Opinion Line (Feb. 20)

Republicans act like they’re tough guys and call liberals “wimps,” because deep down they’re afraid. Deeply afraid of everything. Afraid of their own shadows.

When hypocrisy becomes an Olympic sport, I am going to bet the house, the truck and the dog on all the Democrat contestants.

Hillary Clinton has played the gender card, the victim card, the race card, the “it’s my turn” card and now the big one, the barking dog card. Makes you wonder what else she has up her sleeve.

Hillary, Hillary dock. The time is running out on your clock. Laughing at an investigation hearing, barking like a dog on stage, and having convenient coughing spells.

Pope Francis said that a person who thinks only about building walls is not Christian. Doesn’t the Vatican have a wall around it? And guards?

The pope said Donald Trump isn’t a Christian. I thought Christians weren’t perfect either, like all of us, except they get to ask for forgiveness and are forgiven. Therefore Trump is a Christian, because he professes to be. He just needs our compassion, help and forgiveness.

If Bernie Sanders were to become president, it wouldn’t be much different from what we have with our current socialist president.

Dear columnist Cal Thomas: If Clinton and Sanders are channeling Robin Hood (Feb. 17 Opinion), then the entirety of the GOP presidential hopefuls are channeling the sheriff of Nottingham.

Bummer. Just when I was considering Marco Rubio for president, Gov. Sam Brownback endorses him. I now need to rethink my options. Brownback hasn’t made good choices for Kansas. I doubt he could choose a good president.

Do any of Rubio’s fans actually listen to the things he espouses? And now he’s got Brownback – destroyer of Kansas – endorsing him. This isn’t the country I’ve always loved in my 77 years.

If you want the whole world to know your problems, go to a therapist. Many of them are blabbermouths, and have more problems than their patients.

I support reduced speed limits in construction zones, but I also support actual construction in construction zones. Crews around 13th and Tyler set out cones during morning traffic. Then nothing is done all day. The random 50 mph section on West Kellogg is the same way.

I am thinking of getting one of those DNA tests to check my ancestral background. As much as I sleep during the winter, I have to be part bear.

If the media would quit giving Kanye West an open mic, his five minutes of fame would have been over a long time ago.
