Huh. I'm a Liberal Centrist, not a Leftist:

Yeah, I just assumed they were one and the same after having spent so many years listening to Rush and others (admittedly it's been over 15 years since I listened regularly). So, I appreciate this different take on the terms and have basically gone down the rabbit hole with it. It's been pretty interesting to read and watch the wide variety of takes on both terms, but at the end of the day I'll just go with Prager's take on it since it's nice and tidy.

I like Dennis Prager's redefinition approach. That is why conservatism is best defined as a jelly donut with a high concentration of Salmonella bacteria.

Filled donuts are an accurate choice. They look good but turn out to be disappointing (not that anyone's going to be excited about salmonella).

"If There Is No God, Murder Isn't Wrong" - PragerUniversity, which is not really a University.

Can any avid listener of PU explain this reasoning?
Ceeboo? How about you, my Prager Superfan? Got any insights?

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=47861I hadn't opened this new thread because I had thought it was on an older video that had been gone over before. When I finally did and watched the video I was surprised to see it said it was new. I could have sworn we'd already heard what Prager had to tell us about this.
How funny.

That quote alone is enough to never consume anything PragerUninformed again.
damned religion. Giving people an excuse to act idiotically since 6000 BC.

Let's give Some Schmo a round of applause! Some Schmo everybody, where his sense of humor lies somewhere between Lewis Black and a cinder block.
