My wife and I and part of our family were there to have a good time in the community and celebrate Old Hallowell -- a great little Maine town (we even lived and worked there once). We bought a couple of "Hallowell Chairs" and ate strawberry shortcake.

We love Slates. The kicker came when (what appeared to be) a secular-progressive, far left group proudly marched by with their Bush-hating, seditious "Impeach Bush" dribblings.

First of all, that kind of politics should be left out of parades -- that's not the forum for that and if not, then, according to true Democratic policy, the Republicans, independents and otherwise patriotic, God-fearing people with different views should be included.

But this is exactly what ruined the Common Ground Fair for us and why we stopped going to that -- because of one-sided politically motivated views being put on at a family/community event without an opposing viewpoint to promote intelligent and responsible debate -- something our country was founded on.
