Opinion Line Extra (Jan. 11)

There must be more Democratic voters in Wichita than I thought. They’re the ones driving in the rain without their lights on.

The people who whine about the weather not turning out exactly as predicted would be better off using their time to learn how to predict it themselves. Then maybe they would understand how difficult that is.

I applaud Rep. Mike Pompeo’s recent passionate comments in support of not unlawfully infringing on Americans’ right to bear arms (Second Amendment). I only wish he were at least half as concerned about everyone’s right to privacy (Fourth Amendment).

All the gun laws in the world will not keep criminals from obtaining guns. Period.

The president is wrong. Saving one life is not worth trampling the Second Amendment rights of 315 million law-abiding Americans.

How many onions did Obama cut up before his fake tears came dripping out? When you are sad, more than three tears run out. He paused at the camera to show them. I wish he worried about his wasteful spending as much as global warming and gun control.

Those callous Republicans accuse Obama of being insincere about the killing of children. Obama had to visit with the parents of those slain children. I wonder if the Republicans could keep tears from flowing if they had to face what Obama did. I suspect they could.

If Obama and Democrats no longer believe the Constitution applies, there is a prescribed method to change it. Executive fiat is not that method. That is the way of tyrannical dictators, not an executive branch of a government with restricted powers.

If Donald Trump truly were a Christian, which I doubt, his support would probably double. Many of us will never vote Democrat because of their support for abortion and gay and lesbian marriage. I still hope he beats Hillary Clinton in a landslide.

I’d love to pay my property taxes on time, but all my money goes to paying the way for others who can well afford to pay their own way. When will they run out of other people’s money?

Everyone wants to be rich, some by earning it and others by only holding their hand out.

Have you seen the long lines of women at the recruiting stations since the ruling that women could serve in combat? They talk the talk but don’t look to walk the walk. I thought they would jump at the chance to kill men.

Trusting the governor and Legislature to properly finance the K-12 school system is like trusting a burglar to not trash your house looking for things to steal. It’s about stealing funds to give to private schools, by underfunding school financing and teacher salaries.
