The liberals are really whining now that democracy has spoken. Get over it. This is what America was built on.


Headline for 2013: “Bankrupt and insolvent state of Kansas accepts takeover bid from Koch Industries.”


With the conservative Republicans having won in the primaries, we need to pass out tourniquets to children, seniors and the disabled. Conservatives will cut them wide and deep.


It’s sad that Kansans seem to choose their candidates by whether they are pro-life and anti-gay instead of how well they will do their job.


I want to thank all the Democrats who became Republicans before Tuesday’s primary election. As your choice and the vote showed, it is change we can believe in.


So qualifications and intelligence take a backseat to ideology for Republicans. Sounds the same as for the Democrats.


It seems that the people outraged about corporations making political contributions are never bothered about labor unions making political contributions or trial lawyer associations making political contributions.


I wonder how many of those who came out in support of Chick-fil-A’s stance on “traditional marriage” had been divorced at least once.


I could swear I saw a Chick-fil-A store in the lower-left corner of one of the pictures sent back from Mars.


If we’re only going to do business with companies that have the same religious and political views we have, we’re not going to be doing business with very many people.


The article on USD 259 busing (Aug. 10 Eagle) just confirmed that no amount of tax money will suffice when you waste unnecessary tax dollars due to incompetent management. Parents should be responsible for transportation if their child attends a magnet school, as that is a choice.


Close all these so-called magnet schools and make the parents responsible for getting their kids to school. It’s costing nearly $26 million to bus students this year? Incredible.


What type of person would blame President Obama for the lack of jobs, and not blame the hundreds of American companies that have moved their factories to other countries?


Voting an extreme left-wing guy into presidential office was a mistake waiting to happen, and now it has. Don’t make the same mistake twice.


If Mitt Romney, when in graduate school, had treated information and quotations the way he does the president’s statements and record, he would have been thrown out for cheating.


Our vehicle died in a right-turn lane at a busy intersection. Not 15 seconds after my fiance got out to push the car, five people rushed to help us. Time and time again I am surprised and brought to tears by the good people of Wichita.
