "there is no PUNISHMENT in our society anymore!!!!!" He used the word punishment. He wanted to cut off people's benefits to punish them for being out of work. Like you said, it was a window into their thinking. One word for it: mean.
You're right, ideology is not the answer. My response was a parody of Dennis Prager style thinking. In fact, school meal programs are based on pragmatic, common sense concerns, not ideology.
Liberal approach to hungry children: give them food. Dennis Prager's approach: send government workers to the children's homes to investigate their parents. Liberal approach makes more sense to me, and is certainly cheaper.
yes, I caught the racial undertones here, as much as Prager angrily denies any such possibility.
Is Katie Pavlich affiliated with the NRA?

if there are two species, the decent and the indecent, then Prager's guest today, Michael Ledeen, is among the indecent. One of the true monsters of our political class. Fortunately he has recently been relegated to relatively obscure forums.

what do those things have to do with anything? Clinton and Kerry are politicians, their job sometimes requires foolishness. Just look at what Kerry just said about the elections in Venezuela. Prager won't talk about it because he needs to keep up the foolish image of Obama being "a man of the left". He went on and on about Honduras and never mentioned that Obama sided with him on that.

Bill Maher's commentary on any religion, as well as religion itself, amounts to simple prejudice. I watched his whole documentary on religion. He travelled around, talked to a bunch of people, did some research, and concluded "I don't like religion". That's fine, but to me it wasn't useful. I am athiest myself, and I don't like religion any more than Maher does, but I don't want to be preoccupied by whether I like ti or not. Prejudices are a dead end. It's funny about Bill Maher, people on both sides like him when he panders to THEIR prejudices, and hate him when he panders to the prejudices they DON'T share. In this case, when Maher's prejudice cuts against Islam, Prager cites him as evidence to back up his own worldview.
