Prager University: Introduction

[gruntball]

An university is about thinking critically --not about repeating mantra you've learned in 5 minutes. We don't need a "sound bite" or "Google" world, we need people who study, think, criticize, challenge. This takes a lot of time. Imagine telling this Prager creep, "Hey, the U.S. should stop supporting Israeli terrorism in the Palestine." I imagine you'd get kick out of Prager U pretty damned quickly. Probably wouldn't get your money back either.

[TheCoachmom]

@gruntball You might get kicked out, because you are mouthing what others say. There is no critcal thinking in what you say here. There is no Israeli terrorism in Israel. One of Israel's first prime ministers - Golda Meir - said that we can forgive all the murders our enemies have perpetrated against us. What we can never forgive is them turning us into murderers to keep ourselves alive. Have you ever heard anyone say in fear- walking down a dark alley - "Watch out! Here come some Jews!!"?

[gruntball]

@TheCoachmom I would have to ask the Palestinians if they are afraid of Jews in dark alleys. I really suspect they are. Since the first intifada Isreali terrorism has killed about 3 Palestinians for every Israeli killed by Palestinian terrorism. If we include the terrible Israeli crimes in Lebanon, Israeli terror wins hands down in the region. People (outside of the U.S.) understand this. With pigs like Prager and his ilk polluting the airwaves, American ignorance is no surprise.

[MaryJo1950]

@TheCoachmom Actually some of those radical far right ultra orthodox people can be frightening. There have been cases in some neighborhoods of them going after tourists they thought were dressed inappropriately, attacking gays, etc. Yigal Amir, the man who assassinated Prime Minister Rabin, I would consider that an act of terror. Baruch Goldstein and others like him are terrorists. Those radicals who praise Goldstein as a hero are no better than those who praise radicals of another type.

[MaryJo1950]

@gruntball Exactly. What Prager offers is simple black and white thinking. A lot of simplistic feel good stuff similar to what one would tell a 5 year old to make them feel better.

Mr. Hitchens is absolutely correct to inpugn & reject the statements and persons of certain institutional leaders in Christianity to the extent that they have made offensive, baseless & intolerant anti-semetic statements. Christian texts are clear that God loves everyone (the world) & that the first christian church was comprised of Jewish converts & diciples. I carry no brief for Hitchins, but the Apostle Paul said be careful of UR conversation brothers.

I have been a Prager acolyte for about four years. When I first started listening to him, I found myself jumping up and saying, Oh mygosh, thats obvious! Two minutes ago that wasnt obvious, now it is. His ability to make things clear is masterful. You may not agree with him, but you will know exactly why you disagree with him.

[pinkfleur1]

Through your 5 minute dvds viewers will not only gain knowledge but be wiser!

[Mikecroc]

As always, Dennis Prager is brilliant.

[elgcpa]

I recently saw Perez Hilton debate Prager on gay marriage. Let's just say the debate was not even close. Prager 1, Hilton 0

By Moses' beard, I demand sauce!0o

[elgcpa]

WTF?

[TBAWazzock]

He wants the source of your comment i.e. proof that he did actually wipe the floor with him. It was a feeble attempt at humour.

[elgcpa]

Thanks. I don't speak whatever language that was.

[TBAWazzock]

Then maybe you should learn to speak English then.

[elgcpa]

By Moses' beard, I demand sauce!

I've never heard this saying in my life. I've checked around the last few days, and could find no one that ever had.

By the way, perhaps you should learn to construct a sentence.

[Saetta]

I have attended two of Dennis Prager's personal appearance lectures. One was the finest lecture that I have ever attended. I did complete nine years of university studies and this lecture that I attended was above all my previous lecture experiences. I download his weekly podcasts and share them with my friends and students. His ultimate goal is clarity and not concurrence.

[cetlahi]

This will simply be a beautiful thing!

[wskspartapraha]

Yes, we are on the edge of the abyss, but not all is lost. The Tea Parties were the first inklings of change in the right direction! Our side has never protested in an organized fashion, but times they are a changin'

[eodoc]

Dennis Prager is the most logical thinker in the media today, I thank God for him but fear the battle is already lost and socialism is unstoppable once half the population no longer pays taxes (which we are very close to). I hope I am wrong and that more people like Dennis will speak out and lead us to recapture American values.

DP is a soldier for truth! Slicing the fog, the cloud, to reveal the the blue sky; light, hope and clarity.

My Clarity, she is beautiful.

(I'm itching to write a song for her.,.. :)

[thinandcrispy]

Dennis,

The production value is superb. Please keep the graphics and contemporary feel. It will keep the younger generation entertained while "secretly" teaching your and my values. Thanks for all you do. It is very important to America as well as the rest of the world. Hope to meet you someday.

[TBAWazzock]

You fail because 'younger generation's are not amused by a few poor special effects. And we seriously dont want to listen to some old guy prattling on about how great America is.

[medbob1]

Content is not about glitz. That's why respect for elders is not reflected in the phrase "old guy". You must be very young, because you have no curiosity nor any wisdom. That comes with age. It comes with understanding that a lot of folks lie to you. It's about understanding that the most important things are really quite simple. It's about knowing that many who are supposedly "learned" are simply lost in the trees. Watch this guy and gain wisdom.

[SmartMuffin]

Thankfully, his intent is not to "amuse" you.

[weabop]

I hope that Prager University makes a HUGE impact on the many who have lost touch with the essence of American values.

[TheJediCharles]

How does one begin attendance of a 5 minute per semester university?

With a 25 second orientation, of course! :)

[tubbytalisman]

Dennis Prager is a godsend. This calm intelligent attempt to counteract 25 years of anti-American propaganda from the Left-dominated sectors of education and media is nothing short of heroic. Share him with everyone you know!!

[jackntheVox]

-"give us 5-minutes, we'll give you a semester". Pure genius!

[kennrayy]

Dennis, as others who have listened to you for years on the radio know... you are the pragmatic, no nonsense voice of reason and my personal mental maestro for deeper learning. I can't wait until my son is old enough to comprehend these powerful and straight forward lessons. Hopefully the nasty left won't find out about this for awhile, so we can enjoy more thoroughly.

[akronrambler]

Thank you for sharing! You are so great at explaining American values. I look forward to more from Prager University.

[YGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYG10]

Love that premise.

[Itcanbedone1]

Dennis,

Looking forward to it. Your clairty is unparalleled!!

[GideonsTrump]

Such moral clarity is long-overdue.

These brief video lessons will disarm weapons of mass deception on university campuses,who have traned their guns in opposition to all that is good and decent in America.

Watch and heed!

[devinelines]

If it's anything like the radio show, it will certainly be more valuable and educational than a semester at college.

[ahitchins]

Here's to a long and much-viewed future on YouTube--cheers!

[Oblivatron]

Thank you Dennis, this video tells it succinctly and to the point. The United States is in danger of losing its cherished freedoms.
