Equating the Nazi horror with the presumed evils of a president and his administration should be reason enough to discount both the seriousness of purpose of his opponents and their sanity, as well as their honesty and sincerity.

When Gingrich says western civilization is steadily being eroded, he’s absolutely right.

LETTER: Primary definitely should be held in June

We urge all voters to contact their state senator and assemblyperson to ask that they support immediately passage of a June primary date (for congressional, state and local offices).

LETTER: Jump data came from head coach

Mr. Beadle tirelessly works to report on the sports programs at Palmyra-Macedon. The community greatly appreciates his publicity of our local student-athletes.

LETTER: There's not always just one way

I am writing this letter to say I agree with Mr. Isham in his article, and to let parents know that when they recognize creativity in their children, they need not listen to them when they say, “That’s not how Mr. Isham does it.

Kent Bush: Pet projects not affected by ‘conservative’ principles

Are there any real fiscal conservatives? Typically, those who identify themselves as fiscal conservatives really just want to limit the money they spend on you. The money they spend on themselves and their pet projects never seems to fall into the category of waste.

LETTER: HHS mandate attacks freedom of conscience

I hope all readers will contact their elected representatives in Washington, D.C., and voice outrage over this anti-life mandate.

COMMENTARY: Want a better Legislature? Cut our pay

Slice the time that state legislators spend in Albany — the less they're there, the less damage they'll do.

COMMENTARY: Who's this Saul Alinsky Newt keeps talking about?

Saul Alinsky, oft-demonized by Newt Gingrich, worked for social justice in Chicago — and, when invited, Rochester.

LETTER: Ron Paul is the voice of real America

All the policies of Ron Paul represent the real solution of our problems, not just a “band-aid.” All other candidates (of both parties) are engaged in the adventurous journey that evidently leads to disaster.

LETTER: Setting the record straight

I have reached out several times since the letter appeared to speak with Mrs. Asher because I want to better understand exactly what happened and explain our policies.

GUEST VIEW: More than one way to deal with a budget shortfall

My current belief is that these proposed cuts have been dictated in a vacuum, we haven’t done due diligence and that our children and community are the big losers.

The intersection of Pittsford Main Street and Monroe Avebue is something to avoid at all times.

Suzette Martinez Standring: Are you ‘flunking sainthood’?

Ash Wednesday reminds me of the Lenten sacrifices of my childhood. I was pint-sized and pious. At the age of 6 I gave up watching TV for forty days. Hearing Huckleberry Hound cartoons play in a distant room brought exquisite pain. The next year, I was a 7-year-old at the 7 a.m. daily Mass for Lent. Where did all my spiritual discipline go? Now I battle with Fat Tuesday every day of the year.

EDITORIAL: It's a campaign budget — what else would you expect?

THE ISSUE The good news about President Obama’s $3.8 trillion budget for fiscal year 2013 is that it's flat compared to the current year.

RANTS: The flavor of the month

My money is on this latest, sudden switcheroo in American energy policy being just another short-term fad, soon to be lost in the schizophrenic flailing that has typified U.S. energy policy for more than 30 years.

LETTER: Series of shameful acts by president

My kid brother is a disabled Nam vet, and this guy thinks Hanoi Jane is a role model. If Israel hits Iran with “nukes,” and I hope they do, will he join the rest of the U.N. when they retaliate?
