The dam has been broken, author and nationally syndicated radio host Dennis Prager warns. Maybe it was necessary. But when dams break, flooding follows.
In a Tuesday piece for American Greatness, Why the Remedy May Be Worse Than the Disease, Prager issues a dire warning for a country reeling from a self-imposed shutdown.
In the scramble to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Americans must be vigilant against the kind of cure some may prescribe.
Prager issues a prediction: If the government can order society to cease functioning, from restaurants and other businesses to schools, due to a possible health disaster, it is highly likely that a Democratic president and Congress will similarly declare emergency and assert authoritarian rule in order to prevent what they consider the even greater existential threat to human life posed by global warming.
Could America close to protect itself from global warming? Could shutdowns and shelter-in-place orders be imposed for say, higher CO2 levels, ozone alert days or farting cows?

Just shut up Prager, you are not helping anything.
theres a little more evidence for COVID than for climate change.....
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Hypothetically speaking, politically correct global warming might actually be the remedy for real Coronavirus.
New study says 'high temperature and high relative humidity significantly reduce' spread of COVID-19"
Slow spread of Coronavirus in Thailand offers hope warmer weather might bring relief
Insights welcome.
MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
Really? I thought the Reverend Algore has declared that "the science is settled" on Glo-bull warming or whatever they call it nowadays. And St. Greta the Good has already warned us old folks that we have ruined her life due to climate change. That kind of evidence from two super-experts like them are far more conclusive than anything the CDC says about Kung Flu.

And Mr. Prager offers some serious food for thought, regardless of what some of the other FReeper "Keepers of odd Knowledge" might think of the man.
Put the joint down and take a nap. Maybe youll wake up in your right mind.
Anyone seen any data from the southern hemisphere? We keep getting info of WORLD WIDE!!!!!. South Africa? Aussies? Brazil? Equatorial countries?
This one smokes well too - Today we are able to as never before be able to simultaneously turn off the contact network while still maintaining the social network (who knows/interacts - but not necessary physically).
While these two networks are composed of the same populations how they are connected is not the same.
This corna virus doesn't stand a chance in a two week scenario where the contact network is drastically altered.
I believe there a bit of a stealth network too but even that would be drastically altered at the end of this 2 weeks.
And by that time we will have testing stood up and that will greatly prune the steath network.
Where is my lighter?
“What a stupid article - oh yeah - I see its by that pompous slob Dennis. I was hoping he is using this time to clean his filthy house, but no hes coming up with wonderful premises authored above.”
WTF are you talking about? Do you even know who Dennis Prager is?
Yes he used to live in hidden hills just down the street - do you know him too?
Not can. Will
Listening to him on radio he seems like a reasonable guy. What do you have against Prager?
Its a fair question, you ask I don't know he obviously a smart guy. He isn't totally rude. He tries to be fair. Perhaps its just the LA thing. He was going Never Trump but he was one of the few who caught himself. In fairness its because people like me were calling and yelling at him. I think its the whole smartest guy in the room phenomena that bugs me. Oh thats right I remember he's a phony
President Trump response to corna and this "quarantine" isn't going to set a precedent for the green new deal. If anything its going to prove to the American people we still got it and if need be we dance across hot coals with the best of them - but no we aren't making this permanent.
Crap like this is click bait - stupid click bait and to what end? So that while we get all our spring cleaning done early oh wait we've got to worry AOC is going to use this as precedent and off we Freepers go to the re-education camps, if we are lucky. It is fear mongering passing itself off as introspective analysis. This is run of the mill pearl clucking concern trolling.
When you fear monger in this environment by writing click bait articles - well you're just a whore - but I repeat myself.
So in summation Dennis Prager is a click bait whore who is writing stupid fear mongering articles, while passing himself off as an intellectual, rabbinical scholar - further he is a dirty slob and should use this time to clean up his act rather than be a whore and lecture to us how by saving today and tomorrow we've paved the way for lefty nutjobs to rule over us using these powers next week.
In short don't like phony whores - I don't have any experience with real prostitutes but I'm willing to challenge my experiences
Clickbait. You keep using that word but its obvious you dont know what it means or at the very least are stretching its meaning to a ridiculous degree. I re-read the article and your objections are clearly not valid. While you might not agree with Prager’s conclusions he makes a reasonable case both about the harshness of the response to the pandemic AND the use of similar measures by the RAT party in the future. That, in addition to a variety of derogatory references to his being a “dirty slob”, “phony whore”, etc. leads me to conclude that you have a pretty serious case of PDS (Prager Derangement Syndrome). Just something you might want to think about.
Have some milktoast while you are at it
I’ll always remember Prager for what he did to Bob Grant ....
