Opinion Line Extra (Oct. 1)

My vote will go to the presidential candidate who promises to repatriate Edward Snowden, not as a traitor but as the American hero he is. The lesson for the NSA: When both your hands are caught in the cookie jar, don’t attempt to point a finger at someone else.

If Hillary Clinton is elected president we will have gone from George “I cannot tell a lie” Washington to Hillary “I can’t even keep my lies straight” Clinton.

Because of Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and his appearance on Fox News, we now know that the real purpose of the special committee on Benghazi was solely political – first throwing mud on Obama and now doing the same with Hillary Clinton.

If you run for a government office and win, you must pledge to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Read the Constitution over carefully. Your religious beliefs may not align with the whole Constitution. You cannot pick and choose what you want to uphold.

Hey, Democrats – the government shuts down every weekend, for extended vacations and for every holiday. You don’t even notice. Our tax dollars still come in and our bills are paid. If you still want Planned Parenthood to get our money to sell babies’ body parts, you are sick.

Wow. An Opinion Line contributor believes Donald Trump could successfully run the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Postal Service. I believe he would just file bankruptcy for both agencies, send all employees home and close the doors.

The Brownback zombie apocalypse occurred on Election Day 2010, when Sam Brownback, Kris Kobach and Derek Schmidt got elected.

Dear AT&T: My thanks for the settlement check in the generous amount of 75 cents. Imagine what I can do with that much money. Maybe you could have kept it and used it to improve services. Anyway, thanks again. I’m off to buy a senior Coke at McDonald’s.

The truth finally comes out when everyone discovers the money is gone.

You said it yourself: A gun is used for protection of one’s family. Isn’t that killing someone? Funny how our military isn’t armed with screwdrivers.

Look at what is happening in Chicago and try to tell me with a straight face that stricter gun-control laws are what we need to curb gun violence. Can you gun-control idiots not see that it is the complete opposite direction to go? You just don’t get it. And never will.

To the rider complaining about paying a relatively cheap traffic fine for not having lights on his bike: Traffic laws are for both motorized and nonmotorized vehicles. You would probably be the first to gripe if you were hit by a car, or another bike, while navigating the dark streets.

I got burned (ha-ha) on the chicken breasts, too.
