Red Maryland Network Presents another great remote show.  This episode involved Andrew Langer and Mark Newgent of The Broadside broadcasting from the Conservataive Political Action Conference in March, 2013.

Mark and Andrew are joined by Red Maryalnd's Brian Griffiths and a bevy of special guests highlighted by a hilarious appearance from WBAL's Derek Hunter.

So, sit back and enjoy, as Red Maryland Presents The Broadside Live on Tape From CPAC 2013.

Part One of Brian Griffiths' commentary about the upcoming General Assembly session.

Join me in a thought experiment if you will.  Imagine we elected a new president that received less than 5% of the vote in our state.  That President, for fear that Marylanders would resist his new policies, decided to land military troops, arrest legislators and hold them without charge, destroy landmarks in the city of Baltimore and sent military troops to shoot them in the streets.

Well folks that is exactly what happened in our state in 1860 during the secession crisis. Maryland never succeeded and while historians debate the point, Maryland was never likely to secede. Yet Maryland, unlike other border slave states Kentucky and Missouri, was occupied militarily and threatened with destruction for showing any signs of resistance. Popular leaders were arrested without charge or availed the writ of habeas corpus.

It was this injustice and the resistance to it that is contained in our state song.  Our state song is an important reminder of the unique and important history of our state. It has nothing to do with slavery or with the Confederacy, other than looking to states that were resisting a federal government that was literally killing Marylanders in the streets.

That is why the recent advisory committee deciding that we should change our state song is dead wrong and why Governor Hogan is exactly right and calling it what it is:

“Political correctness run amok”

An all new Conservative Refuge tonight at 8pm to start the new year.

On tonight's show:

 Maryland legislators are planning a flurry of new proposed laws with over 1200 bills drafted for the new session.  We'll discuss.The General Assembly seems intent on rewriting our state's history, from our state song to our state motto.  I relate what I wrote years ago on the topic and question why some Maryland Republicans are joining this "political correctness run amok."Pro-life update with a great article from Wesley J. Smith about media bias and the shock of the mainstream media toward certain euthanasia truths.And because people do judge you by the words you use, a list of the most misused words in the English language.

Brian Griffiths introduces our newest show the "Red Maryland Wake Up Call".

On this week's show, Brian laments the overimportance that Maryland conservatives place on the Presidential race? Why does everybody lose their minds over a race that has little impact on their daily lives? Why are there conferences with a focus only on federal issues speakers? Why won't people get this excited about State Senate, House of Delegates, and county and city races when that's where all of the action is?

This time of year we look back on the past, and ahead to the future.

On our New Years Edition of the RedMaryland NewsHour we do the same.

We look to the past with an interview with former Governor Bob Ehrlich during another Presidential election season 4 years ago. Then we return to the present as we talk with Delegate Ric Metzgar about the General Assembly session to come, and we mention some of the bills in th House and the Senate that have been pre-filed for 2016.
