Dear Gawd! They don't know when to stop!! Dennis Prager opens HIS Piehole now!

Dennis Prager: "That attitude that the only value is saving a life, that attitude leads to appeasement...No one can die? Then it's not a war"


WTMF?!?! This ISN'T a war....it's a pandemic. It has a rather simple mitigation against it: STAY THE F*** HOME! SIT ON YOUR DAMN COUCH AND PEOPLE LIVE!

Grandma and Grandpa don't need to suffer or die for your damned stock portfolio to recover in a month vs a year!

These #FakeChristian #FakeProLife assholes are beyond disgusting! Why can't these vermin get infected instead?!

Profits over People. That is their North Star and THAT should be what we label them with in every ad, in every speech, in every TV appearance...it should be hammered home like a mantra - The GOP, Profits over People, NOTHING else matters, least of all your lives...

You can do things to prevent the spread of it... which is what this strategy of staying home is.

They just say words that they know people will boo and hiss to: "Liberal", "socialism", "shariah", "Muslim", "refugee", "appeasement", "open borders", and so on. And Prager knows a segment of the population will eat it up. That's all that matters to him.

There's no science here, there's no expertise, there's no wisdom, there's just their buzzwords and people are now dying because of it.

Totally unbelievable....wonder what has stirred up this sudden talking point. This idea of "we need to open up the economy again in the next few weeks, and if some people die, so be it." It started up Monday and morphed into the theme of the week.

Find one of those mega-churches run by a multi-millionaire "pastor" and cram yourself in with the rest of his followers. Be sure to breathe deeply to get the full experience of the Lord entering your soul.

because these selfish greedy assholes want their stock market profits.

They don't want to admit that Trump's economy was artificially propped up like many qualified economists have warned and this virus just popped the bubble.

and when it's all over, the majority who survived will claim that's exactly what happened, even the ones who are tethered to O2 tanks as pulmonary cripples. If asked what Jebus had against the 3-4% of them who died, they'll just draw a blank and walk away.

We've seen it before when a tornado took out the local church.

He's a social conservative born into an Orthodox Jewish family..His bio says nothing about a conversion to, or identification with, Christianity.
