Opinion Line (Nov. 3)

It’s always funny to see the hateful rhetoric coming from the unions until they realize they are powerless and have no choice but to cave to the needs of the business.

Notice that the far right is no longer being called the “Christian right”? Lots of moderate and liberal Christians (yes, we exist) have noticed that Christ got left behind. The Bible clearly says to welcome the sojourner, and Jesus was a champion of the poor and cast-offs of society.

Why is the singing of “God Bless America” at baseball games still allowed in our country? I’m surprised this tradition has not been attacked yet, like other “God” references in public. Only a matter of time.

We have a gang database? OK, Legislature. Let’s make some laws to round ’em up and lock ’em up. Where are Eliot Ness and the Untouchables when you need them?

It appears there is a possibility of a Bush 3. I wonder what war he will start.

Sarah Palin would have been a far better president than Barack Obama.

It’s clear New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has no desire to be president. He wants to be a dictator. I think it’s time for him to “sit down and shut up.”

I propose that we build a stockade in every city of this country. Then politicians caught after this election not working to serve the constituents should be placed in said stockade until they remember their purpose. And it is not just to get re-elected.

The robocalls are going to drive me postal. They should be against the law. I won’t vote for anyone making the calls.

Is it possible that whoever is behind the disgusting political attack ads is also responsible for the Viagra ads?

Can we please time-travel to the day after the election?

Thank goodness for PBS: no political commercials, excellent programing.

I’d rather have a zombie apocalypse than this election.

I would like to know why some clerks and waiters never reply with “you’re welcome” when they’re given a “thank you.” Instead they say, “no problem.” It can be most annoying.

The only way to improve Opinion Line would be to post videos on The Eagle website of local senior citizens reading the comments, like Jimmy Kimmel does with mean tweets. Try imagining that as you read Opinion Line. Bet you’ll laugh out loud more than once.
