I write to comment on Thomas Shields’ letter (Nov. 18), “Recommended improvements.” Finally, I can agree with Shields regarding the future of the citizens of Maine and the country. The Republicans have won the position of power with the recent election results. They have the opportunity and responsibility of undoing all the wrongs that the […]

N. Smith: How about providing solutions?
This is in response to letters to the editor from Leonard Hoy, Robert Lacombe and Richard Grover (Sun Journal, Sept. 7). They complain and even suggest that President Obama should be “impeached for disgracing America.” They mention the Middle East, Ferguson, Mo., ISIS, Afghanistan, Russia, etc. They accuse President Obama of indecision, devoting all his […]

N. Smith: Whose fault is it?
This is in response to Mary Jane Newell’s letter (June 9). She has joined Gov. Paul LePage, Lewiston Mayor Bob Macdonald and Tom Shields on the “it’s the liberals fault” for the problems Americans face. She accuses the liberals of trampling over the Bill of Rights and even the U.S. Constitution. She goes as far […]

N. Smith: A two-party system
Thomas Shields commented on Jan. 16 that the Democrats at the state and federal level are, once again, the reason for all the failures that plague this great nation. Every letter he writes to the Sun Journal has the same theme and, as I have suggested in the past, he must believe in a one-party […]

N. Smith: Why so upset?
This is in response to Mary Jane Newell’s letter, “Congress must do something” (Nov. 18). She brings up, again, Benghazi, Syria, Egypt and now adds Iran, as examples of President Obama’s failures. Then adds, “and now Obamacare.” I would like to remind her that it is called the Affordable Health Care Act and it is […]

N. Smith: The source of the information
This is in response to Marcel Morin’s letter, “A dangerous man” (July 6). I honestly thought the letter would be about former President George W. Bush. It seems many people have a problem with President Obama and I would guess it revolves around their source of information. Why does Morin find Fox News factual and […]
