Opinion Line Extra (Nov. 26)

Since conservatives are now in full overreaction mode concerning the Syrian refugees, I guess we should also stop all gun sales in the USA. We don’t want to make it too easy for a terrorist to get a gun. Better safe than sorry, right?

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Refugees. “Well, there’s no room at the inn,” said the Christians.

The attacks in Paris and around the world were truly devastating. The United States and other powerful countries need to combine their forces and take out ISIS for good. When will the body count be high enough for people to listen?

“Common sense” is but a meaningless catchphrase. Who exactly determines what is “common sense”? Liberals, of course. It’s liberal code for “whatever we say, peasants.” Don’t you all know by now that liberals know better than the rest of us what’s good for us all?

I hold contempt toward nearly all liberal thinking because liberals believe that everything I have worked for should be distributed to everyone, no matter how undeserving.

I’ll bet you Republicans are really proud of Gov. Sam Brownback breaking our backs and putting this state millions in the hole and raising taxes.

As stockholders of this great state of Kansas, we need to have a special stockholders meeting and oust our CEO before our stock drops any further in value.

I will vote for the politicians who promise to fight to get Citizens United overturned and get the money out of politics.

One should not confuse systems of governance with capitalism. They are two different things, but are interdependent. And the constant upward and outward thrust of our democracy was never meant to make people equal, but to provide equal opportunity and equality under law.

Thanking the president for Obamacare is misdirected. Thank the taxpayer who pays for your Obamacare.

After 30 years in Wichita law enforcement, I can say with certainty that about one-third of drivers on the road have neither a valid driver’s license nor insurance.

I’m tired of my vehicle insurance being higher than necessary because of the mental midgets who somehow think it is OK for them to have their limited brain function hampered further by texting or talking on a cellphone while they “drive” a vehicle.

Teenage drivers should take the no-texting law more seriously. I don’t care if you are texting the president, you should pay attention to the road. The president can wait.

Using technology every day has become a priority for children ages 10 and older. Parents need to realize this can affect their school performance and social life.

To the person who asked, “Is there anything more boring than listening to people talk about their health problems and their aches and pains?”: NASCAR.
