Inspired by the recent video referenced by ‘Robert S’, I did some research to see what other interesting Prager videos are online. Here’s a trio of them which will serve as examples of the kind of nonsensical arguments you’ll hear made in 2012 by Democrat Cult Members aka Obamabots:
On the environment
On racism
On terror apologists
Finally, for those who have never seen it, here’s the most inspiring Dennis Prager video of all:
Prager rocks, there’s no doubt about it.
The U of D speech nailed it.
I think the caller on the environment showed some really unhinged ignorance. But Prager did not do a very thorough job in refuting his silly arguments.
There’s a simple answer to those who claim that weather and climate have nothing to do with each other. It’s like saying hours have nothing to do with days, or days with weeks, or months with years.
Climate is simple the daily weather averaged over a longer period of time. One year, ten years, fifty years, one hundred years. Whatever time interval you want to look at.
There up to more evil libels. From Sarah Palin to Joe the plumber. Now Sanitorium yet again.
The spit dribbling down their tongues to the floor never stops with the left. Its lies only outshone by its audacity of rage.
Monster Media Machine Libels Karen Santorum on “Secret Abortion”
Jezebel is claiming that Karen Santorum had a secret abortion back in 1996. This is apparently the latest attack from the left and their source is Our Silver Ribbon, which makes the accusation without attributing any sources. All the other blogs merely link back to Our Silver Ribbon as proof.

Prager is brilliant, of course, BUT …
I dunno, maybe I’m souring but Abraham Lincoln created an unnecessary civil war which killed 600,000; last best hope? oh pleeeze; military liberated auschwitz: secondary event — the US didn’t give a shit about the holocaust; US exceptionalism – gawd this is sounding as corny as country music.
Here’s somethig from a smarter guy:
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always to be followed by dictatorship.
The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. Those nations always progress through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith,
from spiritual faith to great courage,
from great courage to liberty,
from liberty to abundance,
from abundance to selfishness,
from selfishness to complacency,
from complacency to dependency,
from dependency back into bondage.”
–Alexander Fraser Tytler

Great series of speeches.
Particulary at the end re: Iran and the UN Kommittee, (cough) on “Status of Women”,(cough)..
“Finally, for those who have never seen it, here’s the most inspiring Dennis Prager video of all:”
I agree, it was great, but I think many of us have realized for a few years now that America is at a crossroads.
Dennis Prager is an observant Jew, and Sarah Palin and Hugh Hewitt, the other two on the panel, are observant Christians. All honour the Judeo-Christian foundation of the USA, indeed, of the West. Although this idea wasn’t articulated in this video clip, all three believe that the fact that the West has turned its back on its religious heritage has EVERYTHING to do with the sorry pass at which we find ourselves.
Bravo, Dennis, Sarah, and Hugh! And Kyrie eleison re where our Godless, Judeo-Christian society is headed.
EBD @ the most recent Reader Tips:
“Taking off the rose-tinted glasses and looking realistically at the hard truth: Noisyroom’s “Turning Our Backs on the Gods of the Copybook Headings”.
“Highly recommended.” An excerpt:
“This country was founded on Christian principles. I’m sorry if some don’t like that fact, but there it is.
“That hasn’t stopped Liberals from trying to erase and rewrite history. They are all for removing all traces of Christianity from schools and public places. But they insist that Islam should be given free rein. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick to death of this crap. When we had prayer in school and the pledge of allegiance, we had less violence and we had more American spirit. Now that the Progressives have mostly succeeded in taking God out of the schools and replacing Him with Marx, we have violence galore. Gangs and drugs, hate and evil walk the halls of our learning institutions. All this has gained us is the loss of our children and the embrace of evil agendas.
“The White House and our Commander in Chief routinely leave out phrases referring to God, unless of course they are referring to Allah. Americans aren’t blind – they see the blatant favoritism being given Islam and how Christians are being put in their place. Christians are the majority in this country and I think most of us have just about had enough of Obama’s faux Christianity. Freedom of religion means freedom for all religions. Christians don’t blow things up, but they seem to be on Obama’s terrorist list while giving those that kill in the name of Allah a free pass, labeling their transgressions as work-related incidents. Don’t fool yourself into thinking he is trying to be fair or does not realize what he is doing… Obama knows exactly what he is doing. Read the Arabic on the wall. . . .”
And Canada’s not doing much better.
Interestingly Prager holds mainstream Liberal Democratic ideologies, a Kennedy Liberal if you will. He displays the kind of common sense, populist democratic instincts and free trade free market capitalism that was wide spread in the Liberals who populated the Democratic Party before it was infiltrated by Straussian leftists and cultural Marxists in the late 50s and 60s. The Dem party and liberal institutions were totally destroyed in the 70s by 3rd gen Frankfurt school activists infiltrating every liberal NGO and institution from ACLU to Green peace.
If Prager is a classic American Liberal, who in hell is he arguing with? Who or what is disguising itself as a liberal these days? These are CM (cultural Marxist) indoctrinates conditioned in statist collectivism (Soviet Socialism) thinking by the CM establishment in media, public Ed., campus and in infiltrated liberal think tanks.
We grass roots conservatives (the current practitioners of classic liberalism and fiscal conservatism) need to confront these people like Prager does, at every opportunity. We also need to stop calling them liberals or progressives – they are statist socialists or cultural Marxists authoritarians – these are radicalized conditioned neo feudalists, they all espouse political ideologies which call for an end to civil freedom, private property, economic independence and national sovereignty.
Occam writes, “. . . they all espouse political ideologies which call for an end to civil freedom, private property, economic independence and national sovereignty”. And don’t forget, an end to (Judeo-) Christianity too. That’s a cornerstone of their ideology.
And the fact that most of our society has agreed to buy into an end to our religious heritage has everything to do with our undoing: our lack of conviction, truth, and courage. Eyes wide shut, we’re very much the authors of our own downfall.
I had never heard of Dennis Prager before posts of him here on SDA, but I will be looking out for him from now on.
Thanks Robert, I enjoy listening to Dennis Prager speak on these topics of the day.
THE COLD WAR IS OVER AND OUR SIDE WON? or did it?
Purging our bureaucracy, academia, and media (even the churches)of these statist socialists or cultural Marxists will be like getting burrs off a sheep dog….
I am coming to the realization that this process, of neccessity will more like the Romanian experience rather than a velvet revolution…
The statist socialists or cultural Marxists are inherently violent and will not go quietly into the night…note the already blatant moves by Holder and the demoncRATs toward stealing yet another election.
No, I disagree. The biggest threat is apathy.
You can’t defeat apathy without hope, so, in a way Obama was right.
But, throwing money at international “problems” ain’t gonna work either.
Occam: Because of the confusion in terminology between “liberals” and “Leftists” I’ve drifted away from using the former in favour of the latter in the past year. I fully realize that many Liberal Party and Democrat Party supporters don’t like the term “Leftist” but I find whenever I provide them examples of what their further Left comrades do & say, they refuse to condemn them. So if the Cult term fits then they should wear it!
Another ignorant, chauvinistic American. One could spend all night picking apart his comments, but let’s leave it at just this one: Yeah, it wasn’t the peace activists who liberated Auschwitz…it was the Soviet military. WTF does that have to do with America?
I’m sure Prager knows full well that the Soviets liberated Auschwitz, Iberia, he being a man of Jewish descent and much study.
And Prager never claimed the American military liberated Auschwitz. He referred to military people, the inference being America needs to maintain the ability to fight and project force.
You haven’t picked apart anything; you’ve constructed a straw man.

