DENNIS PRAGER (HOST): This country’s a different country. It’s becoming like other countries.

The left doesn’t believe America is special, that American values are special or exceptional, whichever term you like. You wonder what is special. If the United States is not exceptional, then is there any country that it has been and they would probably have no answer to that.

What is special is they – or them, if you prefer. They’re special, because they were raised by parents and schools that told them how special they are.

Where is my favorite sign? No. No, that’s not it. Damn, I threw it away. That school sign that I saw – school room sign that I saw in The New York Times. “The world is better because you are in it.” I don’t know what grade it was, I assume something like fifth grade. What a stupid message. Plus, it’s not true.

What has any fifth grader done to have made the world better because he or she is in it? Boy, again, as I’ve pointed out, it’s the opposite of how many of us were raised.
