Are you wearing red?

Good show this morning on The “O” Word on BlogTalkRadio:

I sent out a prayer request for “Concrete Bob” Miller, who suffered a heart attack, we talked about snakefish and eels found in places they logically shouldn’t be, and my grand-nephew Jacob will be joining us today. In Celebrity Birthdays, today’s question – Who is Anni-Frid Lyngstad? She turned 64 this week, why is she famous? Leave your answer in the comments. I talked about Holiday Mail For Heroes – follow that link to participate. Big thanks to Paul “Prying1” Young, co-host of Left Coast Righteo and Harvest Pastor of Harvest Radio for calling in and contributing.

I Need Your Help

November 18th, 2009 . by Cary

I have a BlogTalkRadio show, called The “O” Word” on Friday mornings at 0700 hours Mountain Standard Time. Sometimes, I go into a show and don’t have the faintest idea what I am going to talk about. Sometimes, it works out, and other times… not so much. I am asking you, my readers who might also be my listeners, to help me out by suggesting stories that I might research and talk about on the show.

They don’t have to be anything deep and thoughtful – the farmer down the road from you who has the two headed calf would be a good story point to start from – and as my listeners know, the rabbit trails get pretty convoluted after the first sentence. So , really, anything would work. Leave a suggestion in the comments here, and I will even credit you with the idea seed on the air.

Yes, this would make you co-producers of the show. I’ll read the credits at the end, if you would like, and you can hear your name on the air then, too. Anything. Anything at all.

(actually, I got this idea from Dirty Jobs – Mike Rowe is always asking viewers for ideas, and they are well over 200 episodes…

Meanwhile, I’ll be working on the family tree some more. Click the “Wisconsin Cartters” tab on the headliner to see how far I’ve gotten.

Using Their Own Tools Against Them

November 16th, 2009 . by Cary

For the life of me, I cannot remember who I need to H/T for this. I saw a blurb on Facebook, and followed through with it, and now I need to let everyone know about it.

The Demoncratic Party has made it possible for all their loyal unionist thugs to write one letter to the editor and have it sent to as many newspapers and other “news” outlets as the letter writer chooses. Chandler’s Watch published the link, and I think the best thing for us, as conservatives, to do, is to use their own tool to help our cause(s). The site has lovely “talking points” to help those of us not quite sure what we want to say. I used them to my advantage.

Here’s the letter I sent to The Arizona Republic, the East Valley Tribune, the Arizona Daily Star, the Daily News-Sun, The Daily Courier, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Financial Times:

Subject National Health Care
Message Last November 7th, the House of Representative caved in to pressure from Speaker Pelosi and her ilk to pass a form of Government Controlled Health Care. This bill, which was NOT placed before the public in order for it to be reviewed prior to the vote, will increase the national deficit, promises to fine and/or JAIL anyone who does not purchase government mandated coverage, and increase t he cost of doing business for all businesses in the United States.

Representatives who voted for this bill, in spite of being shown what this bill would do to the insurance industry and ignoring what their constituents were telling them, should be put on notice by We The People (remember us? your employers?) that they will not be representing us any more after the next election you are in.

Representatives who voted against this bill should be commended for their right-thinking actions, and assured that their positions will not be under attack.

This one hundred year fight is not over. As long as there are conservative thinking people in this nation, the government needs to be told over and over and OVER again that they shall not institute socialist programs like this one.

And, while we’re at it, get the government out of the automobile and banking business, also. The government is not here to control us, the government is to be controlled by We The People.

The Demoncratic Party was nice enough to send me an e-mail confirming my use of the site, and providing a link to let them know, should my letter get published:

from Democratic Party
to carycartter AT gmail DOT com
date Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 23:30
subject Speak Out: Thank you for writing a letter
mailed-by web.listbounce.democrats.org

Thank you for writing a letter to the editor.

By speaking up, you’ll help shape pubic opinion in your community and ensure that health insurance reform becomes a reality in 2009.

If your story gets published, we’d love to hear about it. Please let us know here:

Friday News

Short show on The “O” Word – there was a Skype Skip right after the show started, and it went downhill from there. BTR thinks I was not interested in continuing the show, so I was on but not streaming – which means that if you tuned in to listen, you got bupkis. Listen to the show (all 21 minutes) in archive.

Speaking of the show – during the birthday listings I asked who two people were. In the comments, if you remember, tell me who Christopher Knight and Philip McKeon are. Their occupations and why they would be listed in the celebrity birthday section…

Be sure to wear red today, thank the next Veteran you come across, and have a great weekend – I’m off to finish a roofing project. Sorry, no pictures for this one.
