Opinion Line Extra (Nov. 26)

How many people from south of our border are going to die trying to cross the border just because Obama opened his mouth Thursday night? Obama talks, people die.

For thousands of years, millions of Mexicans have been able to work, thrive and raise their kids in Mexico. The U.S. is home to 10 million who couldn’t – every one of them taking either the job or benefits of a legal American. What a disgrace. Impeach Obama.

When did the lust for money and total disrespect for the president of the United States become the GOP’s priorities instead of the will of the people?

If you ever voted for Obama, you have proved you don’t believe in democracy.

What to think about a state whose voters persist in re-electing proven failures like Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts?

The governor and all his radical right cronies should Google the definition of the word “draconian” so they’ll know what it means when it’s used by most everyone over and over in the coming years to describe the radical right’s effect on our state and our lives.

A recent study by Old Dominion University found that 6.4 percent of U.S. illegal aliens voted in the 2008 national election. The Kansas secretary of state is absolutely right in enforcing the provision for proof of citizenship. I know some of you folks like to pick and choose what laws to obey, but this one is a no-brainer.

This is from one Republican who is very embarrassed by Speaker Ray Merrick’s comments about state employees. We can do better, but I’m not hopeful we will. Are there no moderate members of our party in Kansas?

After what Brownback and Kobach have done to this state, and now the unbelievable comments of our House speaker, is it any wonder people will seriously avoid finding work here? Talk about a brain drain.

Toyota is coming out with a new car that will be powered by hydrogen gas. Word is that they are going to call it the Hindenburg.

Hey, guys and gals: Gas prices are down, so it’s time to go out and by some big car – that you probably can’t afford. Then, when gas prices start climbing again – which they’re sure to do – you’ll have something to whine about.

I am not afraid of fictional zombies. I am, however, terrified of real live idiots out on the roadways who lack any indication of brains – people who are driving in fog and rain without turning on their vehicle headlights or who are driving with parking lights only. Thanks, Wichita police.
