Occupiers have no reason for anti-Semitic rhetoric
As a Christian and an American, I feel that if I didn’t speak out about the anti-Semitic rhetoric coming from the Occupy America crowd, I would be as morally guilty as a German Christian on Nov. 9, 1938, or Kristallnacht. Yes, the protesters may have grievances, but that is no a reason to slander a […]

Government funding, grants come from us
In the article, “KVCC turbine starts turning” on Oct. 20, Dana Doran said Efficiency Maine provided funding for the project two years ago. Where did Efficiency Maine get the money? It got it from you and me. Every month, it is added to our CMP bill. Don’t you hate all those fees that are attached […]

Oct. 16 marked the 95th anniversary of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood nonprofit health care providers work every day to prevent unintended pregnancies and keep women healthy. More than 90 percent of the services Planned Parenthood health centers provide are preventive — lifesaving cancer screenings, birth control, and prevention and treatment of STDs, care that many […]

Digital conversion a ploy to get more of our money
Time Warner Cable needs money. Wait, let me rephrase that: Time Warner Cable wants more of “our” money. It is changing to an all-digital cable TV signal, which is eventually going to cost us more money. None of my friends is interested in digital TV. I suppose some people want it, but I doubt it’s […]

High rate of return from early learning programs
Rep. Patrick Flood’s Maine Compass, “Early childhood programs help kids succeed, ensure Maine’s future,” got it right: High-quality, early education is a key component of not only children’s future successes, but also Maine’s economic competitiveness. High-quality early learning programs, such as Head Start, are great investments that actually pay back twice — in both the […]

Extras on potatoes are bad, not spuds themselves
Currently a hot discussion about the value of potatoes in the diets of children suggests that potatoes are much to blame for producing fat kids. As far as I know from researching nutrition for my cookbooks, newspaper and magazine articles, potatoes are good for us. It’s the butter, sour cream and rivers of saturated-fat gravy […]

Editorial about Cain missed the mark
It seems that somewhere I’ve heard that Herman Cain was president and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza. Oh, yeah. It’s been plastered over every news outlet, countless times. How many voters know that he also has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, a master’s degree in computer science, was a mathematician for the Navy, a computer systems […]

How about a trade pact for Americans?
The Obama administration seems to have tried every trick in the book to jumpstart the economy and increase jobs. From cutting taxes to keeping interest rates low, bank bailouts, stimulus plans and now a doomed jobs bill, nothing seems to be working. The tea party-led Republicans are even a bigger failure with their fixation on […]

Do gambling advocates care about their brothers?
I have noted that lots of energy is being expended to get the casino/ gambling ballot initiative passed. Is it paid energy? If so, do these gambling advocates really care about their brothers and sisters? Our holy writ says, “Don’t do anything that will cause your brother (or sister) to stumble.” Many stumble for the […]

Obama brought change, but not good change
During the presidential campaign of 2008, Americans of many political persuasions became enamored with the idea of electing an African-American to office and thereby showing the world that we were not biased. Words like “change” and “hope” were bandied about, and we capitalized on a real hope that change would occur, piloted by a leader […]
