Opinion Line (Aug. 26)

If you want to see businesses flock to Kansas, the answer is simple: Create the best school system in the country.

Schools across the state are reporting increases in students, which means people are moving into the state, which means employment is increasing. Could it be that the simpleminded’s claims about the governor’s economic plan and people leaving the state in droves are wrong again?

Voter ID laws are not actually intended to discourage fraud. They are intended to discourage voting. It’s too obvious for everyone not to know.

NASCAR has more stringent inspections than Obama has Iran doing in its nuclear buildup.

Way to go, Joe Biden. News is released that you are about to announce a presidential run and the world’s stock markets crash.

This country is starving to death for a leader who is not so paralyzed by being politically correct that he or she is unable to answer a question in plain English. Donald Trump is filling that void. Why would he not be leading the pack?

Scott Walker has eaten far two much conservative cheese. Everything that comes out of his mouth has something foul about it, and his policies just plain stink.

I take exception to the comment that Hillary Clinton “let her husband humiliate her repeatedly and didn’t have enough backbone to kick him out.” I think it takes backbone, courage and a healthy dose of common sense to forgive, work through challenges in a marriage, heal and stay married.

Jimmy Carter may have done nice things after 1981, but as the president he was an incompetent buffoon.

I know we’re all excited by low gas prices, but this is another example of markets not working.

The BlackTop Nationals car show keeps getting smaller and smaller. I’m glad I didn’t spend more than 25 cents to park, plus there were too many Fords.

Columnist Leonard Pitts needs a psychiatric evaluation. He is the most hate-filled person on the face of the planet.

Pitts presents an insightful perspective on important issues. He helps me take a good look at current events and consider them more deeply.

Anyone familiar with Trader Joe’s stores knows this would be a great addition to downtown Wichita. Oops, I forgot – it sells liquor.
