The opening as it read in 2005
Dennis Mark Prager (born August 2 , 1948 ) is a syndicated radio host, columnist and public speaker in the United States . Though he sometimes describes himself as "passionate centrist " or a " JFK liberal", Prager is a consistent advocate for conservative causes and the Republican party; he is also routinely critical of leftist ideology and the Democratic party leadership. He formally changed his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican in 1988, though has not voted for a Democrat in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Prager often presents his political positions in moral terms. Prager argues that monotheistic religion is essential to civil society, and that most modern domestic and international crises stem from the absence of religious values in American life. A cursory reading of his work reveals that Prager finds fault with many Muslim values, and deems Muslim society and culture as generally unethical. He does not consider Islam among the virtuous traditions. Although Prager is Jewish , he strongly supports the American Christian community and promotes Judeo-Christian values as "the finest set of values to guide the lives of both individuals and societies." In his articles, broadcasts, and speeches, Prager accuses liberals of promoting a culture of "moral idiocy". He charges the "liberal institutions" in America (he includes the ACLU , evolutionists , universities, student protestors, trial lawyers, activist judges, and the editors of the New York Times ) with causing a breakdown in American society and effecting a lamentable status quo which he dubs "the Age of Stupidity". He believes that Western Europe and Canada suffer from "a broken moral compass" and that leftist policies in those countries have changed their societies into "moral wastelands". He posits that foreign liberal policies are exerting a negative influence on the United States . Prager claims that the US is engaged in what he describes as "our second civil war "; a battle between religious and secular values.1
