That's true but Ellsworth, Bangor, Houlton and Presque Isle have a lot of liberal enclaves. The Ellsworth paper for example is openly anti-Israel and antisemitic and opposes tax reform as does the Bangor Bolshevik daily news. Washington county and some places in Waldo and Hancock counties however are very conservative.
Well, I’m sure I’m overstately things as I normally do. I feel for you, there you are supporting our troops and you’re treated like a criminal. That’s the way it is in this state. Stand up for what’s decent and honorable and you get screwed.
Say what? I have family in Houlton. I've been going there for 40 years on vacations. Heck, my Mom lives across the border in Woodstock. I've drank in Houlton bars, played softball there, done it all. My Uncle was on the Town Council for 20 years as a Democrat, and he was more conservative than GWB.
I guess what I'm saying is, I've never seen leftism in Aroostook County (except maybe at UMPI) unless you count residents on some form of public assistance.
If someone tried to torch an American flag in Court Square, people would line up to kick their ass.
Just my experience.
I will say, life was much better in The County before the idiots in the Pentagon shut Loring down.
