Opinion Line Extra (Nov. 5)

What people need to realize is that unless it actually inhibits you from exercising your religion or lack thereof, it’s the right of the people to exercise their religion, or lack thereof. You have no right to stop them, only the right to disagree.

Have you noticed cops on “Cops” appear to think of themselves as above the law when they fail to use seat belts? Watch and judge for yourself. Are they good role models or not?

I was ready to vote “yes” on the sales tax increase until I read how many unions were endorsing it.

Advantage of moving our clocks back an hour: an additional hour for political ads on TV.

Just like with telemarketers, there should be a national no-call registry to block political phone campaigns. My vote goes to those who do not call me.

What I don’t understand is how the Republican Party has managed to convince many of the poor and uneducated that it is working in their best interests. Taxation and social services advocated for by the Democrats are for the poor.

One would think that Democrat voters would finally catch on that Democrat politicians trash-talk business, raise their taxes and increase regulation costs, then claim they can bring back a good economy. That’s impossible.

Medicare allows prescriptions to be filled up to 32 days after a patient’s death. Maybe that is done in case they need to vote.

Obama again is pushing Medicare to pay doctors for counseling patients about their end-of-life care. You Democrats really think this man cares about you? No, only your vote matters to him. He cares about himself and golf, and that’s about all.

Who is for the country and the American people? The Democrats expanded health care for millions. The Republicans voted to repeal it 50-plus times and offer no alternative. Obama pulled the country out of a Great Recession. Republicans vote against raising minimum wage.

Bill Snyder, good guy he is, allowed himself to be somewhat duped into endorsing his supposed friend Pat Roberts. Snyder’s mistake was not realizing you have to watch your back anytime you associate with a desperate politician the likes of Roberts.

Hey, Pat Roberts: Pace Picante Sauce just called. They want their commercial back.

So the liberal-leaning newspaper in the liberal bastion hometown of the liberal Democrat running for governor endorsed both Gov. Sam Brownback and Sen. Pat Roberts? This is huge.

Left-wing extremism is alive and well in the media. MSNBC has the cartoonlike character Al Sharpton. The Wichita Eagle has the cartoon sketcher Richard Crowson.

To the lowlife who stole the angel from a sweet baby’s tiny grave at Lakeview Cemetery: Shame on you. I hope God will judge you harshly.
