What a loss to journalism! Karl Strock the longtime attacker of the Catholic Church/Israel has written his last column. His last bird cage liner was on Sunday. We will miss his defense of Arab "reformers" like the mass murder Assad in Syria. Also memorable was his debate at SCCC on creationism where he was schooled by the Schoharie minister. No more defense for local morons. Finally the editors had enough of his "views".
No great loss in my view. We haven't read his column in years!

"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."
No great loss in my view. We haven't read his column in years!
Nobody has. A total waste of newsprint ripping the church and the one democracy in the Middle East. The only negative it frees up time for more blogging on his part. Watch the coming defenses of McCheese, County DEMS and horrible Obama.
It is difficult for me to believe that Carl Strock will no longer be around to write his “View From Here” that the people really enjoyed. Yes, even though Carl and I did not always agree on a few legislative issues, and he would verbally beat me up, we have remained friends. Yes, I’m sure Carl has vexed a few people throughout the 25 years he wrote his column, but I believe, too, these people never held a personal grudge against Carl. Why? Because each of them, along with me, realized that Carl’s viewpoints were part of his job as a columnist, and not geared to hurt any of us. I do want Carl to know that I have truly enjoyed reading his column. I also want Carl to know that I have about 11 very important people-oriented issues that I have been pursuing for years. However, local legislators have ignored taking actions. On behalf of the people — their bosses — I would love to have Carl contribute whatever retirement time that he has to help me put the heat on our local city/county legislators. I hope and pray that even though Carl has retired, he will stay involved with something that will keep his mind and body busy. Also, that he and his wife will enjoy each day of his retirement in a healthy, happy way. God bless you, Carl, for the great job that you did as a very informative, interesting and productive columnist for over 25 years. You and your column will be missed. FRANK J.

Very disheartened to learn that Carl Strock will no longer be writing his column, which I have been reading faithfully and attentively for 20 years. Though the Gazette has many fi ne writers appearing in its pages, the fearlessness demonstrated consistently by Mr. Strock — casting light into the dark corners of hypocrisy and duplicity in politics, religion and society — will be sorely missed and is, perhaps, impossible to replace in this age of “political correctness.” Here’s to you, Carl Strock!

I will miss Carl Strock. He brought a lot to the table — at least this kitchen table — each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Kudos! PEG LAPO Delanson

strock poked the beehive no matter what tree it was hanging from...oh wait...those were 'balls' not beehives....I didn't always agree with him but chewed it and spit it out...left behind was my effort at chewing....

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Strock did a great job defending convicted terrorists and looking the other way for Metrograft malarkey.
