Opinion Line Extra (May 27)

If you really, really want to bring back the U.S.S.R., vote Donald Trump.

The violent protest at the Trump rally in New Mexico has caused me to take a second look at voting for Trump. This is out of control. Those protesters vandalizing police cars, throwing rocks, etc., should be arrested. If they are here illegally, they should be deported.

With his choice of Bible verse, Trump verifies his personal morality of always getting even, and puts himself outside the Christian domain. Likewise his choice of climate adviser puts him outside the domain of climate science.

Thank goodness for the wild-eyed pistol waver at the White House. We got 45 minutes with no Trump on the news.

We Wichita gun owners are concerned about Trump’s flip-flopping because there’s no footage of him ever firing a gun. We will get some hunting version, because the news media are the only ones willing to go with him dressed in new camouflage on his first trip.

You want to know that you will not be in danger when public workers come to you home? That’s easy – don’t pull a gun on them, or loose your dog on them. Then they won’t need to shoot you or your pet.

You blame the public education system for poor or nonexistent qualities in our youth of truth, ethics, self-control, respect for others, honesty, bravery and the rule of law (May 20 Opinion Line)? Those qualities have to be established and nurtured in the home if they are going to exist.

Purse thefts make the news again. Desperate people demonstrating another example of the glowing Obama economy? Hope and change you can believe in.

I love these celebrities who lecture us on climate change, then jet off polluting the air to accept their environmental giant awards. Stop by on the way home and pick up your hypocrite-be-me trophy.

As for Gov. Sam Brownback stopping a runaway train (May 20 Opinion Line): He can never do that. He’s too busy throwing the working poor and the middle class under it.

Sen. Jim Denning stated, in reference to the budget bill signed by the governor: “We don’t know the details of the agencies.... We just left it up to him and them to decide what they can do within their agencies.” If that’s the case, why do we need the legislators?

It has been three months since I electronically filed our Kansas state income taxes. I called and have not gotten a response or a check. How many other people have not gotten their refund?
