Opinion Line Extra (Sept. 17)

The California wildfires are small potatoes compared with what North Korea, Russia and Iran are planning to do to us.

You can’t blame Mitch McConnell for scheduling repeated votes on the Iran nuclear disarmament deal. People in his state are known to attempt the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome.

Anyone remember John McCain or Mitt Romney? The Democratic Party called them too old. What about the Democrats of today? Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders? Choose wisely. Maybe the good doctor is the wise choice.

I read in the Opinion Line how Hillary Clinton was the most qualified person running for president: Folks, this is indicative of the same low expectations of our country of the people who elected her husband as president and the sitting president.

It’s no wonder the Middle East is in such a mess. Hillary Clinton was left out of all important communications during her term as secretary of state. No one trusted her with classified e-mails, and nothing she had to say was important enough to classify.

Yes, the numbers issued by the government show that unemployment is down. However, they no longer count the people who have stopped looking for work, which would take the actual number to well over 10 percent.

To the person who said liberals have “zero guts”: I served in the military for 10 years. How many years did you serve? Or are you just another conservative coward?

I voted twice for President Obama. A reader suggested I not vote in 2016. Only an arrogant elitist would tell me I should not vote in the next presidential election simply because I voted differently than he did.

True, much of academia votes Democrat. But most of the uninformed, who for instance can’t even name the vice president or their own congressional representatives, also vote Democrat.

Perhaps WuShock and Donald Trump were separated at birth? Talk about a skeleton in your closet. I feel so embarrassed for Wu.

There is no resemblance between Donald Trump and WuShock. What an insult.

The only thing more worthless than sending a TV reporter to an accident or crime scene blocks away from the camera is to send a TV reporter to an accident or crime scene blocks away from the camera at night.

To someone whose wife saved “$120-plus on taxes by going to Oklahoma and buying cigarettes and gas”: How much does your wife spend on gas to drive to Oklahoma to buy gas and cigarettes?

Just how much packaged cancer did the wife buy and how big is that gas tank?

While we are on the subject of punctuation, what about some protection against the ever-growing misuse of the apostrophe? The apostrophe is to indicate ownership, not to create plurals, such as “TV’s.”
