Opinion Line (March 10)

The new Kansas Republican motto: “If it’s not broken but we don’t like it, we fix it.” Or: “A chicken in every pot and a gun in every pocket.”


I am a retired Kansas teacher. Could I be arrested for being a danger to the other voters at the senior center?


You are spitting in the face of God when you claim that a teacher has the right to present all forms of moral perversion to our impressionable youth. Are you ready to hang a millstone around your neck and be cast into the sea?


Evidently Brownback administration officials and the tagalong legislators had bad experiences as students, as they have done everything in and out of their power to destroy public education in general and teachers in particular. Unfortunately, it will be our kids and grandkids who ultimately pay for their temper tantrum.


If we had real justice in America, Hillary Clinton would soon be the cell mate of Lois Lerner.


Republicans want to privatize every aspect of government, yet Clinton merely privatized her communications and their heads are exploding.


It appears the only e-mail not stolen by Edward Snowden was Clinton’s.


Vote for Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend’s wife for president.


If nothing else, Obama has shown that we shouldn’t put someone in office solely due to their race – or their gender, for that matter. No empty suits or pantsuits in 2016.


With war coming to Iran, perhaps Bill O’Reilly, as war correspondent, will get it right this time.


Is Sam Williams any relation to Brian Williams?


So our choice for mayor now is between two conservative old white guys. How exciting.


I want to vote for a mayor who does not think it’s fine to jet off to China and Africa. The job should be service to Wichita.


My body is thankful for the change back to daylight saving time. It never adjusted to the last change. Now there will be a little less dozing in the La-Z-Boy.


I wish the powers that be would change daylight saving time to plus-four hours. That way I could play 18 holes every night after work. How could that be bad?


This newspaper needs conservative alternatives to editorial cartoonist Richard Crowson and columnist Davis Merritt, but I’m not volunteering. I can’t draw, and Merritt has a much better vocabulary than I.
