- Radio Host/Philosophy/Politics/Society/Morality: Dennis Prager: (Recommeded by my dear friend Alex) I just started listening to the Dennis Prager Show- and all I can say is that I love his show, his views and opinions, and the topics he covers. It is my new source of moral, political, historical, and cultural enrichment. You can listen to him streaming or by downloading 190+ podcasts from Townhall. I highly recommend! And after him I will start listening to Michael Medved. Here are some highlights of Prager's views (taken from Wiki) - all of which I completely agree with.
- "Prager often presents his political views in moral terms. He advocates what he sees as the uniquely American combination of "Judeo-Christian values." He places great emphasis on "moral clarity," that is, the ability to identify and combat evil."
- "Prager has declared that the U.S. is engaged in a "second civil war," a "culture war" over the fundamental moral values on which American society was built."
- "Prager claims that many influential American institutions (universities, trial lawyers, labor unions, the ACLU, civil rights groups, and most large newspapers and television networks) are dominated by secular leftists."
- "Prager is a proponent of his version of "American exceptionalism," the view that the moral superiority of American values sometimes justifies unilateral action on the world stage, and that the U.S. should not always be constrained by international law or the United Nations in pursuit of its goals."
- "Prager has difficulty believing in the Christian, or even Jewish concept of Hell, namely that only those who are Christians, or Jews will enter heaven, and all others (Muslims, Buddhists, etc.) will be eternally damned."
