The Concord Monitor’s managing editor, Ari Richter wrote an op-ed piece this week about the reasons behind the Second Amendment and, well, it’s not what you might expect. Writes Richter,
What is it with Democrats and the Second Amendment? Do they really think the point was to protect Americans’ right to hunt?.[snip].United States senators (and presidents) are not asked to believe in the Constitution. They are called on – and swear to – defend it..In the case of the Second Amendment, what they’re supposed to be defending is the right of Americans to defend themselves..Against tyranny. Not Bambi or Bullwinkle.Ari joins us to chat this up. While it’s something I’ve long believed, it’s always a joy to hear such sentiment in the forum of ideas. Ari is the chief blogger at the Primary Monitor blog.

Dr. Jay Buckey, a former space shuttle astronaut and present candidate for the Democratic nomination in NH’s upcoming US Senate race, will join the gang for a chat. He is, of course, the guy that hopes to beat Jeanne Shaheen ("Billy" Shaheen’s wife) for the chance to run against the incumbent Republican John E. Sununu. As always, we promise to be a "no sandbag zone" and look forward to discussion and a frank exchange of ideas.
-
Charlie Arlinghaus of the Josiah Bartlett Center joins us to discus the state of the state budget and Governor Lynch’s recent moves to curb state spending due to revenue shortfalls. This is, of course, no surprise to Charlie, and pretty much reflects his analysis as posted here back in December.
-
"All politics is local." We’ll cover several noteworthy happenings here in the local area. While it might not be YOUR town, simply change the names, and it could be anyplace.
