Opinion Line Extra (Dec. 24)

True story: I just made a new friend named Mohammed. Don’t tell County Commissioners Richard Ranzau and Karl Peterjohn. I wouldn’t want them to be scared and flee Wichita. Or maybe that would be a good thing.

Saying all Muslims are bad is like what Hitler said about all Jews. Do you want that kind of country?

Good manners and politeness are not other names for political correctness. PC is thought control and the unabashed stomping of First Amendment rights, pure and simple, and it’s completely out of control.

I thought the official language of the United States was money. Who cares if you speak English? Real capitalists sure don’t.

The real veterans are the ones who were in actual combat on the ground, not the ones in the rear with the gear. You so-called vets make me and my combat buddies sick.

Another Hillary Clinton debate, another month of her attempting to cover the “mistruths” stated there.

Columnist Cal Thomas called Bernie Sanders’ comment about climate change affecting Syria “moronic” (Dec. 9 Opinion). Syria has had four years of drought, linked to warming, reducing crops and forcing people into cities. The Thomas column is too much Opinion Line and not enough expert analysis.

Someone was wondering how people can be that blind to support Donald Trump. I may ask the same of you: How many people could’ve been that blind to have elected the current president twice?

So Gov. Sam Brownback is still unshakable about his tax cuts being a good thing for Kansas. I wonder if it is the same person who is telling him that fracking has nothing to do with increased earthquakes in Kansas.

The so-called conservative Republican tea party is the biggest swindle game ever pulled off, and so many voters believe the con artists are reducing their taxes. Just goes to show a large percentage of Republican voters lack education and are easily being taken advantage of.

Charles Krauthammer’s picture on his column (Dec. 19 Opinion) makes him look like he could be a resident of “Whoville.” Maybe even the mayor.

There is one TV channel and many talk radio shows that will be stunned into silence if there is a GOP win for White House. Their silence will be golden.

They used to refer to all of these personal injury lawyers as “ambulance chasers.” I still do.

I see that Bill Cosby has filed a countersuit against some women claiming they were trying character assassination. It’s hard to assassinate your character when you have none.

Thank you, Eagle, for the more difficult crossword puzzles. The old ones were so easy they were boring.
