Blue Republican Radio with Robin Koerner
Hosted by Robin Koerner · EN
To sell the philosophy of liberty to mainstream America, we must speak a language that the mainstream understands.
To move that mainstream politically, we must focus on winning supporters rather than philosophical purity contests and speak the language of those we seek to persuade.
That means finding common ground and not being dogmatic. It also means coming at people with Love, not self-righteousness.

Feds Abusing Medical Marijuana Case Evidence
Dec 4, 201400:42:43Tap to summarizeKettle Falls Five/ Rolland Gregg: The Feds choose to ruin the lives of a family who use medical marijuana, putting together an outrageous case and abusing so-called evidence. Usually the state is unknowingly assinine and abusive of your rights. Sometimes, its small-minded power-crazed officials are knowingly malevolent. I invite any of the agents involved in trying to make this harmless family miserable to come onto my show and explain yourself. Remember, "just following orders" was heard a lot at Nuremberg too.
