Opinion Line (July 13)

Since his re-election, how often has Sen. Pat Roberts been back to Kansas to visit his chair – I mean home?

Compare the Kansas reaction to the same-sex marriage ruling to that of Missouri. If you were a national company looking to locate in one of the two states and would be asking some of your employees to relocate, which state would you choose? Again, thanks to Brownback, Kansas loses.

Roe v. Wade proved the Supreme Court’s vile contempt for God’s law, so, why was the decision on same-sex marriage any surprise? I don’t hate anyone, gay or straight, but I hate all of our sins.

The Confederate flag – like gay marriage – is not a problem unless you choose to make it one.

I am proud of the city’s decision to remove the rebel flag. Those veterans, including most of my ancestors, were fighting to secede from the Union so they could keep owning other human beings. I am not proud to have that in my heritage.

I am so glad they took the flag down in Veterans Memorial Park. Now we can all live in peace and harmony. No more crime or wars. Why, I feel so safe now that dangerous object is gone, I think I’ll leave all my money on my front porch.

Donald Trump talking about widespread “raping” is a lot like Kris Kobach talking about voter fraud.

The most important function of the federal government is protection of the physical safety of citizens and legal residents. The presence of persons here illegally and who are convicted felons is contrary to this mandate. The harm and death they have brought to U.S. communities is unacceptable.

We don’t have candidates in this country. We have people who won’t do the right thing because they’re afraid they will offend the Mexicans, gays, wealthy, NRA or elderly. Elect Donald Trump. He won’t take crap from anyone.

Unfortunately, there is some truth in what Trump said. The media and liberals believe in freedom of speech only when it agrees with their “politically correct” agenda. Not even the murder of the innocent woman in California by a convicted illegal alien will change their minds.

Trump makes a comment about Jeb Bush’s Mexican-born wife while his current wife and the mother of his children are immigrants. And he hires illegal immigrants to build his empire. Donald Trump for president of a free white America.

Bush’s plan to improve the economy: “People need to work longer hours.” Really? The middle class can’t keep paying to subsidize the wealthy.
