re: #6 Slumbering Behemoth

This is one of the problems with politics. Your comment illustrates it perfectly. Instead of trying to minimize rhetorical flourishes and find common ground, it’s about winning the argument, and “spanking” the opponent. I expect more from both Charles and Prager, and they deliver it regularly. I’m disappointed in many of the straw-man arguments that Prager used. He’s normally very clear (radio gives him more time to elaborate.) This is why it’s so important for the two of them to hash it out on the air, or through a series of online debate formats, posting back and forth. Like Charles said, Prager is someone worthy of respect. This back and forth is far to superficial for any good to come from it, and this is how the limitations of articles lends itself to bad writing and easy miscommunication and misunderstandings.
