This is disappointing and stupid. I am a multigenerational New Englander with very good genealogical records. I can't count the number of second cousin marriages in my family. This was totally normal in New England. It is not an issue and this reporting is low blow. Anyone who is familiar with our region should know this and not make a spectacle. I cant convey enough how low blow this is. Second cousin marriage is a force multiplier for family wealth and family values. There is no reason to take shots at the "insularity" of the Allagash region. You are turning on your own here. There is plenty to criticize. Don't stupe so low.

What family values? He didn't marry her. If we want to argue theologically, second-cousin marriage is not a sin, but fornication sure is. Personally, I have more of an issue that this dude is banging his cousin out of wedlock and cohabitating for decades without even so much as a common law union. That, unlike marrying your second cousin, is an extreme sin.

I completely agree that Allagash and rural Maine do not deserve to be painted as a land of incest and stupidity, but keep in mind that this man is a Democrat. The entire Democrat brand rests on hatred of white men, and ESPECIALLY rednecks, who Democrats and elitists unanimously dismiss as inbred and too stupid to govern themselves. "Dixies/rednecks/Republicans/rurals are inbred" is the bread and butter of the anti-white racist and the affluent liberal.

For gosh sakes, the Democratic Socialists of America hates ethnic Dixies so much that "FINISH RECONSTRUCTION" is one of their official platform planks.

As much as I don't like Jacksons' political work or possible future, I have to agree with your comment. I see two consenting adults not hurting anybody with their personal decision, and there's far worse things in Jacksons' PROFESSIONAL past that make him a terrible choice. Attacking the "feelings" of our brethren who have practiced this without genealogical consequences only makes it harder for conservatives to find friends in hard to reach places.

Know what a girl from Allagash says after sex?

"Get off me Dad, you're crushing my smokes."

LOL! Hey, even the grimmest among us have to laugh a little.

I've had to learn to extract as much humor out of this state's politics ever since the democrat/communists took over

I'm no fan of Jackson...He's just another democrat dirtneck trying to make the state more miserable than it ever has to be. That said, is this the best we can come up with? Jackson has a thousand other things about him that make him an absolutely terrible choice for Maine...he's anti-gun, pro-illegal alien, pro-tax YOU, and anti-voter ID...he's committed fraud (and was well aware of it) in one form or another...and for me to know these things about him should tell anyone reading this that he's bad, BAD for Maine.

He's NOT ANTI GUN.....rather he is PRO GUN REFORM and unless your a BILLIONAIRE HE HAS NO PLANS TO RAISE YOUR TAXES.. AND IF TROY ACTUALLY COMMITTED FRAUD YOU'D BE SPILLING THE BEANS RIGHT HERE......SO SPEWING MAGA BULLSHIT DOESN"T HELP YOUR CASE JIMMY

When I was a kid, mongrel dogs were called "snow storm accidents", as in, when the snow was so deep the dogs could walk out of their pens. It does snow a lot in far northern Maine.
