Dennis Prager, come on down!

I quote:

"America is engaged in two wars for the survival of its civilization. The war over same-sex marriage and the war against Islamic totalitarianism are actually two fronts in the same war -- a war for the preservation of the unique American creation known as Judeo-Christian civilization."

Did you get that, folks? America created Judeo-Christian civilization. Okayyyyyyyyyyy, sparky! The nice young men in the clean white coats will be along presently.

Just mailed to him:

You recently wrote "unique American creation known as Judeo-Christian civilization" ... Really? America invented it? Not, oh say, England? Rome? Not one of those places of course not.

Your entire column is filled with nothing but shameful fear and accusations that make no logical sense.

"With same-sex marriage, our society declares by law that mothers are unnecessary, since two men are equally ideal as mothers and as the creators of a family; and that fathers are unnecessary, since two women are equally ideal as parents and as the creators of a family."

No. It declares that humans can love as they see fit. It declares that maybe, just maybe, "traditional" doesn't default to "right". But you can't see past your hate and your fear.

At least, though, get your facts straight.

It's kinda like looking at the last of the dinosaurs roaring out it's defiance to the wall of dust and fire approaching it...

And yeah, he is an idiot. The problem is, they all think like that to some extent. That America is the center and sum total of the Universe, and if somewhere isn't part of American culture then it should be.

Denny's an American...

This reminds me of part of a video featuring David Bowie and Trent Reznor (some parts skipped for brevity):

I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid of Americans
...
Johnny wants a brain
Johnny wants to suck on a Coke
Johnny wants a woman
Johnny wants to think of a joke
Johnny's an American
I'm afraid of Americans
...
Johnny's an American
Johnny's an American
I'm afraid of Americans
God is an American
God is an American
Yeah, I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the words
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid of Americans
Johnny's an American...
Johnny's an American ...
Johnny's an American

...Someone get this guy his own cross. At least there's the possibility he'll use it (and maybe even qualify for a Darwin Award!)
