Opinion Line Extra (May 7)

Obama is transforming America by giving it away to the Syrians, the Cubans and the Mexicans.


Obama has been a seven-year disaster.


You can’t really refer to anyone as partisan now. There is only one serious political party in America capable of governing. And it ain’t the one that just nominated a reality TV star to be your next president.


I hope everybody is ready for President Clinton. Sure, she should already be in jail, but that would require Obama’s Justice Department to do its job, so it ain’t gonna happen. Trump fans: You’re to blame.


Our country deserves the likes of Donald Trump. What a foul-mouthed, egotistical individual he is. We will reap what we have sown. Ted Cruz is a class act – too good to be brought down to spar with someone like Trump. Ted would have walked circles around him in a one-on-one debate.


Kansans found out the Brownback experiment did not work, and Kansas is going bankrupt. Trump would be another experiment for the country. What is it going to take to stop letting elections get bought by the rich and stop experimenting with our lives? Put America back to work. Vote Hillary.


Those liberals out in the street protesting will help propel Trump to the White House. I wouldn’t be surprised if his polls surpass Clinton’s by more than 10 percent.


Net farm and ranch income fell 40 percent in 2015. Most oil- and gas-related businesses are operating at or near a loss. But Democrats are right on. Commodity prices have little effect on tax revenues to the state.


Rebuttal to Rep. Mark Kahrs’ May 2 letter supporting the Kansas fiscal policies: Minnesota.


I will no longer do business with any small businesses because they pay no state income taxes. It is not their fault, but until the legislators have the guts to reverse Brownback’s 2012 tax law, it is not fair to the rest of us taxpayers.


And just how soon will it be before the governor begins to steal – er – move the new car registration fee from the designated recipients to his feeble, delusional attempt to fix the budget without repealing the “give money to the rich” business tax?


Would someone please remind Franklin Graham that religion is the root of all evil, not the solution to evil?


I am not saying that I am getting old, but our high school mascot was a dinosaur and we had a live one.
