I have to preface this by saying that although my voter registration says republican, I'm pretty much apolitical, or as my very conservative friend likes to describe me, a "political agnostic". Still I find the debates here interesting. I posed a question here some time ago wondering when the politics in this town became so venomous and though there were some replies it seemed nobody really had an answer.

You can't imagine my surprise when I came across this Jan. 2, 1960 article in the Gazette. Freakin' amazing!! This sh*t's been going on forever. I can just see ol' Simon Schermerhorn and John C. Becker going at it.  

The headline reads:
"Rotterdam Combine Ousts Five Kirvin-Backed Men As Catcalls Stir Session"

This is page two.

I find it fascinating how little things have changed in the last 50 years. Just the names.

Hey, a few of the names are even ones we see and hear today!


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Very, and the carcass was much smaller to pick. Note how Kirvin was mad at them for sending the insurance over to Cervera/Feldman, then later he JOINED Cervera/Feldman obviously "if you cant beat em' join em!"

This internecine feuds are as old as the hills.

ps- Councilman Frank Damico  who was in the article just passed away this year.
