Opinion Line Extra (July 16)

Are you watching Greece and Puerto Rico closely? You should be. That’s where we’re headed.

Greece, the shining example that Obama and the Democrats are trying to follow into oblivion.

If our economy and the dollar tank, and we become Greece and Cyprus, we should put President Obama’s likeness on the currency.

The Constitution must amount to little more than toilet paper if the government can force you to buy something or get others to buy it for you if you can’t afford it, and fine you for noncompliance. Nothing about Obamacare is moral, and the Constitution does not support this sham.

I assume that polygamy is now legal in all 50 states, since there cannot be any discrimination.

The Bible says eight different times that eating shellfish is a sin, but homosexuality is only mentioned twice. Why aren’t conservatives calling for a ban on shellfish? It seems that an all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet is a much greater sin than gay marriage.

Since the Supreme Court marriage ruling, how are the gay activists now going to like no longer being part of the oppressed? Their activist organizations must be about to take a huge financial hit.

Someone said: “Against gay marriage? Then don’t get gay-married. Against abortion? Then don’t have one.” That’s like saying, “Against slavery? Don’t own a slave.” Some things are intrinsically wrong.

I’m pro-choice and pro-gay marriage, because another person’s choice isn’t any of my business.

Gay people can now get married. It’s nobody else’s business. I’ve never understood how “religious” people feel they can get away with telling everyone how to live. I don’t go into their church and tell them all the imperfections I see with their beliefs. Churches don’t even pay taxes.

Jesus forgave the sinner and said, “Go and sin no more.” The Supreme Court said to the sinner, “Go and keep sinning as much as you like.”

One Opinion Line contributor complained about people picking and choosing Bible verses to fit a certain opinion, then wanted me to look up verses in Matthew and Isaiah. Sounds like picking and choosing Bible verses.

So Brownback and his legislative allies disagree with court orders requiring them to obey the Kansas Constitution and adequately fund public schools. The governor and his allies are doing much worse by threatening to provide no funding to the state court system, leaving Kansas in a state of judicial anarchy.

To those who defend dangerous breeds: Have you been in an enclosed area with no way out when one of these dogs came at you? Would you put your hand out and say “nice doggy”? Is the dog still your No. 1 concern? How about the humans it comes after?
