Opinion Line Extra (Oct. 15)

I’ve had cause to do more traveling on Kellogg lately. I fear for my life when I see how many people, usually younger females, are flying along at 65 mph constantly looking up and down between the road and their phone.

Thank God – and KDOT – for finally getting started on the fix of the interchange at 1-235 and Kellogg. I wondered how many more trucks were going to end up on their sides negotiating that nutty hairpin turn one has to enter from the eastbound lane before this got done.

When will the price-gouging investigation start in Kansas? We here in Kansas deserve the same gas price as in Oklahoma. The price of oil is historically low, and will not remain that way forever. Someone has been allowing us to be overcharged for a while now.

You can almost hear the screams of pain as health insurance premiums are raised each year. This is all part of the master plan. The premiums will get so high we beg for help, and then the answer to all our problems will be provided: single-payer insurance.

Kathleen Sebelius is the reason we have such a low-quality Kansas Supreme Court. She made bad appointments to the court.

Instead of doing nothing after yet-another tragic massacre, let’s try a little of both solutions. I’d be willing to let more people carry more guns in more places if we would manage them with the same restrictions as owning a vehicle.

If you really have “Christian values,” moving an altar for a Muslim prayer rug should not bother you and should not affect your own praying or religious activities. You do not require an altar for these things.

The Republicans have gotten so mean and hateful that they don’t even like each other anymore.

The reason there is a teacher shortage in Kansas lies at the feet of Republican legislators, the horribly anti-public school governor and the minions of our anti-public school local billionaire’s political “persuasion” organizations. If all you do is put down teachers, you have created a hostile environment.

Ever since Kevin McCarthy let the Benghazi cat out of the bag, it sure has been entertaining watching the Republicans running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to catch that cat and get it back in that bag. Don’t they know you can’t un-ring a bell?

If you believe that Planned Parenthood is anything but a dishonorable, dishonest and despicable organization, to its very core, then I feel sorry for you. You are lost for sure.
