Memories of Smalltown Freedoms Recalled (Update)
July 3rd, 2011 · 3 Comments
Today, more than ever before, the freedoms celebrated by Americans on Independence Day appear to be at risk. Among the most important are some freedoms I remember growing up with in Enid, Okla., during the ‘60s and ‘70s. The people of Enid had the freedom to feed the world. Because my “forever hometown” in North [...]

Though some might judge me a conspiracy nut for even posting this piece, I care little about what others think when I know something is right and just. After all, a majority of Americans voted for Barack Obama, proving anything is possible. Anyway, someone visited Bob McCarty Writes today and, while here, posted a link [...]

Fireworks Recalled on Third of July — Why?
July 9th, 2008 · No Comments
It never ceases to amaze me how efficient and effective government bureaucracies can be. Case in point is a recall notice — dated July 3 — that I found posted on the U.S. Government-run Recalls.gov. The notice, which made me want to laugh and cry at the same time, was worded this way: Black Cat [...]

But according to a news release from Texas A&M University at College Station, the juicy fruit may be better suited for Valentine’s Day. Why?

July 3rd, 2007 · 3 Comments
Happy Birthday, America! On Independence Day 2007, I thought it appropriate to share the video below that shows the late President Ronald Reagan delivering a famous 1964 speech that, while intended to be a stump speech for Barry Goldwater, launched a stellar political career instead. Why highlight President Reagan on the Fourth of July? Because [...]
