Opinion Line Extra (March 24)

Ben Carson heals people, and he can heal the United States of America.


The ISIS JV team is sure causing a lot of trouble. Good thing they are not calling out the first stringers.


I’ll have respect where respect is doe. The current person occupying the office of president has done more to harm and undermine the nation than one would think humanly possible. To mindlessly respect Obama simply because he’s president would be stupid.


Eric Holder’s Justice Department spent hundreds of hours investigating the Ferguson, Mo., police department. It should spend at least half as many hours checking into Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal.


Loretta Lynch said the president’s unconstitutional executive action on illegal immigration was legal. Therefore, Lynch is unqualified to be attorney general.


Obama is always blaming Bush until he begs for credibility by claiming that he is just thinking or doing the same thing George Bush did.


What does it take for the lamebrains of Kansas to understand that if the wealthiest pay their fair share of taxes, funding problems go away?


Two of my three adult children have already left this state. Time for me to follow them, as our governor, secretary of state and legislators have made clear they don’t want us here.


I wonder if I can get the state Legislature to pass a “religious freedom” law for me that permits me to ignore all the “religious freedom” laws it has previously passed because they are against my beliefs.


If the authors of the recent letters critical of The Eagle’s “liberal” editorials are so upset, I’m sure if they contacted their representatives they’d be happy to introduce legislation banning the practice.


I have no problem with people owning guns as long as they are responsible with them. However, letting people carry guns without training is very irresponsible.


The highlight of the KU-WSU basketball game was hearing the crowd boo Sam Brownback and watching him smile and squirm through it. Made my day.


Isn’t it time time the NCAA stops handing out preferential seeds to teams like KU based on the team’s tradition? No way was KU a No. 2 seed. It took a dominating performance by WSU to expose the NCAA seeding farce.


KU fans, are you ready to eat crow? I have a few dozen in my backyard.


I guess KU can look forward to football season now. Oh, wait – they have to play K-State. Never mind.


I think the state of Kansas should be proud of all its basketball teams. Except K-State, of course.


How’s that “Hillside High” thingy working for you now?


Anyone else notice the March Madness TV ads are better than during the Super Bowl?
