Opinion Line Extra (March 25)

Donald Trump is the only presidential candidate who is talking about stopping Muslim terrorism. Hillary Clinton is soft on terrorism.

In the United States, political correctness kills the First Amendment. In Brussels and Paris, it kills their citizens.

According to our president, the Belgium bombers were just attackers. It is time he called it like it is. They were terrorists.

After the terrorist attack in Europe, I’m glad the president could take 51 seconds out of his day to condemn the attack before heading off to a baseball game.

We need to help Christians and other religious minorities persecuted by ISIS reclaim not only their faith but their lives. Congress and the American people have spoken, and now call on the president to work with our allies to eliminate ISIS and put an end to its horrific acts.

“Why Trump doesn’t think he’s dishonest” (March 22 Opinion): another brilliant opinion piece by Davis Merritt. Thank you.

Davis Merritt’s opinion about Donald Trump was spot-on.

It is imperative that someone stop Donald Trump as soon as possible. His attack on political correctness is outrageous and dangerous, because if we lose political correctness we lose the country. The right to not be offended is critical to maintaining fairness and equality of all citizens.

Republicans complaining about protests at Trump rallies need to remember that only a few years ago, they engaged in the same behavior when their tea party supporters disrupted town hall meetings across the country complaining about Obamacare.

My religion (Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) believes that government should not impede my freedom of movement. Therefore, the Supreme Court should remove all traffic control devices.

After reading about all the cheap tricks our politicians are using to avoid adequately funding schools, I thought: They are cheating the children who will be running our country in a few years. Have they no children of their own? Then I realized their children can afford to go to private schools.

As a WAC who served in the 1970s, I congratulate Kathryn Wilson Schroeder on the recognition she so richly deserves. She was a beautiful woman in 1943 and even more beautiful to step up when her country needed her. I feel honored to be part of a legacy started by women like her.

In the March 22 Opinion Line there was another person crowing about the bike paths in the downtown area of our city. My wife and I are not bikers, but my suggestion to that frustrated reader is to learn what the laws are and adapt.
