Opinion Line (April 9)

Is the foreign press covering the United States’ presidential campaign with fear, disdain or unbridled humor?

This thing about delegates, either for the conservatives or the socialists, reeks with fraud, as does the Electoral College. Let’s count who receives the most votes. Let that determine the winners.

Hillary Clinton’s record is of zero accomplishments, substantial incompetence and much corruption. She has a minimal lead over Sanders in popular votes, yet most of the “superdelegates” are committed to her. The Democrat Party is undemocratic and corrupt.

I plan on recording the entire GOP convention since the selection of decent war movies on Netflix is lacking.

Since Donald Trump started his campaign, at least three large companies have sent jobs out of the U.S. or, like Ford, announced a new factory in Mexico. Any other candidate would do nothing about it, as they have for years, and that’s why he should be president.

Liberals love it when Bernie Sanders says he is going to break up the banks. What does that even mean? Do away with them? Or make 10 smaller banks out of one? What is that going to help? Nobody forces you to use a bank.

People should be thinking more about the futures of their own children than those of border jumpers and refugees.

Today’s real welfare queens? Members of Congress, who aren’t much on taking care of the nation’s business but collect their paychecks on a regular basis. Let’s take a “no work, no pay” posture with them. See if that motivates them to act on a Supreme Court nominee.

My church is getting a new preacher. I hope that Rep. Mike Pompeo will approve.

That local pastors would defend the Islamic Society of Wichita’s speaker choice is disturbing. I thank Pompeo for his vigilance.

Just once I’d like to put my clothes out to dry on the line in Butler County and not have them come back smelling like creosote, chimney smoke, charcoal starter, barbecue or prairie fire.

Someone commented that “the general public wants alcohol and food kept separate.” Isn’t most alcohol consumed with food? I’d like to make one stop to buy them both.

How far has this once-great country deteriorated when I walk into a national retail clothing store and am told they don’t carry the everyday, ordinary jeans I want but that I “can go online and order them.” A clothing store, without clothes!

With all the cases in the news of “boyfriends” charged with abusing women and their children, we need a constitutional ban on boyfriends.

What they call country music today is worthless. Real country music died with Merle Haggard.
