Opinion Line Extra (Dec. 12)

So do all those who believed Gov. Sam Brownback still think the sun is shining in Kansas? The state is in a race to join the other red states of the South at the bottom of all statistical measurements.

Brownback’s campaign slogan, “the sun is shining in Kansas,” turned out to be the budget problem train at the end of the tunnel.

You don’t make large-scale raids on state pension funds and highway funds without a lot of planning. Brownback had to know this was coming before the election, when he kept telling us the sun was shining in Kansas. Hey, Republicans – how do you spell “gullible”?

Brownback claimed during the campaign that Kansas had $400 million in the bank. He now claims he knew nothing about the shortfall, despite reports of pending budget problems. What happened to that money? Oh, wait – I guess Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer must have taken his money back.

Arrest all these “protesters” and fine them $2,000 apiece. It can be put toward all the damage they’ve done in their endless creation of victims with their violence.

Remember to call Al Sharpton and not the police whenever you have an accident, get robbed or have any other need for protection or assistance.

The Democrats’ foolish release of the report on enhanced interrogation practices is typical inane left-wing behavior. Every sane person knows that if the U.S. adheres to accepted, passive tactics, we’ll be the only side that does. One beheading video is enough to throw out all the rules banning torture.

Hillary Clinton’s latest definition of what she calls “smart power” further proves that she remains just as caustic as Nancy Pelosi, just as arrogant as Barack Obama and just as deceitful as Jonathan Gruber.

Jonathan Gruber said Americans are stupid. He was right on. They elected Obama twice.

Once again I saw the picture of Obama and Clinton in the situation room when Osama bin Laden was killed. Strange there are no pictures of them there when sovereign U.S. soil was invaded in Libya and four U.S. citizens were murdered.

Bill Clinton lied about Monica Lewinsky and was impeached. George W. Bush lied about Iraq and nothing was ever said. Go figure.

The American Indians are not illegal aliens. They were here long before the United States was created and established laws. The illegals sneaking across the border are in violation of the law. I have cousins waiting in line to legally to enter this country. The illegals can wait in line.

It is not an intelligent decision to let political ads be the deciding factor in your voting. But it’s not intelligent to let Fox News be your only “news” source either.
