Trevor Carey: Q & A

WARNING: POLITICAL OPINIONS FULL STEAM AHEAD
For misc. fluff, please, for the love of God, go discuss the reopening of the Rockin' Rodeo here. Save yourself!

Since there seemed to be some interest in where KERN 1410's latest addition Trevor Carey stands (he starts Oct. 3, 9 p.m. to midnight).

Notably from some readers who e-mailed myself and the paper after my story ran:

He is not a "conservative talk show host." The article said he would use the show to portray the Bush administration as "inherently evil." Quit calling him a conservative. Having listened (painfully) to him, I can attest to the fact that he is a leftie. There is no evidence in the article that he espouses anything "conservative." -- Fat Boy

Trevor Carey says that he is not a Republican or Democrat. That the Republican Party left him. That is a bit hard to believe since he promoted rap music and drove around with the rappers smoking marijuana. He says his show is about God, family and country, what is Godly about shredding the President of the United States? What does that teach ones children about respect for ones' country? The Republican Party did not leave Trevor Carey. We listened to him when he took Scott Coxs' place and the only reaction was anger at this man. That is not good listening, it does not cause one to have intelligent thoughts. We know that Kern Radio has left us and we suspect that many others will follow. -- a pair of KERN listeners

And that's not even touching on the blog comments. Taking a break from my usual rants about my hair and the entertainment scene in Bakersfield I decided to ask Carey just where he does stand on some issues so folks can make up their own mind on what's what. Those who come to my page to escape politics, please stare happily at the post on Rockin' Rodeo reopening located here and listen to me bitch rant on MySpace.

TREVOR CAREY Q&A

Did you vote for George Bush in 2000? If so, why. If you didn't, why?

Campaigned and voted for the man. Even drove my kids down to Stockton to hear Gov Bush campaign. I told my kids I support a man who supports the sanctity of life.

If you did vote for him in 2000, what caused you to lose faith in the president?

Well for starters, it's my belief that 9-11 was a staged pretext for war. Where was our military on the morning of 9-11? They were on stand-down. There are so many inconsistencies and straight up lies regrading the actions of this current administration. Plus, George W Bush has not done one thing regarding the crime of abortion in this country. He's a weasel who won't stand up for what he claims he believes in. That's not a leader!

You consider yourself a conservative, what kind of conservative are you? Define conservative.

Conservatism refers to opposition to change. Some conservatives favor the status quo. Conservatism implies that conservatives seek to conserve an ideal social order now in decline. The Patriot Act, Real ID, the war in Iraq, abortion, all things that are status quo today, are all things I disagree with, so I guess I'm a radical conservative that believes in God, Family and Country which I witness going into decline. Fight the Power!!!!!

Succinctly, (just 3 or 4 sentences) your opinion on ...

The war in Iraq: A false war, based on some of the largest lies ever imposed on the American people, and the people of the world. Our US spy satellites can tell us whether a quarter lying on California Ave is on the heads or tails side from out in outer space. The act of involvement in this war is criminal. It was evil. If they had just come out and said, "We're going to war because we need the oil," I could accept that.

Religion in schools: Public Schools: I wouldn't trust a public school teacher to direct my child's faith in God. Leave it up to the parents at home. Private schools: Yes.

Abortion: Believe it or not I am actually Pro-choice. A woman should have a choice. She does have a choice. Shut your legs honey.

The death penalty: I have a problem with this because as a Christian I feel that maybe that individual could come to terms with his maker while serving his life sentence. At the same time I believe in the self defense of society. If a guy is so twisted and demented I don't want him to have the chance to kill a correctional officer or fellow inmate. God gives life, God takes life away. If I was God I would support the death penalty, oh that's right, he already does.

Affirmative action: I believe in Affirmative Action. If it wasn't for Affirmative Action I wouldn't have a job in newstalk radio because we all know only white guys in their 30's and 40's are hired. No, Affirmative Action is racist. It was necessary in the 60's and 70's so that we as a society could equal out the playing field, but it's time has come to an end.

