Opinion Line Extra (Nov. 13)

Do Republicans really want a president who doesn’t know who built the pyramids?

Every time he speaks, it makes me wonder if Ben Carson ever performed brain surgery on himself.

I wonder at the mental disconnect it takes to defend Barack Obama and yet claim Ben Carson has “truthfulness issues.”

Hillary Clinton has exhibited poor judgment and little integrity. She flip-flops on any point that she thinks will get her elected. The lack of truthfulness and some of the issues surrounding the Clintons’ financial dealings are disturbing. We can do better.

It’s not that the CNBC moderators asked tough questions. It’s that they asked stupid questions The Republican candidates showed remarkable strength and determination in refusing to respond to such condescending drivel.

If you think Trump looks silly in a ball cap, you must have been rolling on the floor seeing Obama in granny jeans throwing a baseball or Obama on the bicycle looking like a giraffe wearing a safety helmet. And Mike Dukakis in the tank or John Kerry windsurfing?

Why is it that when anyone disagrees with anyone about anything, it’s called “intolerance”? It’s not intolerant for a parent to want a heads-up when their child is going to be shown a film where a kid slits her wrists.

And I asked myself, “What do Lawrence and Kansas City have that Wichita does not?” And then I thought, “With more time, the sun will be shining on all of Kansas.” So I bought more suntan lotion again. When it happens, I’ll be ready.

Democrats are not dealing with reality. Not one thing any of the well-known ones have suggested about additional gun controls would stop any gun violence. I’d have more respect for them if they were honest and just admitted they hate the Second Amendment.

I am going to get in my gun and go for a ride, and kill someone. To make a comparison between a gun and a car is absurd.

I love the irony of all the gun nuts sarcastically stating how dangerous cars are and that we should ban them. Funny part about it is, cars are registered and drivers are insured and trained on how to operate them.

Hey, meathead kids: If you exercised your minds as much as you do your mouths, attitudes and physiques, you’d be formidable. As it stands, you’re just punks.

There is a kitchen on the west side, my kitchen, where I make perfect scrambled eggs with ham, onion, bell pepper and shredded cheese. Best of all is the convenience of my kitchen, open 24 hours per day. Wish I could invite you all over.