“Yeah, it wasn’t the peace activists who liberated Auschwitz…it was the Soviet military. WTF does that have to do with America?”
The soviets also forcably relocated 60% of the population of the nations they “liberated” from their rival Fascist regimes, to work as slave labor in societ factories, mines and farms. I know because this happened to the parents of the neighbour kids I grew up with. What does that say about Leftists who white wash this fact?
According to iberia then, WWII was fought so the world would accept the Brave New World of a Marxist order, where our superiors would perfect humanity through a series of social engineering (notice that adjective social to define an otherwise repectable word) laws.
And if you didn’t agree, it would be just fine to shoot you … since you could not pass re-education and were obviously a neanderthal counter-revolutionary.
Are you with iberia, or against it?
Or something like that.
This is what Gran Torino is about and it makes the point that in general the values of Asian-Americans kids are as close to that of “The Greatest Generation” – and the founders – then anyone other group.

60%?!? Not likely.
@set you free at January 10, 2012 3:13 PM
Ummm, no…you are off on a tangent.
Dennis Prager is arguably the country’s most important commentator on our moral foundation and the survival of right. A great speaker, I doubt there’s a single progressive anywhere who could stand up to him in debate. He’d destroy idiots like “Iberia” above without batting an eye.
“…we have not passed on what it means to be an American to this generation.”
That idea crossed my mind a few weeks ago and I recalled something I learned from my high school civics teacher. Again, last night, I happened to catch an Ayn Rand story (watching to avoid the SEC bash fest on ESPN) where she was asked what it meant to be an American.
My concept as learned, and Ms. Rand’s reply… Agency.
Yes, shorter Prager: “We are the master race!”
Yes, shorter Prager: “We are the master race!”
Anyone who sees how ugly the typical lefty is (check out OWS) will come to that conclusion even if they are not white.
No one wants to associate with lefto-faggots.
Hey what about Canada! Most of us whether American or Canadian think very similar about what Dennis Prager says, its just that he’s not ashamed and very forth right to bold enough to shout it out as is, truth telling.
“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”
– George Orwell
Yes it true that the U.S and Canada was formed out of Christian/ Judeo moral law, (fundamental teachings) which now we only have a formality of it, as Mr, Prager says. “It’s not Mr. Obama”. I think it is much about our leaders, I’m not necessary pro-Conservative or of Mr.Harper, but he is truly leading this country? The Conservatives on foreign affairs has taken several stands. Did lead on walking out on Ahmadinejad at the UN, The Palestinian Statehood UNECO, climate change. On Human Rights in China and Arab/ Muslim Countries it’s Canada as we’ve been outspoken on the really issuses. And what has the American, Democratic or Republican leaders have said? I could be corrected, but American leaders are losing there moral ground faster than Canada. People can vote is there power in Democracies, but the politicians make the laws whether evil or for good. But there are many really good informed comments here, thanx SDA
I’m certain the failure to pass on the true spirit and values of America will coincide nicely with the advancement of liberal Democratic ideologies.
And let’s not forget that the slogan of the French Revolution soon was modified to “Liberte, Fraternite, Egalite au Mort”.
“Or death.” It always leads to death.
