Opinion Line Extra (Sept. 22)

The TSA is so consumed with checking passengers for thumbtacks and paper clips it often misses the ones with swords and machetes.


I would bet that none of the critics of the Fair Tax plan has bothered to read the books by Neal Boortz.


Politicians, like Harley-Davidson motorcycles, make lots of noise for no apparent reason, and are slow to go nowhere.


The Democratic Party continues to buy the American vote. How can this continue to work? If you pay taxes, it’s your money they are using to buy votes. If you don’t pay taxes, I can understand why you want more entitlements and don’t want to give up any already existing.


How well did our peace accord with North Vietnam work? Or Clinton’s anti-nukes pact with North Korea? What about our suspension of hostilities agreement with Saddam Hussein? Likewise, Obama’s nuclear deal with the Iranian tyrants is dangerous.


Goodbye, Donald Trump. Trump will create division. We need a leader who will unite people.


I think less of a political party that demands a candidate for president pledge allegiance to it, and then the party itself and the other candidates try to destroy that candidate. And, yes, I am a Republican.


I would love to see a debate between Carly Fiorina and Hillary Clinton and watch Carly rip Hillary’s head off. Carly has more class in her little finger than Hillary has in her huge pantsuit body.


More than half of Trump’s support comes from those who believe that Obama is a Muslim and not an American. Then some Republicans criticize those who voted for Obama. They need to stop and take a serious look in the mirror.


Earthquakes in odd places, homosexuality, signs in the heavens, prosecution of Christians – and add Russia joining the fight in Syria to the things the Bible said would happen in the end-time. It’s not too late to repent of your sin and believe the truth that Christ died for you and is the Son of God.


Upon receiving our statement from Westar Energy, I see why it needed the increase in our electric rate. It’s redesigning the statements so we can read and understand them.


Has anyone else noticed how the local on-site TV reporters use the word “actually” in their reports? Why?


I’m satisfied with the picture quality on my TV. But with Cox going to digital-only format, if I want to watch TV I have to pay an extra $1.98 a month for a “mini box.” Do they sit around all day thinking of ways to squeeze more money out of people?


I love KNSS 1330-AM. They bill themselves as “news radio,” but I’m constantly having my news and top-notch talk shows pre-empted by sports. Good night, nurse. Enough with the sports. Don’t. Care.
