Opinion Line Extra (Dec. 17)

Frack, baby, frack. I sure like these lower gas prices. Baby earthquakes are a small price to pay for money for food and other needs.

Do you remember Al Capp? He coined SWINE – Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything.

A lady from Brooklyn, N.Y., age 116, is the oldest person in the world. She was born in July 1899. A lady in Italy was born four months later. They are the last two people who were born in the 1800s out of 7 billion people. Time marches on.

I grew up thinking we Americans were better than the people who hated us. Now I find out we are just as bad, if not worse.

Is it legal to fire President Obama and get someone in there who actually gives a darn about national security?

We have a reader who thinks Obama should stop dropping bombs (Dec. 11 Letters to the Editor). Not a problem – according to the Internet, we are running out of bombs. Guess we could drop rocks. Probably appropriate for a culture that wants to take the world back to the seventh century.

The school district of Los Angeles canceled classes Tuesday because of an “electronic” threat received. Is that any less knee-jerk than Donald Trump’s statement about halting Muslim immigration temporarily? Both are warranted, and you politically correct crazies know it.

Good old Sarah Palin – sometimes she’s right in spite of herself. A reporter asked for her one- or two-word responses to some key political terms. Her reply to Trump: “gold-plated.” Unwittingly, she nailed it – all glitz and show on the outside, but once you get past that, nothing but pot metal.

Both Donald Trump’s big mouth postulations and his policies are ludicrous. But the only thing that distinguishes him from all the other Republican candidates and, for that matter, most Republicans is his big mouth.

Where are all the birthers who said Barack Obama could not be president because he was not born here? Ted Cruz was born in Canada.

Bob Dole says Ted Cruz is radical. If he is, I sure wish there were a few more like him in Congress.

Obama and his Marxism have successfully transformed our country in seven years. Are you liking it yet?

A vote for Jeb Bush is another vote for corporate America. All the Bush family are for corporate America, as are the Clintons and Obama. Corporate America is wiping out the middle class in this country.

Ben Carson: If the news media can’t say something bad, they don’t say anything.

I watched a female African-American commentator on MSNBC state that the early “Star Wars” movies were racist. Really? I mean, really?
