Opinion Line Extra (July 28)

It’s scary to watch the DNC and see the number of people who want this country destroyed, or are just so low in intelligence or information that they follow along like human lemmings.

It’s just like Democrats to blame Russia for the leaked e-mails. They are incapable of placing the blame where it squarely belongs – on themselves. Just one more thing to add to their collection of corrupt shenanigans.

I’m sure the Democratic Party was not the only organization that got hacked, and I’ll bet there were plenty of e-mails that other organizations would not want to be made public.

If the DNC e-mails were hacked by the Russians, I bet he or she was a Russian Republican.

Philadelphia had better rush in lots of proctologists specializing in smoke inhalation resulting from all the lies being told at the Democratic convention.

Trump claims to be strong on our military and support of our troops, yet he criticizes John McCain for being captured. Also, he received five draft deferments, the last for “bone spurs.” As a Vietnam War era veteran, I deeply resent his reluctance to serve.

The Republican convention should have been called “Mad Max: the Prequel” or perhaps “Mad Max: How We Got Here.”

The fiasco that was the Republican convention should be a forewarning of what a Trump presidency will be like – a total disaster. Wake up, people, before it is too late.

Obama was questioned recently about GOP claims of higher crime rates. He stated that rates have actually fallen on his watch. If that is true, why does he go on TV every time there is a shooting and say we need tougher gun laws to stop the slaughter?

If you’re so worked up about sporadic abuse of authority by police, how about getting half as worked up about the nearly constant corruption and abuse of authority and position by those in the government? Until we weed out the criminals, nothing will change.

Politicians like Senate President Susan Wagle who believe others are using hateful rhetoric to divide our country should really start looking in the mirror.

What’s next? An all-female cast in a remake of “The Boys in the Band”?

The trouble with most of these idiots today is that their parents never took them to the woodshed when they needed it.
