Opinion Line (July 19)

Future President Trump says exactly what needs to be said exactly the way it needs to be said. If you find you are taking exception to that, perhaps you are not as American as you’d like to think yourself to be.

Trump’s vice-presidential pick is the most consequential since Nixon picked Ford to replace Agnew. With a Republican Congress facing impeaching and removing Trump for insanity, get ready to say “President Pence.”

The bad news in the presidential election will be that we are guaranteed to elect a truly horrible candidate to the office. The only good news is that we will also avoid election of another truly horrible candidate.

We used to have a political system of groups and factions. We are now creating a new, simpler version: white Christian conservatives versus everyone else.

In light of the constant state of turmoil, perhaps we should keep the all U.S. flags at half-staff and Congress in a perpetual moment of silence.

I find it amazing that Rep. Tim Huelskamp boasts that he never voted for a tax increase (even those that would help our state?) and that he worked to make sure President Obama would not succeed. Who needs a politician like that?

The Republican establishment is indistinguishable from the Democratic Party today on many important votes in Congress, and that includes our very own Sen. Jerry Moran. Sen. Pat Roberts isn’t much better.

I love people of all races and see great beauty in preserving tradition, but if you’re here for some reason other than to be an American, you should leave now.

Solomon, the wisest man in history, wrote that the Lord hates “hands that shed innocent blood.” Surely this refers to the abortion industry.

It’s time to organize a male accountability movement that is as vocal and strong as the right-to-life movement. We should not overlook or forget their part in getting women pregnant.