Conservative talk radio: One word, EGO. Two words, they're Right. Three words, Bush is god. I enjoy listening to Glenn Beck, Savage and Phil Hendrie. On the Left I like Randi Rhodes and Mike Maloy. Conservative talk is missing the message to the generation that's being asked to fight this "war on terror." That's where I come in.

The United Nations: The US should do a military take over of the building in NYC and open it up to high priced condos. The UN is nothing more than the cement foundation for the rise and eventual take over of our US Homeland.

France: Right now get a screwdriver and take the hinges off every French door you have in your house.

Michael Moore: It would have been nice if he would have really gone into the details of 9-11 and shown the true cover up that went down on 9-11. Sometimes I feel Michael Moore, and others like him, could actually be a set up opposition to the Bush Administration.

Immigration: All for it, legally. Bush is once again a liar. He campaigned on securing the boarders. If someone had home invasioned your house and killed some of your family members, would you leave your front door open at night? There's a lot more to it that meets the eye. It's called the Hispanic vote. If TV showed soldiers rounding up illegal immigrants crossing the border in Arizona, Hispanic voters would turn on Bush. He knew that, he was advised that, and he did that. It's one of the biggest problems facing the states of the South West. John Kerry could have won if he had made this his focal issue.

Unions: Don't know if you mean labor or gay. Labor Unions are there to make sure American workers receive a fair wage, are protected from selfish companies, and have a safe work environment. With so many jobs being shipped overseas, thanks Bush, thanks Clinton, the Unions are one of the last strongholds of a productive, strong AMERICA. Gay Unions- NO

Gay marriage: No. The sanctity of marriage was ordained by God and we mustn't allow the perversion of the homosexual lifestyle rob heterosexuals from the time honored tradition that is the fabric of this country. I do not hate gay people. I have two gay friends that I consider to be in the top 5 of my closest friend category.

Religion in politics: The separation of church and state has been twisted, spun and inacted into our life based on absolutely no Constitutional grounds. This country was founded on a Judeo/Christian bedrock. I want politicians to speak out on their religious beliefs. It shows me what kind of man or woman they are. Is it mandatory to be a Christian if you want to serve in the US Gov't? No, but don't hide behind it.

"Arnold the Governator:" He's a liberal in Republican's sheep clothing. He's pro-murder of innocent babies in the wombs of California mothers. His ties to the Nazi party go way back.
It's been documented that he abuses women, has affairs on his wife, and on top of that he can't hold a candle to Ronald Reagan when it comes to acting.

The mainstreaming of rap music: Every younger generation will have their outlet for rebellion. The 50's had sideburns and rock and roll, the 60's had long hair and psychedelic music, the 70's had cocaine, disco and pants that were way too tight, the 80's had punk and Miami Vice Sportcoats, the 90's had grunge and music that spoke of blowing people's heads off. Some rap is good, some rap is just ok and then some rap is straight from the fires of Hades. I've asked for my forgiveness for being involved in the mainstreaming of some of the harshest rap pumped out in the 90's-2000's.

The music industry: Lot of great people. Lot of creative people. Lot of hard working people. I see it as nothing different from the Gov't. Bad apples and good apples. The music industry, just like the Gov't is corrupt to the core.

Hollywood: Clean it up. PG-13 is out of control.

The Democratic Party Vs the Republican Party - how are they the same, how are they different how do you feel about them?
They are one in the same. It just makes for fun. Need an opponent.

Bakersfield talk radio - have you listened to it? Who do you like? Who don't you like?
Haven't heard it at all. I'm going to assume that there's not a single host on the airwaves of KERN county who will be exposing the listeners to the mindset I'm ready to blast out.

How will your show differ?
I bring the truth, no matter who it upsets. If I find myself corrected I will be the first to say I'm wrong.

Whew, that was heavy. And now back to your regularly scheduled distraction: Did you hear that Ashton and Demi finally got hitched? I don't care what anyone says. They make a hella nasty looking couple. Like the opposite of Brad and Angelina who look like they could blow things up with pouty lips and hair dye. Not that Ashton isn't good looking, but I'm more of Topher Grace kind of girl.
