Opinion Line (Feb. 19)

The FBI investigating high stakes poker in Wichita? What’s next, a legal casino south of town? With perhaps a big poker room?

The state can’t balance the budget and fund schools, but the governor wants to build the Sam Brownback International Airport. Is that right?

Our Kansas U.S. senators need to hold town forum events. We have questions. They don’t answer e-mails. Are they hiding?

It’s no surprise that gun proliferation has brought on more aggravated assaults in the community. But wait, there’s more: Gun-toting students will soon be the norm on our colleges campuses.

I recently drank coffee with a cowboy in a Flint Hills’ cafe. I asked about open and concealed carry of guns. He said, “Those folks are all gun, no guts, no common sense.” He tipped his hat, smiled and left.

Hey, Kansas farmers: Trump is canceling our trade agreements that you depend on for selling your grain. In the words of the Republican sage Sarah Palin, “How’s that working out for ya?”

I defy anyone to find “separation of church and state” anywhere in the Constitution. It is a figment of narrow liberal minds.

Watch out; when Jesus comes back he won’t be allowed in Trump’s America.

I don’t know what to do. Should I go ahead and purchase tickets to the upcoming Foreigner concert, or should I see if Trump throws them out of the country first?

I watched some of the “Cleavage Awards” last Sunday – I mean the Grammy Awards. It was rather titillating.
