Opinion Line Extra (April 13)

Only in our government could the post office lose $5.1 billion annually and reduce the price of stamps from 49 to 47 cents. They obviously missed every math and economics class ever offered.

Can you imagine the importance of a governor being challenged by an affair (Alabama), but not one being challenged by his state’s possible bankruptcy (Kansas)?

A “quick-fix” education spending bill done in 48 hours, though Brownback and his legislative cronies had known it was needed for 42 days. Then the Legislature took a month break. The best break for Kansans is to vote these do-nothing mouthpieces out of office.

Voting for someone based on their color or gender is racist or sexist, just as voting against someone based on color or gender is racist or sexist.

Trump said he would eliminate the EPA, calling it the “Department of Environmental,” or “DEP.” I suggest he take that agency’s funding and transfer it to his newly created “Department of I Am So Smart,” so that resources can be spent tutoring him on how our government works.

Trump haters are the only reason you need to vote Trump 2016.

Hillary says Bernie’s proposals will never get past Congress. I guess fear of failure has made Hillary the type who surrenders before the battle’s begun. Has she never heard the saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again”?

Hillary Clinton believes Sanders is not qualified to be president. She is qualified because she is a liar and a crook.

My biggest frustration with politics is that so much time is spent on nonissues like ISIS, e-mail servers and the economy, that nobody is focused on the only real threat – climate change. It’s unbelievable that our extinction is less than 10 years away and nobody mentions it.

Our country was founded on basic principles. However, now with justices and politicians who vote or legislate their philosophy, we have lost our way. I don’t know if there is any path back, but we need a major awakening.

Here’s something to think about: They raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, no one volunteers for the military, and the draft is reinstated.

Fox News personality Megyn Kelly needs to get down off her super-inflated ego and buy some bathroom deodorizer like the rest of us do. She’s only fooling herself.

People make reservations, pay good money, park, walk in, buy food, sit down to enjoy an Intrust Bank Arena show, and what they get are rude people standing up, and all they see are hind ends wiggling in their faces. Why are there no rules and why can’t something be done?
