Opinion Line Extra (March 29)

Both Donald Trump and John Kasich backed out of a Republican debate because they were afraid to debate Ted Cruz. Ted would destroy both of them.

Black Americans should certainly be for stopping illegal immigration, bringing jobs back from China and Mexico, charter schools, and rebuilding our infrastructure. Black Americans should be for Trump.

Little wonder Trump and Cruz are against Common Core, since they also love the less educated.

GOP leaders don’t like Trump because he won’t take orders. As the patriarch of the Republican Party, Wall Street wants a company man. Trump’s bigotry, misogyny and hatred of the poor have nothing to do with Trump’s disfavor. These are actually prominent parts of the party platform.

Trump supporters: Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.

For those of you who are curious how an emergency room functions, attend a Trump rally.

For the longest time, several friends and I have tried to figure where in the world Hillary Clinton got her hideous wardrobe. It finally struck me the other day. She has the same tailor as the late Mao Zedong (chairman of the Chinese communist party). Gee, if the “suit fits.”

While working on federal income taxes, I saw the president, first lady and their daughters on TV exiting the plane in Cuba. The next person was Michelle’s mother. Why was Michelle’s mother flying on an aircraft funded by U.S. taxpayers? Is she still living at the White House using taxpayer funds?

According to an Eagle story from the New York Times, opposition to Castro’s government was “one of the political thickets Obama will have to navigate.” I’d like to see anyone attempt to navigate a thicket.

If Republican policies work, why are most Southern states the poorest in the country?

The ACLU was founded as our nation’s guardian of liberty. The ACLU works in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to all people in this country by the Constitution and the laws of the USA. It is not a terrorist organization.

Someone claimed the notion of “separation of church and state” is constitutionally unfounded but then proposed “prevention of governmental interference in religion” as an alternative. This is also unfounded and only half right. The establishment clause means government should stay out of the religion business altogether.

Here’s an idea for a T-shirt for Shocker Nation (established 2012): “Impressive stats piled up playing in a very weak league. Oh, we upset KU.”
