Prager's Perspective

While all men are created equal, as the American Declaration of Independence put it, based upon the biblical, Judeo-Christian origins of the American Revolution, it is not possible to achieve equality without violence.

Hamas boasting to their fellow Palestinians about what they did to Jews while the Nazis tried to hide what they did from fellow Germans means there is not only a moral difference between Hamas and the Nazis

In the case of the Trump trial, the Left has done something never done before in American history: put on trial a former president and the opposition political party candidate for president.

Universities have been morally and intellectually damaging for more than 50 years. How many young people return home after four years at college (let alone additional years in graduate school) a finer, kinder, more moral or intellectually more developed person? Let’s just say it’s rare. I have never met one.

Most civil rights organizations are also essentially left-wing groups. They use alleged concern for black people to attain and retain power, but they harm blacks considerably more than they help them.

Had I had any suspicion that this was a clinic that engaged in affirmative action, I would have wondered about this anesthesiologist: Was she chosen, at least in part, because she was black?

Had Mr. Schumer told the truth, he would have said this: Israel’s being a pariah among the world’s nations tells us much more about the world’s nations than about Israel. Just as it did a mere two generations ago.

Instead of good and evil, we now have a set of other moral categories: rich and poor, white and black, colonizers and colonized, strong and weak, oppressors and oppressed.

Meanwhile, the NFL continues to paint "anti-racist" slogans in end zones and play the "black national anthem" before important games.

To make matters worse for many Jews’ psyches, not only has the institution they most revere turned out to be a moral wasteland and the most congenial place for enemies of the Jewish people – and of the United States (but that is another story) – at the same time, the people whom many Jews have most feared, conservative Christians, have turned out to be the Jews’ most loyal friends.

As American society and Americans individually become less religious, i.e., less Christian, the Jews become less significant.

Since World War II, most American Jews have believed that the more secular American society is, the more secure their status. This has been, as I have argued all of my life, a colossal error.

It is probably the easiest conflict in the world to explain. It may be the hardest to solve, but it is the easiest to explain. "In a nutshell, it's this: One side wants the other side dead."

Either Moral Confusion or Hatred of Israel

The second reason is most liberals have chosen to believe that the Democratic Party is still the party of John F. Kennedy. They are fooling themselves

It is almost certain that the great majority of American high school and college students could not name five of the Ten Commandments (presuming they know what those are) or the names of two Shakespeare plays.

The last time I saw so few cars on a Los Angeles freeway was in the first weeks of the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Apparently, many people were just as spooked as they were in 2020.

Aside from food, the greatest human need is for meaning

That is how I feel. I know my chronological age, but nothing has changed in me that makes me believe it. So, then, while how I feel and my energy levels are a blessing, like many blessings, they come at a price: massive cognitive dissonance.

America has been the freest country in the world for all of its history. That is why the French gave America the Statue of Liberty. It is rapidly relinquishing that title.

I will not address the specious attacks on Charlie Kirk. I will only note that this alleged “hater” devoted his entire half-hour speech to explaining why he, though a Christian, observes the Sabbath each week from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday.

Though the Bible commands us to love our neighbor, love the stranger and love God, there is no commandment to love our parents. On the other hand, there is no commandment to honor anyone except our parents.

There is one argument made by opponents of American aid to Ukraine that holds no water – the argument that Ukraine is corrupt.

I Feel Better in Europe

This lie that whites bear animus toward blacks is destroying the American nation.

From the first time I asked this question to the present day, in nearly every instance, one-third of the students voted to save the stranger, one-third voted for their dog, and one-third declined to vote.

In other words, other countries imported 41 times the number of black slaves into the Western Hemisphere compared to the United States.

Conservatives have no issue with change or innovation – when warranted or harmless.

Beginning in the second half of the 20th century, people in nearly every white-collar profession ceased finding their work inherently meaningful. So, they sought to use their profession to change the world.

Given that many of us view this president as unprecedented in the extent of damage he has done and continues to do to this country, this guess would be understandable. But it would be wrong.
