Opinion Line (Nov. 12)

I protest the resignations of the University of Missouri president and chancellor. It is a slippery slope when the tail wags the dog. There will be no end in sight.

Didn’t the Missouri president learn anything from Ronald Reagan? He should have told the striking football players that they had 24 hours to return to the field, or their scholarships would be revoked and they would have to pay for their own room, board, books and tuition.

Isn’t it interesting that liberal college campuses filled with liberal students, liberal professors and liberal staff always seem to have more racial strife and unrest than anywhere else?

Some alleged Christians want to boycott Starbucks because it is using plain red cups this holiday season. This is probably the same group that thinks President Obama is a Muslim. And you wonder why Christians are getting a bad name?

If the Republicans plan to run on a platform of “wages are too high,” then they will lose and lose big.

I would surely like to hear Democratic presidential candidates answer the same questions that the Fox Business Network moderators asked the Republicans.

Kansas Speaks survey box score: Kansas, 82; Sam Brownback, 18. Irony: Kansas lost.

Kathleen Sebelius made many mistakes as Kansas governor. Her biggest mistake was appointing Lee Johnson to the Kansas Supreme Court.

Let’s privatize the Sedgwick County Commission.

County Commission Chairman Richard Ranzau doesn’t think a public bus system is necessary. Let them walk if they can’t afford a car, I guess. Does he really think a private company would operate a bus system in this city without a big subsidy?

We can pay to pave Sedgwick County parks, roads and bike paths but not my street?

All the freshly painted stripes on Wichita’s deteriorating streets bring to mind Sarah Palin and her “lipstick on a pig” reference.

So who’s the genius who decided to put the new power line poles right in the middle of the sidewalk on North Tyler?

It would be nice if columnist Cal Thomas, and all the other denigrators of concern about global warming, would actually read some climate science rather than politicizing it. Half of Canadians were against the Keystone XL pipeline, too.

I study. I read. How could an informed, reasonably intelligent individual not accept that there is global warming?

What if climate change really is a hoax and we create a better world for nothing?

Does anyone know of an employer that actually properly honors its veterans by giving them the day off paid?
