Opinion Line (Nov. 15)
Instead of on WaterWalk, Jack DeBoer should use the $41 million from city taxpayers to buy business jets. Maybe then we could put some of the laid-off aircraft workers back to work.

So "our nation has seen God do marvelous things"? Do you mean like killing off most of the Native Americans and forcing the rest to live in squalor?
President Obama is always depicted as having big ears. So why can't he listen?
President Obama got this nation into debt? Where were your heads for the eight years prior?
When we elected Barack Obama as president, people thought he was going to change our country for the better. Well, it's one year later, and we still don't have a health care bill and our country is in more debt than ever.
All members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, are co-conspirators in the bankrupting of America.
President Obama favors the people. Republican Party leaders favor lobbyists. Why? Because they get paid well in campaign donations by the corporations to vote the way corporations want them to. Selling your vote should be treason.
The Fort Hood massacre shows just how much political correctness has overcome common sense when dealing with a radical Muslim. Nidal Hasan apparently provided all the warnings necessary to prevent this disaster, but senior U.S. Army officials were so afraid of aggravating the Muslim population in the military, they chose to ignore the signs.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's now-fulfilled promise to ram the House health bill through exhibited a disdain for Americans that made Marie Antoinette look like a populist.
None of us would wish our president to fail doing the right things. Upholding our Constitution, protecting America, securing our borders and bolstering our economy are the right things. Robin Hood ideals of wealth redistribution are not. God save the working class. President Obama will not.
As American citizens, we should all be able to vote on this health care system. No lawmaker from Kansas speaks for me.
Looks like Kathleen Sebelius did a great job preparing for the swine flu.
Obviously, we should ban all guns from the military. The only reason those shootings at Fort Hood occurred was because personnel had guns. If we ban all guns from the military, shootings like this just wouldn't happen. Oh — wait a minute.
If Kansas wants to consolidate school districts, it would be more logical to combine Wichita and Derby and Goddard and Maize, rather than pick on several schools out west located 50 to 60 miles apart.
The article "Top clunker trade's mileage isn't much better" (Nov. 5 Eagle) showed the government's inability to administer even the smallest programs.
President Obama has pulled funding for a nuclear waste site at Yucca Mountain in Nevada that already has cost taxpayers billions of dollars. If this doesn't convince you that Obama is trying to take the United States down with his arrogance, nothing will.
With our central location and strong health care and manufacturing industries, Wichita should become a center for vaccine manufacturing. Then the United States wouldn't have to rely on foreign countries for vaccine.
I'd bet at least half the people complaining about the possibility of the tanker deal going to an American-European company are driving cars made by Japanese-American or Korean-American companies.
For those not old enough to remember, the Russians threw everything they had at the Afghans and couldn't beat them. Do we think we are smarter than the Russians? I personally don't, but that's beside the point.
President Obama said jobs are now going to be his overriding focus. Too bad he did not have the same focus when the stimulus package was passed. If it had focused on jobs instead of every Democratic wish from the past 20 years, we might actually be getting recovery in the job sector.
