Opinion Line Extra (Dec. 15)

Isn’t it tough for the United Divided States of America to be the leader with the JV team on the field?


One might surmise that with the lax, nonexistent gun laws we have thanks to the NRA, it supports the rights of everyone including terrorists in the U.S. to buy weapons and ammo.


After the terrorist attack in California, the first words out of Obama’s mouth were about gun control. Let’s start with the White House being a gun-free zone. His bodyguards could have stun guns and pepper spray. He should agree to this, as he would not expect more security than American citizens.


Syrian refugees will face the same vetting regime used to investigate the female San Bernardino jihadist before she entered our country. Does that make anyone feel safe?


The popularity of a guy like Donald Trump is a very real indication of how stupid and ignorant the average voter really is.

Children in the U.S. today are being taught for all intents and purposes that “government is great, government is good, let us thank it for our food.”


It is the duty of any society to show its members how to be happy using the least amount of resources, and for a long time religion helped to accomplish that.


If you stop talking about your God, so will I.


When the taxes you pay to operate your bike pay for the roads, then you can eliminate the cars.
