It never ceases to amaze me what people in this world find to attack about a person.
It’s almost as if there has been a spot within their minds that has blacked out causing them to be blind to circumstances literally right in front of them.
For some reason, these “blind” people seem to think U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik is wrong to support our military when Fort Drum is right in our backyard containing the very men and women who protect our freedom and drive our local economy.
Supporting law and order is unpopular as well because they think police are our enemy and should be defunded.
The Second Amendment is very bad, too, which is confusing because at the same time we would contend that, while shrinking law enforcement, we should remove the citizens’ right to protect themselves in times of violence or assault.
Support small business — that’s not popular, especially if the small business voices any concerns related to being shut down or has an unethical expertise like farm stores, gunsmiths or law enforcement gear.
By all means, sell all the CBD, crocheted hemp hats and Walmart goods as you possibly can.
Church? Those crazy people are too peaceful. Gathering in their sanctuaries showing love for their fellow man.
On the other hand, rioting is good. Assaulting people who disagree with you? Good.
Democrats apparently hope those people get home safely. To top it off, disrespecting the president is very popular these days.
Socialism looks pretty fun, too.
Surely we have to quit picking on China and Cuba. They love America and hope for our prosperity.
Confused yet? You should be.
Elise is attacked daily for doing what is right, finding compromise, supporting America and not foreign interests. She loves our police and military, holds the Second Amendment as sacred, believes in the right to follow God and worries deeply about a future our children will have to live in.
I for one do not have the before-mentioned blind spot and probably never will.
America first, peace in our world, caring for your neighbor — that is her agenda.
Not the hodge-podge collection of evil that some people are advocating as good.
The more she is attacked, the more I like her: tough, fair, relentless and, most importantly, a patriot.

Simple fact Mr. Ashlaw, if you support treason against our Country feel free to support Ms. Stefanik, but please don't equate your lack of patriotism or failed value system with the collected whole of the North Country.
Treason? Are you having flashbacks to Beau Bergdoll, who your party adored? How about Diane Feinsyein and her Chinese driver, maybe? Elise Stefanik and treason? You better look at the definition of that word.

this letter is insane! someone has been watching too much fox or oan.
Its insane, I say! You sound like Crazy Eddie. Maybe hermit has been watching too much MSDNC, LCNN and listening to LNPR.
the idea that anyone thinks stefanik is wrong to support the military (never mind to what extent it's true -- cough, russian bounties, cough) indicates a break with reality. and the letter goes downhill from there.
Everything in this letter is a straw man. All made up positions for the writer to knock down. It’s easy fighting straw men, isn’t it?
She needs to be more McCain like and avoid boot licking POTUS.... her efforts for the north country get lost because she won't separate from Trump.....
McCain like, huh? You mean the milquetoast candidate who lost to BO? Of course you would suggest that. Liberals hated him until the feud with Trump. Try to remember these things, eagle.
Liberals didn’t hate John McCain. They may have frequently disagreed with him. When they did, they didn’t say he wasn’t a hero because he was captured and spent years as a POW being tortured. They respected what he went through. Trump, OTOH, has no empathy for anyone’s pain and did hate McCain and had no respect for his service. Oddly, that doesn’t seem to bother you. When Trump calls WWI vets who sacrificed losers or those who voluntarily go in the service suckers you just find ways to excuse that. Even now you’re attacking McCain. He ran a respectful campaign. He lost because Bush’s economy was in the early stages of the Great Recession. The economy came back all through the 8 years of Obama’s presidency and was in good shape when Trump took over, a fact that he continually lies about.
No ....the McCain that served the country and was captured in Nam...refused an early releases...and served a life time of public service... who's biggest mistake was picking that wing nut Palin for his running mate... that's what I remember PB... As soon as Stefanik distances herself from POTUS, she'll get the same respect... November may take care of that for her...
Holy Cow! I forgot about Palin. That’s how bad Trump is. She would’ve done such a better job than what we’ve got.
