<\/a>Dennis Prager has done America a huge favor. He’s finally just come right out and said what the hardcore righties actually believe<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Equality, which is the primary value of the left, is a European value, not an American value. Let me tell you that right now. I know this sounds offensive to half of my fellow Americans, because they have been Europeanized in their values. The French Revolution is not the American Revolution. The French Revolution said Liberty, Fraternity, Equality. The American Revolution said Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. We have lost touch with what our distinctive American values are. We have distinctive American values. \u2026 We have a better value system, and this is being protected by one of the two parties: the Republican party.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"prager.JPG\"<\/a>Yeah, where would we liberals get the stupid idea<\/a> that there’s some self-evident truth that all people are created equal? Or the dumb concept that all are equal under the law<\/a>? Probably from the French. Stupid French, what with their libert\u00e9, \u00e9galit\u00e9, fraternit\u00e9<\/em> crap.<\/p>\n

All snark aside…I mean, Sweet Zombie Jesus, does Prager actually listen to himself? That people are created equal, and endowed with inalienable rights — that’s the fundamental principle on which our nation was founded. To declare that Americans don’t believe in equality is like saying that Christians don’t believe in Jesus — it’s flatly and self-evidently false.<\/p>\n

Of course, Prager doesn’t<\/em> believe in equality. He thinks that some people are more deserving of civil rights than others. He was vocal in saying Rep. Keith Ellison, DFL-Minn., shouldn’t be allowed to be sworn in on a Qur’an<\/a>, despite the Constitution’s clear and unambiguous language that there are no religious tests for office in this country. And he’s equated the threat of same-sex marriage<\/a> with the threat of Islamic terrorism. Prager doesn’t think that some are deserving of equality under the law. And it’s clear in the bile he excretes.<\/p>\n

Dennis Prager, as I’ve said before, is truly anti-American. He doesn’t believe in the ideals of our nation. He doesn’t believe in life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness — or at least, he doesn’t believe everyone should have the right to those things. Since I do believe in the ideals this country is founded on, I’m not going to suggest that Prager be silenced. No, in America, rights accrue equally to all, even those who reject that very notion. And the First Amendment applies to Prager no less than to me. Besides, I wouldn’t want Prager silenced, because in his venom he shows the exact kind of country he believes in, one where he and Napoleon the Pig would get along swimmingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
