This week's entrant into the "What crack is this idiot smoking?" department..

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.
