God loves men; doesn’t he love women, too?
Faith Evangelical Church on Kennedy Memorial Drive has a huge message on its billboard: “God Loves Men.” Is the church saying that God does not love women? Just for the record, if it were not for women, men would not be on this earth. Please love all people and be kind to others, red, yellow, […]

Wanting to know who won GOP delegate votes
After the Republican straw vote fiasco, why isn’t the Maine GOP or the press reporting who won the delegate votes? The name and number of those elected to the state convention is not published on the Republican website nor has yet to be released to the press. The delegate vote was far more important than […]

Walk on trails for walking, ski on trails for skiing
“Everyone should be able to enjoy Quarry Road,” I was told by a woman walking with her adult daughter and two grandkids and a dog off the leash on the ski trails at Quarry Road. She was right to say we should all enjoy the trails, but she wouldn’t listen to my request that they […]

Obama pushes social ills that Marxists push
Danielle Bartz’s letter (“Men shouldn’t dictate women’s health care,” Feb. 28) refers to the health mandate recently proposed by President Barack Obama. This mandate would have required all Catholic entities to provide access to contraception for all its employees, despite the moral teaching of the Catholic Church against contraception.

Reclassification overlooks vital role of self-employed
When President Barack Obama released his budget last month, he set aside $14 million to combat employee misclassification. The money would be used by the U.S. Department of Labor, the IRS and participating states to reclassify employees. How could this affect workers here in Maine? State and federal agencies would have the financial backing they […]

Religious right makes it seem as if it’s 1612, not 2012
Am I the only one shocked about the recent contraception debate and the religious hijacking of insurance coverage? I can’t believe that it’s 2012 and it’s actually an issue to provide the pill under insurance plans. It must actually be 1612, and the religious right also is trying to prevent women from other sexually deviant […]

Increase in pollution not good news for Maine
No matter how you spin it, it’s not a good thing that Maine’s pulp and paper mills are spewing more toxic chemicals into our air, water and land. The Feb. 26 article, “More toxins? Good news” missed the mark on the federal government’s Toxic Release Inventory and what it means for Maine. Maine people and […]

Who knew Maine had so many rich Democrats?
Who knew that Maine has 100 Democrats who are willing to pony up $30,000 to rub elbows with Barack Obama at his Maine fundraiser. And who knew that 800 Maine Democrats are willing to pay anywhere from $100 to $10,000 to be in the same ballroom as Obama that same day. And people talk about […]

Republicans want to prod Obama into Iranian war
Once again, rabid politicians and media pundits spew a steady stream of propaganda designed to con Americans into supporting yet another needless war. The idea that Iran would ever attack either Israel or the United States with nuclear weapons is nonsense. Iran knows it would be destroyed in retaliation. Any pre-emptive attack on Iran by […]
