Opinion Line Extra (Dec. 2)

Hard to believe, but Donald Trump has made Barry Goldwater seem like a liberal.

Maybe I do need to get a gun. Who knows whom Trump plans to come after next?

Most of those who oppose Trump being president are the same whiny people who voted for the present president and want Hillary Clinton as president. Can you trust judgment like that?

I won’t listen to or acknowledge criticism of President Obama from anyone who voted for George W. Bush.

To the people who voted for Obama: I do not want to hear from you about how bad Sam Brownback is. Can we impeach Obama? He has been a failure.

I can almost guarantee that more ecological damage was done to the environment caused by leaders who attended the global warming conference in Paris than what will be the actual benefit from the same meetings.

Some advocate disbelief in God because science can’t prove He exists. I challenge science to prove He doesn’t exist. To those who blame all ills on religion, I suggest obeying the Ten Commandments, given by God, to see how many ills suddenly disappear. True religion loves, not hates.

ISIS has promised to embed terrorists into the refugee population fleeing Syria. Neither our history nor common sense dictates we commit national suicide by taking any of these refugees into our country.

I am more afraid of trigger-happy police and their out-of-control protesters than I am of any Muslim terrorists.

The obvious reason our local television stations have three weather reports each in their 5, 6 and 10 p.m. collections of a little news and a lot of advertisements is because most Kansans don’t have windows in their houses.

Some students are already stressing over finals. It is crazy how much time students devote to their homework and school activities. Teens come to school and are tired and hungry because they are growing and need more sleep, but they are under too much pressure to get good grades.

Why is driver’s ed so expensive? Every kid wants to be able to drive, and it’s mandatory before you can get your restricted/full license. I don’t know which is going to cost more – $700 for driver’s ed or for my used car.

How does an endless commercial for Broadway musicals qualify as a parade? Please, Macy’s and the TV networks, simply broadcast the parade. The Rose Bowl parade is kicking your you-know-what.

It’s quite clear the WSU magic carpet ride is over. Gregg Marshall will be off to greener pastures next year, a decade of apathy will follow, and normalcy will return to the Kansas hoops landscape. Rock Chalk, Jayhawk.
