Partisan politicians acting like children

Encourage voting

Oct. 27 at 6:20 a.m.

Now that Kansas has a secretary of state whose top priority seems to be making voting more complicated, Sedgwick County sorely needs an election commissioner committed to encouraging and enabling more people to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Too bad state law lets the former, Kris Kobach, hire the latter.

Jennifer M. Keys: Reality of public schools nothing like the NFL

By Jennifer M. Keys | Oct. 27 at 6:20 a.m.

Memo to Republicans: If you don't nominate Mitt Romney, you're nuts.

An abuse of trust

Oct. 26 at 5:27 a.m.

Authority figures are human, not superhuman. But it shouldn’t be too much to expect them to avoid sexual misconduct, especially involving minors. When they don’t, their actions betray trust and tarnish institutions. And they must be held accountable.

Cal Thomas: Will things change for the better in Libya?

Oct. 26 at 5:22 a.m.

Forgive me if I don't join the U.S. State Department, American officials and world leaders in their euphoric "Hallelujah Chorus" celebrating the demise of Libya's Moammar Gadhafi. Oh, I'm happy he's dead, but I have as much faith that things will change for the better in Libya as I do in the Great Pumpkin rising from the pumpkin patch on Halloween night (sorry, Linus).

Cain preaching ignorance on immigration

By Mary Sanchez, Kansas City Star | Oct. 25 at 12:08 a.m.

Time to leave Iraq

Oct. 25 at 5:28 a.m.

So the Iraq war finally is ending with a fragile agreement and withdrawal of the remaining 43,000 troops nearly nine years, billions of dollars and 4,500 casualties after President Bush’s “mission accomplished” moment. Worries remain, but it’s time to end this war.

Criticism of Mormon candidates misleading

By Russell Arben Fox | Oct. 25 at 12:08 a.m.

In a commentary, Robert Jeffress defended negative comments he made about Mitt Romney's Mormon faith ("A candidate's faith should matter to voters," Oct. 21 Opinion). Specifically, he said Mormons were members of a "cult" and that mainstream Christian voters should be wary of them.

Defeat of jobs bill is good news for economy

By Elaine L. Chao | Oct. 24 at 12:09 a.m.

President Obama may have predicted gloom and doom when his "jobs bill," sequel to the trillion-dollar 2009 stimulus bill, failed to pass. But its defeat is actually good news for America's near- and long-term economic prospects.

Leonard Pitts: Occupy protest now needs agenda

Oct. 24 at 5:33 a.m.

By one measure at least, the movement that began with Occupy Wall Street is already bigger than the tea party ever was.

Kansas views (Oct. 24)

Oct. 24 at 5:33 a.m.

Tax plan — There is something retro about the tax talk in Topeka. A bunch of professors and business folks are getting into supply-side economics.

Medicaid cuts hurt seniors

Oct. 23 at 12:09 a.m.

As the speaker of the Kansas Silver Haired Legislature, I am in a unique position to feel the pulse of Kansas senior citizens. And I must say, many Kansas seniors are becoming more and more concerned about the direction our state officials are taking to control Medicaid costs. A recent Eagle article made it even more alarming ("Aid changes could force seniors out of assisted living," Oct. 17 Eagle).

Country needs to find the middle

Be open about reforms

Oct. 23 at 6:42 a.m.

Gov. Sam Brownback has kept an impressively public schedule, showing up all over Kansas for summits and other events. But his policymaking needs more transparency and less “trust us.”

Burdett Loomis: the green tsunami

By Burdett Loomis | Oct. 23 at 6:40 a.m.

Kansas has no seashores, but it will be hit — with 100 percent certainty — by a green tsunami in the summer of 2012, when the state will experience a wave of campaign spending unlike anything we've ever seen.

Mark E. McCormick: Protests are generating energy but little heat

By Mark E. McCormick | Oct. 23 at 6:40 a.m.

Before the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS, children played with colorful, spinning tops. They weren't nearly as complex as the aforementioned contraptions. All you had to do was rip the cord, send the top spinning, and watch the patterns swirl and merge into a dizzying dance of color.
