RE: "actually, I would rather listen to a non angry conservative that is also passionate...like Dennis Prager. Rage and anger does not make a good substitute for rational strength...sorry."

I have expressed admiration for Savage for the very reason that you criticize him. I am absolutely convinced that it was his calling. (No pun intended.)

Why?

Because I survived the "Fairness Doctrine" horror -- the silenced majority era.

It may mean nothing to you but for me I am still livid about how Goldwater was treated, about how supporting the Tenth Amendment earned you screams of "Racist!" "Bigot!" About how the emerging modern conservative movement was trashed -- for example it was deliberately and falsely blamed by liberals for the assassination of JFK and others.

You think it's bad today with the MSM? -- try it without modern talk radio and the Internet -- you had to search among and behind all the publications in news stands to find conservative views. Yeah some cities had conservative newspapers but TV networks were fast becoming the sole source of news for most Americans and newspapers were disappearing. Though Time and U.S. News were pretty good back then.

The slightest disagreement with a liberal feeeeeeeeeeeeling resulted in screams of "Racist!" "Nazi!" "Hate monger!"

Conservatives for years (at least from the '60s into the '90s) would hang their head, slink away, looking back pleading "I'm not a racist. I'm not . . . ." Most often the conservative would yield -- it became a kind of dialectic trick that the Left used to get exactly what they wanted.

Savage changed that! He's giving it back! Savage proved that you could give it back to the bastards -- and win!

Though I did not know of Joe Pyne's syndicated radio show I do remember his short-lived TV show. He didn't take that liberal crap. He was kicked off the air as the liberal lying jerks like James "Scotty" Reston of the NY Times led the liars against modern consrvative's "hate and violence that killed is buddy JFK." While on the same f'ing page of the New York Times were articles about Oswald's connections to "Fair Play for Cuba," et al.

I got plenty more.. like whenever there was a Soviet Union "wars of liberation" conflict in a Africa or South America and I wanted to know which side was which I needed only to view a few seconds of TV network "news" to see which side got the favorable treatment.

.. and the letters of complaint I sent to the networks got back a "We're professionals and you are not" response.

There's lots more.

Prager is good but he reminds me of those "Fairness Doctrine" days especially when he sounds like Miss Manners.

O, I don’t know. Dennis dukes it out but he does not get angry at his liberal oponents. That’s because he has a deep understanding of their “religion” which has captured their minds. They really are very ill people! And yelling and getting angry at them is exactly what the darkness wants! That makes us reactionary rather than strong and happy conservatives. Sorry, but there is nothing that should take away our happiness. Nothing. Some say that Jesus was angry in the temple throwing out the money changers; but nowhere in the bible does it say so. It is through patience that great strength comes out. anger is a substitute and a poor one. If you want to really be free, try the “coping strategies” used by our military at fhu.com. It is helping to remake real Americans.

OMG. Just now, Prager demonstrated how he fearlessly steps out on a subject of which he has only a vague understanding.

It was in an aside addressing the NAACP attempting to get publicity over its inanely charging Hallmark with racism for using the word black hole.

Prager confused black holes with the definition of dark matter. It isn’t that hard a concept. But in an indirect way, by his confusing DARK matter with BLACK holes, Prager may have added fuel to the fire the race hustlers started.
