The Red Maryland Network

A special Red Maryland Radio recorded at the celebration of the one year anniversary of the inauguration of Governory Larry Hogan.  Our show includes special appearances by Red Maryland contributors Duane Keenan, Rob Windley, Professor Rick Vatz and our erstwhile colleague Mark Newgent.

We also interview MDGOP Executive Director Joe Cluster , House of Delegates Minority Leader Nic Kipke, oh and a bevy of beauty pageant winners.

A show not to be missed.

(Please excuse the audio quality but rest assured the content is worth it.)

What a difference a year makes!

Red Maryland Network presents a look back at one of our many remote broadcasts from the Maryland Republican Party's state conventions.  

In this broadcast, Greg Kline is joined by Jimmy Braswell.  Our hosts interview several elected offiical and party leaders.  They also receive a classic call from "Mr. Colorado".

A great memory and al ot of fun.  Enjoy!

Alan Walden's decision to run for Mayor of Baltimore certainly shakes up the race, and gives Republicans the first real chance at a respectable showing since Mayor Theodore McKeldin's 1963 victory.

On Wednesday, the legislature will vote to override three bills vetoed by Governor Larry Hogan. All three of these bills have bipartisan opposition to their being overturned by the legislature. If codified in law, these bills will make it easier for drug dealers to keep their money when they arrested; make it legal to smoke marijuana while operating a motor vehicle and to the smoke marijuana in public; and allow felons who been convicted and are still serving their sentences to vote.

All three of these bills were rightly vetoed by the Governor. Instead of passing common sense legislation and going back to the drawing board on some of these bills, the General Assembly leaders have decided to make a statement against the governor and allowing partisan interest to overcome good public policy.

That is why we urge all of our readers to contact their legislators and tell them to vote against an override of the Governor’s vetoes.

On tonight's show:

A broader view of the anniversary of Larry Hogan's inaguaration and the philisophical underpinnings of the divide in Annapolis.A Pro-Life Update deconstructing this latest pro-suicide propoaganda and addressing some of Red Maryland's critics on this issue.We open the "Fat Files" for this absurd Baltimore Sun editorial talking about warning labels on soda.

Today we thank Senate President Mike Miller for the rent-free space in his head.

This week on the Air Raid, Brian explores the move of the Rams from Los Angeles to St. Louis. The Rams move and the building of their new stadium actually is doing a positive thing for public policy; showing that stadia do not need to be built with taxpayer funds and can instead be built with private dollars, as they should be.

On the RedMaryland NewsHour:

Could it be Satan? Miller bedevils RedMaryland.

Hogan to focus tax relief on retirees, small business, manufacturers, & working families.

We talk to legislators about the upcoming session.

We have some of the speeches made on the opening day of the General Assembly.

Our news update includes the Governor helping the Rt.32 corridor.

One of the biggest issues facing the legislature the session is the issue of physician-assisted suicide. If you been following Red Maryland for years you know we've been covering this issue and sharing a lot of information and arguments against this terrible practice.

While this bill failed last year it is sure to come back and this year the supporters have the full support of Maryland's Libertarian party. The Libertarian party has insisted that the right to life has a corollary of the right to kill oneself, a concept referred to as autonomy.  In fact, a local radio show host recently criticized Red Maryland, calling us statist, because we didn't support state sanctioned physician-assisted suicide.

If you take the logic of autonomy to its fullest, what it means is, in the words of commentator Wesley J Smith, “we should get rid of all suicide prevention and get everybody assistance” whether they have six months to live or 60 years.

The fact is the concept of “autonomy” is a perversion of the right to life and is an undermining of the sanctity of life itself and it is truly that logic that's underlying what is being purported to be a very modest proposal in our state legislature.

For all of you who feel as we do, read Red Maryland and get the facts because we have them here at RedMaryland.com so please continue to check our site as we continue to cover this critical issue and help us oppose this terrible idea.
