An outpouring of support for Obama
Last night marked a day of unbelievable historic significance for the USA and the world. The election of Barak Obama is nothing less than a revolution of hope. The election of Barak Obama signals the beginning of the end of an ideology of hate and fear. Young people see America as a country of diversity. They are not blindsided by the biases of older Americans and they have been heard. Many will try to diminish Obama's victory by saying he benefited from a weak economy and an unpopular president, but the reality is is that Obama was a transformational candidate who spoke to the new America. What a glorious day." Nov 5, 08 10:19 AM

Police: Men caught burglarizing house in Southampton Village
Many of these men came here because there was work. They came here because of an insatiable hunger for cheap labor by local contractors and home owners unable to pay the ever-escalating costs charged by licensed contractors whose rates are ten time those of other cities in the US. I do not condone what these men have done nor do I feel they should be immune from prosecution, but the fact that many of these day laborers now have no work, no money to get home and are actually starving is a real problem. The humanitarian crisis we now face is a direct result of local government's refusal to do something positive about helping these men and women." Nov 16, 08 12:46 PM

Construction worker killed in job site accident in Southampton Village
Dear No Amnesty,
Your hatred and ignorance are simply overwhelming. Your username is a clear enough indication of where you stand and your all-capital-letter posting serves as further evidence of an extreme and misplaced loathing. Your gut response to the news of the death of a fellow human being is to use his tragedy as a platform for your anger. Pathetic."

Bishop touts economic stimulus package
Tim Bishop is right on in his support of the president's stimulus package. This money will help every day Americans and it is about time we had a congress and a president who cared about the disappearing middle class. To bayview, stop believing the republican propaganda. By the comments posted here we can assume that a number of people are still devastated by their parties huge losses. Let's not forget who destroyed this economy in the first place, shall we."

Republican majority on Southampton Town Board quashes plan to restructure financial department
It is just too bad that the revolution of enlightened thought passed right over Southampton.
