The Liberal Dan Radio Program

On the July 30, 2014 episode of Liberal Dan Radio: 

Hobby Lobby is in the news again. This time the pro-family organization is being called out for firing an employee that needed to take time off to give birth. 

Gay marriage bans are dropping like flies. This time it is in the 4th circuit where 5 states in the central east coast are covered by the ruling. One has to wonder how long it will take for the courts to finally say that the gay marriage issue is settled and you cannot dicriminate. Hopefully that will be sooner than later. 

Finally, I will have on as a guest Mark Moseley. Mark is a Louisiana blog publishier, journalist, and a guru of politics. I will have him on to discuss a variety of issues including if the Democrats can take advantage of the current fractured state of the GOP. 

Those issues, tweet of the week, words of redneck wisdom, headlines and more at 8pm Central on Liberal Dan Radio: Talk From The Left, That's Right. 

And as always, if you missed the live broadcast you can always add your opinion on the show threead on LiberalDan.com.

That is pretty much it. I am just going to talk about stuff. From politics, to wars, to abortion, entertainment news and more. If you want to talk about stuff, call in and we can talk about stuff together.

If you miss talking live about stuff and want to talk about it on my blog, here is the link at liberaldan.com.

On the July 16, 2014 episode of Liberal Dan Radio:

Virginia police are charging a boy with posession and creation of child ography. I will go into why the charges are ridiculous and the ridiculous lengths that these police were willing to go to in order to obtain certain evidence.

Tennessee has implemented a controversial drug law that liberals are opposed to since it would punish any woman who gave birth to a child that was addicted to or harmed by any narcotics taken during her pregnancy. I will go into why I am not seeing the big problem here and the flaws in some of the arguments being made against the law.

Finally, Democrats need better wordsmiths. I will go over a recent fundraising request I received by the DSCC about a so called voter supression law. Their sloppy writing makes them an easy target. I will also review other examples, one from Louisiana, where Democrats have shown an inability to make the argument correctly.

All those, headlines, tweet of the week and more on Liberal Dan Radio, Talk From the Left That's Right. Wednesdays at 8pm central on BlogTalkRadio.

On the July 9, 2014 episode of Liberal Dan Radio:

Two weeks ago I was the guest of Steven VanderGast, host of Move the Middle on Blog Talk Radio. We had a really good discussion on several issues. This week I welcome him on my podcast for more of the same conversation. Any topic is fair game, so join the discussion.

I will also have headlines, tweet of the week, and more at 8pm Central on Liberal Dan Radio: Talk From The Left, That's Right.

On the July 2, 2014 episode of Liberal Dan Radio:

The horrible ruling by the Supreme Court came down pertaining to Hobby Lobby and the mandate for employer based coverage to provide oral contraception. I will go into why this ruling was terrible. (Check out liberaldan.com and @liberaldanradio on Twitter to see some of my initial criticisms).

Then, in the second half hour of the show, I will have on Niki Papazoglakis, founder of Freagle, the virtual town square. We will discuss why she started this venture, what her plans for it are, and how you can help get it off the ground.

Those stories, headlines, tweet of the week, and more Wednesday and 8pm Central on Liberal Dan Radio: Talk From The Left, That's Right.

On the June 25, 2014 episode of Liberal Dan Radio:

Bobby Jindal is still up to no good, including discussing the idea of a "hostile takeover" of the US. I will continue my review of him and his leadership of the stupid party.

Front and center of the stupid party is the tea party. When Senator Cochran defeated tea party candidate Chris McDaniel in the GOP primary runoff in Mississippi, he did so by reaching out to Democrats in black communities. The response by the tea party folks is amazing and shows why they continue to have a perception problem (if not a problem in reality).

Finally, the Supreme Court made a very big ruling on privacy rights today. Even better is that the ruling was unanimously reached. I will go into that subject as well.

All those issues, headlines, tweet of the week, and more Wednesday at 8pm Central on Liberal Dan Radio: Talk From The Left, That's Right.

On the June 18th, 2014 episode of Liberal Dan Radio: 

From Benghazi to small government only when they want it to be, the GOP continues to live up to the label that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal called it when he said that they needed to stop being the "stupid party". But not even Bobby Jindal is immune to the stupidity as he unleashes more horrible legislation on the state (which is even worse than how I described it last week). So today I review the stupidty and show why Bobby Jindal is the person spearheading the increase of stupidity in the party instead of the one eliminating it. 

Those issues, headlines, tweet of the week and more at Wednesday 8pm Central on Liberal Dan Radio: Talk From The Left, That's Right.

On the June 11th, 2014 episode of Liberal Dan Radio: 

Back from vacation and so much to discuss. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal signed a bill into law that seeks to retroactively strip the ability of local flood protection agencies to sue oil companies for damage done to the flood protection system by their drilling processes. So much for the free market. This smells more like protectionism. I will go into why this is a bad idea and why this decision is similar to what happened in Oklahoma .

Louisiana also embarassed itself by requiring doctors to keep a dying pregnant woman alive, despite any advance directives, in order to allow her to be a breeding vessel. I will briefly cover this and the other law that required doctors to have admitting privileges in nearby hospitals.

But the main point of discussion this week will be the stunning loss of Eric Cantor, House Majority Leader, in a primary election. All through my attempts to push the #RetakeCongress I have said that no election should be taken for granted. I have discussed the desire of the media to mock underfunded candidates in order to prove that money is needed to win elections (specifically money to buy their advertising). I have discussed why it is vital to get out and vote in every election. Cantor losing puts a huge exclamation point and should clearly show why it is vital to not sit at home on election day.

Those issues, headlines, tweet of the week and more at 8pm Central on Liberal Dan Radio: Talk From The Left, That's Right.

On the May 21, 2014 episode of Liberal Dan Radio:

The calls to renew the unemployment extension have resumed. I will go into why conservative arguments agaisnt the unemployment expansion fall flat on their face.

Then I discuss more issues dealing with the #RetakeCongress tag I created. First, the GOP will be running against President Obama in 2014. So shouldn't Barack Obama run against them in 2014 if he wants a Congress to support him?

Finally, I will be speaking with Vic Meyers, candidate in Colorado's 4th Congressional District, about his campaign.

Those issues, headlines, tweet of the week, and more at 8pm Central on Liberal Dan Radio: Talk From The Left, That's Right.

On the May 14, 2014 episode of Liberal Dan Radio:

The story of the show is injustices. First I will talk about the injustice that took place in the recent supreme court ruling that states prayers before governmental meetings are ok. I will explain why this is wrong and why the justices who ruled in favor of this "tradition" get it wrong on "harm".

I will then be discussing The Darker Side of Justice, with author Gerald Price about the injustices that can take place in our judicial system.

That, headlines, tweet of the week, and more this Wednesday at 8pm central on Liberal Dan Radio: Talk From The Left, That's Right.

Remember, this is the last week for the Liberal Dan Radio Kickstarter. Contribute before May 20th.
