I'm sorry Burlem, you misunderstand me. I am ALL FOR advocating high moral standards---even though NONE of us can live up to them.

What I was referring to are those twisted folks that take delight in seeing strong advocates fail.

Ah, I miswrote my post. Let me try again:




Well, it always rubs some people the wrong way whenever they encounter a person who advocates for strong moral standards. And for such people, it often brings a sense of smug satisfaction when the advocate fails to live up to his own standard.

Nevermind that only one person in history has ever done so.

If his wife has done something that he cannot in good conscience live with, fine. But if tall, distinguished-looking Prager has found a younger, hotter honey, then my respect for him goes down to zero.

That's good; Burlem, it would seem, did not. My bad.

And what would lead you to jump to such a suggestion so quickly?

This guy's always been a pious phony.

I would say pompous.

He is saying that conservatives are WRONG when they say that divorce is always harmful to children.

How dare he? Just because he finds himself divorcing. I divorced, and my then-two-year-old son has had to live with a deficit ever since. I had no choice: my ex threatened harm to my child.

I fear that Dennis is divorcing so he can have a better sex life. I hope I am wrong.

Divorce is always a deficit for all children. It on occasion is better than the alternative, but it's never a good thing. Children crave an intact home where the parents have the children as top priority and create a loving peaceful haven EVEN IF THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE IT. Dennis has other priorities. Once you sleep on those cushy Dux beds, I guess you want everything in your own life to feel good.

I think this is his second divorce though. What's up with that?

Some women aren't able to live with a pompous phony, I guess.

He has always been a little focused on the male sex drive, porn, etc. I hope I am wrong.

It's seldom a true either-or situation. There is a wide range of possibilities besides the two you suggested.

For example, a man can reject a dreadful spouse and at the same time take up with a younger, fit goodlooking woman.

Some people have an almost pathological bias against goodlooking women. Don't hate them 'cause they are beautiful. It's entirely possible for a man to find a very attractive romantic companion that is a woman of substance. I know - I have one in my life right now.

The fact that a man takes up with an attractive woman, in itself, is no reason to cause your respect for him to plummet to zero.

Yaelle, with all due respect to your situation, you seem to be proving Dennis' point. You did the right thing by divorcing your ex-husband. The deficit you speak of was not brought about by the divorce, but by the evil perpetrated by your husband beforehand.

Dennis has consistently said that divorce is a tragedy, but not necessarily a catastrophe.

Nothing. I just never liked the guy. The first time I heard him he was being rude to a big fan who disagreed about something and he struck me as a hypocrite.

I will say this - he's trying to minimize the harm divorce does to kids. That's D-E-N-I-A-L.

Are you a member of the GLBT brigade? That's the only thing that might work as motivation for an unfounded accusation.

First you ask what his reasons are, then you announce that he can't possibly have any reasons except that he must be an offended homosexual. Nice.

He said: "This guy's always been a pious phony."

This indicates that before this divorce he thought that.

I asked why he thought he is a "pious phony"? It can't be because of this announcement because this fellow claimed Prager has always been a pious phony.

Dennis has spoken of divorce many times over the years and has always had clarity on the subject, in my opinion. I haven't heard todays brodcast and I am sorry at this bad news, but I don't think Dennis is a phony at all.
