W. Van Tassel: Obama didn’t know much about anything

President Barack Hussein Obama didn’t know about the U.S. spying on world leaders? Right. He knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi? Right. He didn’t know about the imminent problems with the health care website? Right. He didn’t know that the majority of citizens would be paying more for health care, not $2,500 less, as […]

N. Willard: Obama not the dangerous man

It is a sad state of affairs when someone like Marcel Morin believes that the president is “A dangerous man” (Sun Journal, Oct. 28). I am afraid he has been listening to the Republican attack machine and their smear campaign against the Affordable Care Act and all the other Obama endeavors to improve people’s situations. […]

Larry Carrier: Get Democrats out of office

Recently, President Obama and the Democrats claimed victory. What is their victory? This country owes more than $17 trillion and counting; more people are working part time or have no job at all; more people are on food stamps; and the disaster of Obamacare to the medical community and to patient care continues.

J. Baird: Washington in a mess

On Channel 13 recently there was a gentlemen, John Joyal from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, who stated he was upset that he had been “sequestered” after working there for 37 years.

N. Bourgoin: Constitution threatened

As a candidate in 2008, Barack Obama not only promised change, but that he would “transform” America. Most people accepted, unknowingly, that it would be for the good. He later said that “We have flaws in our Constitution” and that “We are not a Christian nation.” God was being pushed aside. The nation is being […]

C. Swanton: Put blame where it belongs

It is extremely disturbing to watch the debacle taking place in Washington, D.C. How could anyone who actually knows what is going on, expect the leaders of the Republican Party to go along with everything that the president, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi demand? The past five years have been a disaster. The Affordable Care […]

J. Trapp: Unanswered question

U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., stood in front of Congress and gushed about how wonderful the Affordable Care Act was going to be for everyone. If she believes that, why did she get an exemption from the president so that she doesn’t have to enroll? In fact, the president, members of Congress and their staff […]

Austin Bay: War against terrorism far from over

President Barack Obama declared in his 2013 inaugural speech that, “a decade of war is receding.” However, al-Shabab’s seizure of a Nairobi, Kenya shopping mall illustrates, in cold blood, that the terrorists’ war on the civilized continues — its savagery and political calculation undiminished. American soldiers say the enemy always gets a vote. On Sept. […]

Austin Bay: Many options available for Syrian situation

Expanded intervention in Syria’s civil war? The promised “red line” punitive strike? An equivocal pause for congressional rumination? Ambiguous postponement? Or … a “Saturday Night Live” Emily Litella “never mind” skit on the world stage — farcical incompetence an obscene response to obscene tragedy? The five preceding sentence fragments framed as questions sketch five potential […]

J. Guglielmino: Shame on Marsters

So, David Marsters chose wrong words and was quoted out of context when he said on Facebook to shoot the President. Then he elaborated on his obscene comment in interviews. Marsters claimed that what he said was out of frustration over the man. I am 72 years old, raised in New England, living now in […]
