Opinion Line (Dec. 16)

All police officers should go on strike, and let the protesters deal with what they have to deal with every day.

My house got broken into. I called a protester to check it out and they stole my TV.

The people in Ferguson, Mo., and New York City wanted justice, and both grand juries did that. They might not like the outcome, but justice was served. Don’t blame law enforcement for doing its job.

Gov. Sam Brownback is robbing the future (budget cuts and highway fund transfers to the general fund) to pay for the Legislature’s and his mistakes.

Kansas doesn’t have a spending problem. The problem is revenue. If my family had a huge debt, I would get a part-time job on top of my full-time job. It doesn’t take a genius to figure this one out.

If you can’t feed and clothe your children, then don’t have any more.

Taking a lesson from the Sandy Hook anti-gun nuts, the next time I’m in an accident I’m going to sue the manufacturer of the other person’s vehicle, because that man-made tool was obviously the cause of the accident.

Hey, Dick Cheney: If your torture worked so well, why have we lost Iraq and Afghanistan, and why is al-Qaida stronger than ever?

Shorter Dick Cheney: Believe me, not the facts.

Since Cheney is such an advocate of waterboarding, I suggest he be treated to waterboarding for a minimum of 180 days. He should then be sent to the Netherlands to be tried for war crimes, along with George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld.

The way you know that enhanced interrogation techniques were legal and moral is that the Obama administration hasn’t brought any charges. It will even go blow up terrorists with drones with no due process.

It’s apparent that the Republican congressional leaders want both Obamacare and residency for illegal immigrants to proceed. The results of the recent elections mean nothing to them.

Having Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton on a primary ballot would be like having the choice between the electric chair or a firing squad.

I am unable to determine which poses the greatest threat this time of year – driving the streets of Wichita or pushing a shopping cart in a local supermarket.

We enjoyed getting in the Christmas spirit by attending “A Christmas Carol” at the Forum Theatre’s beautiful new home at the Wichita Scottish Rite Center.
