Once again, Gov. Paul LePage embarrassed the good people of Maine with his careless comments. If a citizen were to voice what he has voiced in saying that he’d “like to shoot” members of the publicly-voted Legislature, they would be arrested. Seems to me that LePage should be thrown in jail. Mr. LePage obviously does […]

Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
G. DeMoras: We all need a little kindness
Concerning the behavior of Gov. Paul LePage, it could be he acts as he does according to the manner he was raised or treated as he grew up. I remember a patient in a nursing home where I worked in Massachusetts. She was always giving the nurses a hard time, never satisfied about anything, angry […]
T. Moody: Gov. LePage needs to resign
If the news coverage is correct, Gov. Paul LePage needs to resign or be impeached. It is unbelievable in this day and age that any modern politician would treat Maine’s House Speaker Mark Eves with such disrespect and dishonor. For any governor to treat and try to blackmail such a high-ranking state government official in […]
R. Bechard: Let’s stop asylum seekers
The Maine House approved a bill on June 22 allowing illegal immigrants to get benefits. Once again, the elderly and disabled veterans of Maine are getting stabbed in the back by the same people they elected: the liberal representatives. The liberal keep calling nonresidents asylum seekers. They are illegal aliens “period.” Mainers should read the […]
D. Bernier: Erasing our past is disservice to our nation
In his recent Street Talk column (Waving the Confederate flag in surrender), Mark LaFlamme asked an excellent question: Where do we draw the line? Why not remove Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill? When he was president he ordered the removal of scores of Native Americans from their lands. They were forced to march through […]
R. Theriault: ‘Typical’ Lewiston families work hard
Ellen Field of New Gloucester wants to see more stories about typical Lewiston residents, single mothers trying to escape poverty, immigrants facing racism, a homeless family, etc. (June 28). These are typical Lewiston residents? Most typical Lewiston residents I grew up knowing were hard-working people who had no expectations of receiving government help to make […]
M. Duguay: An introduction to an old friend
My daughter and her husband have a vacation home in Bridgton and they gave us the key to that home for us to spend some free and easy time “away from it all.” Every morning I bought two newspapers to keep me in touch with everything. The Sun Journal was one of the selections for […]
N. Gellatly: Teachers are multi-hat masters
In the Sun Journal of June 20 there was a column by The Washington Post’s Robert J. Samuelson in which he visited the classroom of his wife, a longtime first grade teacher. Admitting this was his first such visit, he came away with high praise for his wife’s efforts and for the teaching profession. Their […]
W. Sullivan: An obituary for America
Last Thursday, June 26, in Washington, D.C., the United States of America passed away in its sleep, surrounded by traitors and enemies of freedom. It died after a long battle with political correctness and “social justice.” The fatal symptoms first appeared on Inauguration Day, January 2009, when liberals overwrought with imagined “white guilt” installed into […]
D. Taylor: Science is about facts, not hoaxes
In his June 35 column, “Considering the pope, the globe and the facts,” Cal Thomas blithely assumes the pontifical role for himself. Among his sources of “fact” is (one of his favorites) climatedepot.com, the blog of Marc Morano. One does well to check Morano’s credentials. He is an employee of the Committee for a Constructive […]
