Perhaps. I never thought of Dennis Prager as a phony. He is genuine, if somewhat pompous. But then so is Rush, and he's the best. It takes an enormous ego to be successful in broadcasting. A shrinking violet would never make it. I can't help but think that such an ego would be incompatible with a successful marriage, unless the partner was a total wimp.
I like Prager. He is always very thoughtful about the issues. I don't agree with all his views, the permanence of marriage being one of them, which make the pious phony comment not only mean, but wrong. Dennis was never a "marriage is forever" believer-same with Rush.
I have found that the folks who would take glee at the personal stumbling of conservative such as Dennis and Rush and Bennett do not like the conservative messages they broadcast, so try to use their humanity as proof of some sort of hypocrisy.
Our Constitution is based on the biblical worldview - ie: Fallen man is not basically good (even though he is capable of doing good from time to time).
We can hope for the best from each other, but plan for, and expect the worst (Caveat emptor).
Those who think that people are "basically good" and therefore human nature is capable of being "perfected" in the here and now, are all PC leftist utopian kooks who will try to use big government to make it happen if and when they are able to obtain power.
Click my screen name and scroll down to "The Emory Report" and read why our Patent Laws were set up the way they were.
I tend to think the opposite would be true -- that only a person with a strong, healthy ego him/herself could be comfortable in a relationship with another strong ego. Weak, insecure egos are generally behind relationship problems. Those with confident egos can brush quite a lot off like so much water off a duck. I'd rather be married to a guy with a big, strong ego any day.
