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 […]

J. Tierney: We can’t have everything we want
What do we want? On the one hand, we seem to want as much for our momma black bears and her cubs as we do for our TANF moms and her kids, maybe a bit more. On the other, we seem to want LL Bean quality at a Marden’s price. I suppose, like we tell […]

C. O’Neill: There’s welfare, then there’s welfare
I’m disappointed in my local representatives. They campaigned on rooting out welfare fraud and have failed to take action against the most egregious example. The Finance Authority of Maine’s New Markets Program is slated to pay out more than $35 million to out-of-state “investors” — for investments that have been labeled as sham transactions. This […]

C. Collins: Armed for my own protection
I am writing to warn the citizens of Dixfield of the numerous home break-ins/home invasions that have taken place recently in our little town. My home was broken into while I was asleep in the upstairs bedroom on June 25 at 8 First Ave. The thieves actually carried my jewelry armoire down the stairs and […]

R. Porter: Slavery then, now and tomorrow
People need to realize that America didn’t invent slavery, and was not the only country to have slaves. America was not the only country to be involved in the slave trade. Black people are not the only ones to be victimized as slaves or used as slaves, for instance, Middle Eastern folk and even white […]

G. Bennett: He’s trying to do what we hired him to do
Gov. Paul LePage was re-elected by the most votes for any governor in more than 30 years. Let’s remember that. He had already been governor for four years, so people knew who they were voting for. As a citizen of Maine I was very surprised Mark Eves was hired to be president of Good Will-Hinckley. […]

S. Lowell: Don’t insult the farmers
I would like to add to Sen. Roger Katz’ response (Sun Journal, June 24) to Gov. Paul LePage’s denigration of Rep. Peggy Rotundo as a “pig farmer.” I, too, know Peggy Rotundo and find her to be a thoughtful, dedicated individual. I also am a farmer, and this letter concerns the other part of our […]

H. Weber: A happy folk dance for Auburn church
I’d like to say “thank you” to Mr. Noel Smith and his friends for saving the former St. Louis Church from destruction. He helped a dream to stay alive of the architect and those men who worked on it, brick by brick. I’m not Catholic, but in my former hometown of Berlin, Germany, they have […]

E. Shurtleff: Civil matters must be discussed by the board
Strong selectman taken to task for performance of duty (June 23)? At the end of most meetings, discussion involves future issues not listed on the agenda and using “civil matter” as a reason for no discussion is reprehensible, as civil matters are duties of the selectmen. In swearing the oath of office, selectmen swear to […]
