Je Suis Charlie

01/09/15 • 60 min

Liberal Dan Radio returns to Thursdays at 8pm Central this week, January 7th, 2015. A terrorist attack in France at the headquarters of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo has caused shockwaves around the world. Muslim extremists attacked the paper for some cartoons it has done. Can one really claim to have faith if one is effected by simple drawings mocking ones religion? Shouldn't ones faith be able to overcome such feelings if ones faith is strong? This story also revealed another item that Conservatives like to harp on. Conservatives believe that Liberals are soft on Muslim extremism and would allow so called "Sharia Law" to be enacted in the US. I will explain how that is absolutely untrue. It is not just Muslim extremists who want to attack free speech. Kirby Delauter doesn't seem to quite get that simple fact. I will talk about his claims and the hiliarious response to them as well. Finally, I will be discussing the Steve Scalise scandal that continues to run through the media and explain why his choice to knowingly accept an invitation to speak given to him by a person known to him to be a racist is the biggest problem here. Those stories, headlines, tweet of the week and more this week on Liberal Dan Radio, Talk From The Left, That's Right. You can support Liberal Dan Radio by going to the gofundme page.

Freedom loses

On the December 17, 2014 episode of Liberal Dan Radio: Freedom has taken several hits this week. A Supreme Court ruling, Heien v North Carolina, has ruled that a search conducted after a police officer misapplies the law is a legal search. This, however, was not the case in Arizona V. Gant. I will discuss both cases and why I believe this is an elimination of freedom. Sony pictures caved today and is refusing to release the movie after a group threatened to attack movie theaters that showed the movie. Several chains had already said that they would not be showing the movie previous to this anouncement. I will give my thoughts on this as well. In other news, the GOP has shown their hypocrisy yet again. I will discuss how and why as well. Those issues and more on Wednesday at 8pm central on Liberal Dan Radio, Talk From The Left, That's Right. I have made a change with my crowdfunding attempts and this year I am going with gofundme. Please check it out. If you are listening after the live broadcast, you can always comment on the show thread on LiberalDan.com.

The more things change

... the more things stay the same. On the January 15th episode of Liberal Dan Radio: George Zimmerman is back in the news. I will go over his current charges and bring us back to the case where he was acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin and explain again why that was a travesty of justice. Gay marriage is on the move again, this time in Louisiana where a panel of judges heard oral arguments over why the ban on gay marriage in the Louisiana Constitution violates the United States Constitution. They also heard counter arguments on why opponents to gay marriage feel that a state should be able to vote on rights. Those arguments will be explored in the show as well. And finally, if there is time, I will go over yet another propaganda comic book that I received for the holidays. This time it is about the Tea Party. Those issues, headlines, tweet of the week and more on Liberal Dan Radio, Talk From The Left, That's Right. Remember, I am currently running a fundraiser. Please support the show so I can start to expand it. Finally, if you are listening after the live broadcast you may always respond over on the show page at LiberalDan.com.
