Opinion Line (April 9)

Just because you cannot impose your religion on me does not mean that your religious freedom is at risk.


If selling pizza to a gay couple means you somehow participated in their wedding, then selling guns to a killer means that you participated in a murder. You cannot believe one is true without believing the other one is.


If someone comes into my bakery and wants a Nazi symbol on a cake for a Nazi wedding, or naked pictures on a nudists’ wedding cake, will I have to bake the cake or be sued? I might have to have the Supreme Court decide. I quit. Bake your own cakes.


Americans have to elect a Republican president every four or eight years to put our foreign affairs back in order after a Democrat has lowered our international stature, hollowed out the military and often left the world on fire.


If Iran is developing its nuclear facilities for peaceful purposes only, why is it building them so deep in the ground?


Is it fair and compassionate to expect our grandchildren and great-grandchildren to pay back the money the federal government borrows for its 90 percent share of expanding KanCare? Wasn’t the crux of Obamacare that all purchase “affordable health care,” making the 150,000 Kansans in violation of the law?

If there is no voter fraud going on with the voting machines, Kobach should be happy to let the investigation continue. He who has nothing to hide, hides nothing.

When is the Kentucky basketball player who uttered the racial slur going to be expelled?


If Frank Kaminsky had made the same remarks about Andrew Harrison, there would have been repercussions clear up to the White House.


I heard both candidates for mayor. I picked the one whose voice I’d like to have read the Sunday funnies to me on the radio should there ever be a newspaper strike.


Shame on the swine who dump their storm debris in someone else’s yard.


We were dining at Village Inn on Easter Sunday, and some good Samaritan paid for our lunch. Thank you. We will definitely pay it forward.
