Thanks Dennis for sharing. More proof that about 10% of the population make the other 90% into confused/disillusioned people eh? As in a previous comment on another thread. Leni Rifenstahl is smiling up from hell at the direction this country is headed.

Sounds too good to be true, but maybe I am just in a mood.

The really cool part of the story is just after the end of your excerpt:
"The evening is sold out," I told him, "But I can certainly get you in. And if you come, I will introduce you to 1,200 people, and I promise you a standing ovation!" He thought about it, and finally agreed to come, was given a front-row seat, and, just as I predicted, when I told the audience about him, the spotlight was shone on him, and virtually all 1,200 people rose and gave him a standing ovation.
In fact, they gave him two.
Prager is a great man.

He sounds like a GOPe Republican.

Since he was working as an entrepreneur, i.e., Uber driver, the chance that he had conservative values was greater than a random person Dennis P might meet on the street.

This article clearly outlines my disdain of Prager.
Being an Uber myself I recognized the tone and patronizing in the text.
“I’m friendly to everyone”
“I’m going on a date”
“What do you do? “
“I go on dates”
He’s so condescending. Most Uber passengers are.

Dennis Prager is my Rabbi.
I’m not Jewish and have zero Jewish heritage but Dennis Prager is my Rabbi. He is one literally but he also embodies every idealistic portrayal of what a Rabbi should be - intelligent, worldy, calm, and very very wise.

I've had a few experiences with working class black Americans that was similar. The new racism, the wokeness...I made a comment once in that kind of mixed group about I wish we could all just get along and not care about skin color, and it was like a dam burst with everyone else agreeing. It was like they were relieved that someone was willing to say that out in the open face to face again.
It is sad that it has gotten this bad, but like Dennis, it is way too early to lose hope.
To: Celerity
Going on dates isn’t controversial. Being an older white conservative male in Philadelphia is.
To: Celerity
LOL! Excellent post. I've often wondered what Uber drivers think of some of their condescending White passengers.
My best experiences with Uber drivers was in L.A. almost all Persian / Iranian. Excellent and honest conversations. I let them start the conversation, and it usually is an excellent experience. I also agree with you on Prager. Overrated. Not as bad as Hewitt, but I don't listen to him.

Agreed. Prager is overrated, has a very high opinion of himself. He is the Steve Inskeep of the right.

Many years back there was a guy who told a tale of hitchhiking across the country.
When he told the driver he was unemployed he got long cordial rides, sometimes a meal.
When he admitted he was an unemployed politician who got voted out of office, it was a very short awkward trip...

Thatβs more than a bit harsh. Prager is one of the good guys. He uses reason and intellect yet he is devout. Those qualities not often seem together.

Reminds me of the time, just before the 2008 election, when my daughter was taking me to a restaurant in Philly. We were running late, so she decided to take a shortcut through a very black section of the city. While passing through, I caught sight of a huge billboard with a picture of Obama’s smiling face. Someone had climbed up and drawn a mustache and Van Dyke on it. I thought to myself, “that’s got to be a good omen.” In the event, of course, it wasn’t.

Funniest thing from Prager was his “Boo got shot!” episode!
