Remember Dennis Prager?

The guy who did not think any language except English had words for "earn" and "make money"?
Well, his latest article shows again that he is writing only for the most ignorant and provincial American conservatives - the kind of person whom a decent writer of any persuasion would want, not to flatter, but to educate. Just read the first couple of sentences: http://www.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=34775. And then reflect that his thesis is that "socialism" destroys intellectual vitality. What a fine piece of evidence, eh? Thank God that I for one know enough American conservatives not to be wholly convinced that conservatism destroys intellectual vitality, curiosity, and any ability to think constructively.

I'm on the other side of that debate, but I have as little patience for the wobbling as you do. Steele seems like a man trying to serve not two but two hundred masters. In fact, he reminds me rather (if I may lower the level of discourse) of the Simpsons' episode where Kang and Kodos run for president:
Kang: Abortions for all.
[crowd boos]
Very well, no abortions for anyone.
[crowd boos]
Hmm... Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.
[crowd cheers]

But then, that's pretty much any American politician . . .
