Content WITHOUT Conviction

It's just plain refreshing listening to someone who speaks, not only with passion, but passion rooted in principles.

Dennis Prager is one of those 'refreshing someones'. He's a guy who speaks not only with passion and clarity, but with an actual CONVICTION. (Remember when politicians used to do that too?:) My Great-Great-Great Grandpa said "Those...were the days."

Take a couple minutes to check this out:



A few thoughts:

1) Talk Radio is great and all, but it may need to die so that Dennis Prager, after finding himself jobless, can become who he's called to be...the 45th President!  :)

2) When you hear someone speak from their conviction...you know it. You feel it. Dennis makes ME wanna be American! (Ohh wait, I mean...Double American:)

3) Conviction is combustible, and will set your words on FIRE! "Content" communicated without conviction is the definition of CLICHE. It's lifeless and ultimately imparts nothing more than recycled, room-temp platitudes that fail to captivate or compel anyone to change.

4) I love hearing Dennis speak because he delivers SUBSTANCE, not SLOGANS. 

5) His diagnoses of America reminded me of what Proverbs 29:18a says:

"Where there is no vision the people cast off restraint."

Is America's VISION up for grabs?
