Purblind Prager

Dennis (The Jewish chickenhawk, who eats milk with chicken even as he makes a nice living telling people how he loves Jewish tradition.") Prager has published yet another installment of his never-ending series on why no one understands "Judeo-Chirstian Values" better than he does.

Like the first 24, Prager's latest is mostly a succession of incoherent rah-rah words. Here, for example, is why 2! 6! 8! American exceptionalism is really great:
What is American exceptionalism? The belief that America often knows better than the world what is right and wrong. [...] For the Right, especially the religious Right, however, whether China, Russia and France vote to authorize a war and make it legal is of no moral significance. Overthrowing the mass murderer/rapist/torturer Saddam Hussein was a moral good (irrespective of the presence or absence of WMD). If it violated international law, that only reflects on the moral inadequacy of international law, not on the wrongness of Americans giving up life and wealth to liberate Iraq.
In other words, Prager says you're a wicked, slut-mongering, reporobate if you believe other Americans should not be dying and paying for a mismanaged war that continues to kill people who aren't Saddam Hussein.
