Dennis Prager nonsensically defending NSA on his radio show

[Enrique]

He is taking calls from people who are concerned about the program, and reassuring them that they shouldn't be concerned.

If you have listened to his program for any length of time, it obviously contradicts everything he has said about freedom and limited government. This is a guy that sees a ban on plastic bags at grocery stores as a slippery slope to Hitler.

Like all the neocons, Prager must defend this authoritarian program. Authoritarianism is a fundamental part of the neocon ideology, remember most of them loved Mubarak and decried Obama's "betrayal" of him. And even more than authoritarianism, or part of it really, is secrecy. They put their faith in the elites, the mass of people should be left out of the important matters. And so they really really hate people like Snowden.

Anyway, any thinking person listening to Prager right now must be mightily confused. They're hearing him tell them to trust their government and he's not giving any reason why they should, other than fear.

4. the difference between them

the neocons love the spying, they don't care about Obama.

The Duer's you're talking about don't care about the policy, they just are defending Obama.

5. Glenn Beck has heaped praise upon Snowden.

What if I link Glenn Beck to progressive supporters of Snowden. Is that fair?

Well that's the same logic you're using.

6. Not really.

The principled Progressives hated domestic spying under Bush and they hate it under Obama.

Beck was OK with domestic spying under Bush and he's as unprincipled as the "progressives" who support it under Obama.

program.
