On his radio show today, Dennis Prager said: What answer do conservatives get when they say the government spends too much? That Republicans spent too much too.
As if there is any conservative who’s going to differ with you. Why do you think there was a Tea Party? Because of disgust with Republicans. The Delaware Republicans decided it was better to forego a foregone seat in the Senate and elect a Tea Party person (Christine O’Donnell).
Many states (including California, Illinois, New York) are headed towards bankruptcy. How did we get here? Spending, in particular giving massive money they did not have to state employees.
About a quarter of the Muslim world support Al Qaeda. That’s about 300 million people. That’s who will publicly proclaim they are pro-Al Qaeda.
The news media says that this poll shows that most Muslims embrace a role for Islam in politics. No, most want Sharia to govern countries.
Dennis said that he inherited two tortoises when he married Sue (his third marriage). “One day, we saw that one of the tortoises was very lethargic. He had something hanging out from the back of him. My wife tried to nurse him and to medicate him. He was going to die. It turns out, his penis stuck out and wasn’t going back. It would’ve gangrened and he would’ve died. There was a veterinarian in Santa Monica who knew how to treat a gangrenous tortoise penis but it was a lot of money.”
