Opinion Line Extra (May 10)

Whether it is trying to lose weight or if you are voting, doing the same thing and expecting different results is crazy.


Trump supporters:, You’ve foisted this contemptible clown on us all, and he won’t beat Clinton. Most of America despises him, and we’ve told you for months we won’t vote for him. When President Clinton is sworn in, you can only blame yourselves.


In ancient Athens they had a process called ostracism, where once a year the people could vote on the politician they thought was most destructive to the democracy. The “winner” was banished from Athens for 10 years. I nominate Kris Kobach.


Why has God left it to mortals to proclaim himself or herself to the world through thousands of years? An omnipotent being could break into mass media, clarify what is expected of mankind, end the fighting about who has the true religion, and stop the slaughtering in his or her name.


Move to Kansas: We are never going back to the 19th century, because we are still there.


Don’t like what’s going on in Kansas politics? Most of the answer for it, as well as Congress and all political elected offices, is term limits. Our Founding Fathers never intended or envisioned career politicians, because they instinctively knew they would do damage to this country.


Note to the Kansas Legislature: You have not fooled us by shifting your responsibility of balancing the budget to Brownback. We know that you don’t want another stain on your record by cutting more critical education and services. Now you let our failed governor do your dirty work.


A jellyfish has no backbone, is easily seen through and has no particular form of forward movement. They simply drift with the tide, living on whatever comes their way. The only jellyfish native to Kansas are located within the limestone confines of our state Capitol.


The Kansas legislators were arguing about naming a buffalo herd? What next? I would think if it were a herd of donkeys, it would be easy for them.


Some of those in the federal refugee resettlement program may not be Muslims? If so, darn few.


So Sarah Palin (of all people) has a position on climate change, and it is refuted by Jimmy Kimmel (of all people). This makes my head hurt.


Wichita had two homicides in a week by knives, not to mention other previous instances. I’m surprised Obama doesn’t want all knives digitally locked up, like he has been crowing about with guns.
