Inclusiveness Requires Censorship?

The big story last week was a University Language guide that finger-wagged “problematic” words in order to create a more inclusive campus environment. The story went national. We discuss why removing the guide doesn’t change the culture that birthed it, then move on to our next guest to discuss the debate on legalizing drugs.

How The Word ‘American’ Became Problematic

The big news this week was a University of New Hampshire Language Guide that explained what words were problematic in conversation and should be avoided to foster diversity and “inclusiveness.” We journey back to the 1990’s with our Ed expert Jorge Mesa-Tejada to explain when this problem with the word “American” began.

Limiting Principles? What Limiting Principles?

We continue with Mike Farris, on the political abandonment of the limiting principles of the constitution. How we got here. How we get back.

Ending Religious Liberty

Constitutional appellate litigator Mike Farris joins us to discuss the US Supreme Court’s Same Sex Marriage ruling, and how it is an attack on self government, and individual rights.

New Hampshire’s Dumbest Laws

We open the program with the poorly laid Main Street remodeling plans of dopey Concord NH central planners.  Then Max Abramson returns to tell us about “NH’s dumbest laws,” about puppet shows, milk containers, and yes – the hands-free law. (Part 1 of 2)  

More Dumb Laws – Dumbest Laws Part 2

In part 2 of NH’s dumbest law we discuss laws against keeping time in a tavern, no running machinery on Sunday, don’t Inhale diesel fumes with the intention of getting high (inhaling for other reasons is fine); then we find ourselves discussing bio-diesel, pedophilia, “does neigh mean neigh?”, honor killings, and same sex marriage.
