Opinion Line Extra (April 30)

Is it pure laziness, a total lack of pride in oneself or a complete disrespect for everyone else that causes a person to walk around in a public place wearing pajamas, a housecoat and slippers?

Democrats continue the policy of giving more and more “fish” to Americans and hoping they will refuse to “learn how to fish” – resulting in record numbers drawing on Obama’s welfare system.

Hillary Clinton recently ridiculed corporate America regarding income inequality. Bill Clinton has made in excess of $100 million delivering speeches since leaving office. Hillary has been receiving in excess of $200,000 per speech. She sounds like a hypocrite.

Why stop anyone from joining ISIS? When they’re in this country, you have to watch them and possibly imprison them and care for them. Let them go and they become terrorists and we can kill them. Problem solved.

Arthur Laffer, who was paid $75,000 to help wreck the Kansas economy, says that Brownback’s economic policies are working just fine. The top 1 percent in Kansas is now 37.5 percent better off. Yes, it’s working just as planned. Enjoy the oligarchy you voted to create.

In Kansas if you are on welfare you can’t buy movie tickets or tattoos, but you can buy a gun and ammunition. Let’s just make the rule how conservatives really want it: You can buy a Bible but not a Quran or Torah.

The only K-State newcomer of interest is a new head basketball coach. Nothing is going to change until Bruce Weber is gone. His “motion offense” is throwing the ball around the perimeter for 35 seconds while he critically staggers courtside.
