Opinion Line Extra (Oct. 13)

No surprise that President Obama’s “organizing” of the Middle East turned out the same way as his organizing of South Chicago.


I wonder if ISIS got fleet pricing on the new Japanese-engineered Toyota pickups they are using. And can anyone figure out who made their new white tennis shoes? I want to buy some.


All the Republicans’ horses and all the Republicans’ men can’t put the multimillion-dollar congressional take-down-Hillary Benghazi hearings back together again. Everyone knew the committee was politically motivated. All it took to crack the egg was for one numbskull Republican to brag about how successful they’ve been.


The donor’s wish was that WSU’s Grace Memorial Chapel be open to all races and religions. Just because you buy season tickets to the WSU ballgames or are an alum does not give you the privilege of overriding her intentions.


The WSU chapel donors wouldn’t have made the building as a Christian chapel if they meant for it to accommodate Muslims. Nothing Christian is sacred when liberals are involved.


I am sure the donor who funded this chapel did not intend it be designed for all religions. Our church welcomes all religions, but we are not going to put out prayer rugs and such. This is America. Be proud of what it represents – freedom for all.


I only hope Oklahoma City will remember, after removing God’s Ten Commandments from the Capitol grounds, that it was God whom they asked us and the rest of the world to pray to when they were bombed back in the 1990s. My, times have changed.


Gov. Sam Brownback’s migration plan is working. We’re moving out of the state to a place that isn’t so mean.


Brownback’s spokeswoman said expanding Medicaid would be “morally reprehensible.” What kind of bizarro world do these people live in?


Providing health care to 150,000 low-income Kansans is morally reprehensible? How low can the Governor’s Office get?


Radical conservatives in Kansas are nothing more than stubborn weeds that refuse to yield. Our next governor will have to clean up their mess with an herbicide that not only works but works fast.


Conservatives don’t have to “compromise” their integrity. They don’t have any. They can’t even compromise with themselves. What are they – split into five or just four factions because they can’t even get along with each other?


Gray areas in decision-making don’t result from liberal plots. Rather, they occur when civilization acquires new knowledge. Such knowledge adds complexity and required reassessment in order to ensure that current understanding still applies.


Wichita taxi drivers now have to take classes in promoting Wichita to their clients. Will it be the same for Uber drivers?


Thursday-night TV shows are an absolute wasteland. Pitiful.
