I want to (seriously) applaud Prager for this column. Although I don't really agree with his thesis, he makes his case in a calm, non-angry manner without making any references to "the left". It's a start.................and he will absolutely be more apt to win converts to his side of the discussion when he is not insulting them at the same time. Kudos for this column.

Ms Kelly...........has happened to me also. Can you do us tech-novices a favor and tell us, step by step what process you use, involving Word to get around this problem? Thanks!

Syk..............you do indeed fight the good fight. Both you and Enrique are consistantly able to make very valid points in a calm and non-confrontational manner. By now it should be clear that Prager writes this garbage knowing full well that it's going to begin a rage filled shite storm. I consider it my "duty" if you will to prove Prager a liar when he insists on a VERY regular basis, that "the left" can't present an argument on any issue, they rely solely on emotion, resort to name calling and insults,etc. I make it a point to avoid doing that myself, while, at the same time, I observe how SO MANY of his fans resort to exactly what he claims conervatives seldom or never do....the emotional and angry outbursts coming from "the right" would certainly give pause to any honest person who was evaluating which "side" was angrier, more prone to childish name calling, etc.

Syk.................DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had just typed a VERY lengthy response praising your dead on post and it disappeared ( I'm pretty sure that the problem was on my end,not on TH's). I don't have the energy to re-do it so I'll just say WELL DONE!

Syk.......you're probably onto something. In Southern Cal, anyway (his home base) he is up against Limbaugh, so he apparently finds it necessary to really play up the devisive, "we're in a civil war" talk. I wonder if Limabugh himself even makes as many "the left" referances as Prager.......Prager can barely go 2 minutes without resorting to that.

gold...why, did someone call you a Prager/Jew hater? I actually wish he would talk LESS about his Jewish faith.

"The impression I got was that (he) was objecting to being chastened for not standing and giving his reasons. I did not take it as an attempt to persuade me or anyone else". FWIW, that was also my take on his position/intention.

Bill.................for God's sake, give it up. He doesn't claim that his "opponents...abuse alcohol". He claimed that this ONE guy was apparently drinking. Does it REALLY seem all that unusual that someone would be drinking beer at a ball game? And, have you ever spent any time around drunks? If so, do you have NO clue when you hear them speak/yell if they're half in the bag?. And, finally, for someone to get cheesed off enough to start yelling at someone else to stand up for a song...........would you at least grant that it's POSSIBLE that the first guy is loaded?

Anom...............Oh, I agree that, at this time it does not solely apply to pols...thus my "bastardization" comment. Also, I do appreciate the civil exchanges.................
