Opinion Line (Sept. 6)

Why are colleges’ officials involved in investigating sexual assaults that happen on campus? If someone gets robbed on campus, don’t they call the police? Why treat sexual assault any differently? College administrators should not be acting as prosecutors, judges and juries.

The streets in Wichita haven’t been this rough since its cow town days, when the streets were strewn with dried cow chips.

We had excellent morale in the Kansas Highway Patrol in the 1950s and ’60s. We had the best of the best. Things must have changed.

The sad situation in Ferguson, Mo., could greatly benefit from a dose of honesty, and so far it appears no one there is willing.

Union thugs drove aircraft building out of Wichita. Now they’re after fast food. Those jobs were for kids to flip a burger. You’ll watch them go to robots soon.

Why shouldn’t Burger King move? The function of large corporations is not to make money for the government. And as long as we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world and the feds keep treating them like their personal ATM, we will continue to see businesses leave.

It would be a good idea to avoid an undeniably great burger. The corporation has used your good will and the national infrastructure to grow its business and move to Canada. Now it takes your infrastructure payments away.

When you go to court your case is going to be judged by 12 people who weren’t smart enough to get out of jury duty.

Kansas Democrats throw Chad Taylor under the bus in favor of Greg Orman, a guy who knows everything that is wrong in Washington but offers no solutions whatsoever. Does that really sound like a good plan? To quote an Orman ad, “Didn’t think so.”

The president deposed the innocuous dictator of Libya. The result was Muslim extremists running wild there. We have lost one embassy, one consulate and four Americans killed for this folly.

I think the reason Kris Kobach won’t release his tax returns is that they would show he makes more money from his moonlighting than he does from his “part-time” job with the state of Kansas.

Neither the governor nor the Legislature would have raised school funding without the Supreme Court forcing the issue. Let’s get real.
