We've been talking about politics and current events from a liberal perspective for a very long time. This podcast captures some of those conversations. You can join the discussion, too! Arthur and Jason Arthur and Jason amerinz@ihug.co.nz no yes 2PP086 – 23 April 2013 http://2political.com/?p=192 http://2political.com/?p=192#comments Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:25:32 +0000 admin http://2political.com/?p=192 Continue reading →]]> There was a lot in the news this week, and we start with the Boston bombings. First, Jason asks how it was reported in New Zealand? We then move on to the generally poor newsmedia coverage.

From there it’s on to a happier topic: The enactment of marriage equality in New Zealand. This lets Arthur talk a bit about how the legislative process works in New Zealand, and how it differs from the US.

Politics comes along, of course, and we start and talking about Republicans as it relates to marriage equality. We end up discussing the Supreme Court cases a little more. From there, the budget—what a mess. Is the fight over social security cuts part of a larger strategy? Ultimately, this leads us to a discussion of religion in politics, of all things.

Near the end, we have a more general discussion about how the Internet has changed political interactions. Not only are things faster, people don’t check things but express their outrage, anyway. We even talk about things from Arthur’s activist past.

We got there, despite it all.

We begin talking about Jason’s trip to New York, and some customer service issues. When we turn current events and politics, Arthur starts us out talking about the two marriage equality cases that the US Supreme Court is about to hear. We move on to a discussion of the (bad) state of the Republican Party.

We begin today with Jason’s trip to the Open Day at the Library of Congress—and to a real estate open house.

When we begin talking about current events and politics, we talk first about C. Everett Koop. Then, we move on to the sequester. Then it’s on to the Republicans and their obsession with destroying democracy. Charter schools—clearly one of Arthur’s pet peeves—also gets a look in. All of that leads us to talk about instant runoff voting, of all things (Arthur suggests watching the video in the links—it explains it much more clearly than he says he did). While it wasn’t the best explanation, the system nevertheless could be part of the way forward.

What did we think of the, um, “responses” to the State of the Union Address? This leads to a longer discussion about the Republican Party and its ongoing problem with the “tea party”.

First off, it’s episode 81, NOT 82. Then, Arthur had some roofers doing work (it was like déjà vu all over again…). He tried to edit out the noise, but sometimes he couldn’t and said it sounded like military drums (well, that’s what Arthur thought—maybe he’s paranoid?). Anyway, we got going and before we even hit ten minutes, Jason’s computer spat the dummy and we had to pause. Then, we had to stop again so Arthur could deal with the roofers when they were done. The phone rang. Arthur’s dogs even barked. Too much. Sigh.

Still, despite all that, we got through a lot! After special days, we moved on to an extended discussion of Jason’s (cheap!) trip to New York City. After another interruption, we move on to news and politics, starting with the Republican plot to change the Electoral College. We’re not impressed. It leads to a larger discussion of the contempt Republican Party leaders have for democracy—they put “party first”. The discussion was typically organic—but interrupted, so, yeah.
