People try justifying illegally sending poor kids across borders to the United States in hopes of a better life. What about our kids? Giving kids to someone else to raise and learn a trade (indentured servants) or sending the kids to work at the mills and shoe shops at 8 or 9 years old isn’t […]

Restore common decency, please
Do Democrats really want to continue this dangerous “Hate Trump” campaign? The latest development in this campaign was when liberals felt free to harass publicly a member of the Trump administration who was merely trying to enjoy a quiet meal in a restaurant, forcing her to leave. Where is the sense of public decency and […]

Cartoon was erroneous, offensive
The opinion page cartoon in the Sun Journal on June 20, portraying the caged children at the border, was erroneous and offensive. That is not a joke. No way are the children being treated in this manner. They are sheltered, fed, clothed and clean — chances are, better treated than they were in their own […]

What are children learning?
Is civility in America quickly disappearing? Yes! Yes! Yes! I read Froma Harrop’s column in Saturday’s Sun Journal. I thoroughly agree with her points, but wish she would have added another thought to her topic. It is true that hearing the same lie over and over again makes the lie seem to be truth for […]

RCV 'conspiracy?' Definitely not
Joanne Schueth (letter, June 21) has unfounded concerns about ranked-choice voting and this month’s referendum. Ranked choice voting has no inherent benefits for any party. It provides relatively inexpensive instant run-offs when no candidate receives a majority. Ranked-choice voting respects the preferences of those who would be happy with their second choice, even if their […]

Destroying the Constitution
President Trump seeks out alliances with the enemies of freedom while insulting and alienating America’s longtime allies. He cozies up to Russia (which I see as perpetrating an act of war since Russia infiltrated the foundation of this nation — free elections), China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Syria. He has openly expresses admiration for […]

Make it a blue tsunami
Abraham Lincoln once said that upon the death of a corrupt lawyer it wouldn’t be necessary to dig a hole to inter him. He was so crooked, he could just be screwed into the ground. I wonder what Honest Abe would think about today’s Republican Party. Since President Trump took office, he has lied more […]

Leading the way with RCV
I want to congratulate the volunteers and voters of Maine who make the state’s motto, “Dirigo,” a reality. Maine truly leads the way in helping people realize the true meaning of the word democracy — a representative government for all people. Ranked-choice voting is far from a liberal “conspiracy” or “a secret agreement to carry […]

U.S. is no longer home of the free
The current immigration scene is not what the U.S. is all about. This country was created by immigrants. No one, including the heinous, benighted president, is without an immigrant in his or her background; even Native Americans are descended from Asian immigrants. A recent headline claimed that President Trump and the GOP lawmakers were working […]

Laws are there for a reason
Is the United States a country of laws? If I, as an American citizen, would have taken my two children, when they were younger, on a crime spree and broke into someone’s home, stole food, took money from draws and got arrested, I would have been put in jail. My children would have been taken […]
