Kobach considering filing charges against protesters who came to his home
Kobach is the worst possible Kansas government "official" that we could have.
But the clueless and ignorant voters of western Kansas elected this political wonk to office.
It amuses me to no end that the Supreme Court has today found the Kobach-style voter registration law in Arizona to be illegal..
I would advocate that his activites in other states in his voter registration and immigration vendeta should qualify him for impeachment due to derelection of duty in his job in Kansas.

Opinion: Security over privacy not a false choice
This paranoia over "govrnment spying" is just another issue for the paranoid idiots among us. If you are not doing anything illegal, you have nothing to worry about. If your are, I hope you get caught. I obey the laws. Those who do not should be punished. Now, what is wrong with that?
Now I can hear the comments. The hysteria over "Big Brother" watching us like the story in the recently popular book "1984". Oh, yeah, they are really interested in my credit card use to buy ship model kits and insulin syringes on the internet. That is about all I use it for, I carry cash and pay in real money already.
This hysteria is almost as smusing as it is stupid.

State board approves new science standards
Where are the republican legislators and governer?? How could this happen in "Flyover and Bleeding Kansas"??
I"ll bet that they are at work at this hour coming up with a state law prohibiting the influx of reason, responsibility, sanity and truth. Sam the Sham will sign willingly.

Editorial: Privacy lost
So let me get this straight. You are in favor of letting islamic terrorists communicate freely and plan their attacks on Americans? You are in favor of letting self-appointed "whistle blowers" operate freely and endanger our efforts to protect the American People from terrorist plots??
I bet you are also in favor of letting the Republican Legislature and governer of the state make laws obstructing the work of Federal law enforcemtnt officers.
Right????

Medicaid expansion would cover thousands in Douglas County
And with the Koch brothers bought-and-psif for "governer", this will contine ue. And as long as the low-information voters (of Rush Limbaugh) keep electing these dolts, we will continue to be vidtims of the Republican Terroist Party of Kansas

Letter: Power of prayer
Carl is just one of the many people who's reliance on false religion places him with the great majority of Kansans who believe in phony religious philosophy. Hence the attempts of "conservative" (read "facist") elements that we have elected to govern our lives. The aim of these people is to have domination over others who do not believe such hogwash and want to do things is a reasonable and resp[onsible manner. The bible was written by humans who are as falible as you and me and in no way is the word of any "god". It was codified into Holy Law by King James' Councis of Hampton Court in 1611 and mankind has suffered under the King's wishes ever since.
There is noting worng with believing whatever you want, but there is a lot wrong with imposing it on others, Governer Brownback!

Effort to block new education standards fails in House
We Kansans suffer the presence of those among us who would have loudly supported the creation of the Third Reich. Those throwbacks who hide behind the laughable lable of "conservative" in the mold of the closet facist Rush Lombaugh. They seek to have their "conservative" ideas included in the school planning that support their extremist political views and further create a facist state in our state.It is good that this bill has been defeated, but the forces that are behind this sort of political suicide remain. We will have them with us, the present Republican majority in every niche of Kansas politics will continue to move Kansas boldlly into the 18th century.

Editorial: City protest
Well what do you expect. This city "government" (I use that word faciciously) is elected by a miniscule group that bothers to concern itself with city "government" and what we get is this collection of idiots, agended malcontents, and dolts.
You don't care about city government?? This is what you get.

Club Magic manager says he's trying to turn around a new business at an old, and troubled, location
I never patronize thise sort of establoishmentslso I speak from ignorance.
It seems that the sort of music that is played is blamed for the problems her, maybe, maybe not. But the fact remains, something about the operation of this business causes violence, lawlessness, and general disturbance to the community. Businesses that cause this sort of problem should be closed. There is no plausable reason that this sort of thing should be allowed to exist in our community. The presence of liqyuor, angry young people, and gun culture that seeems to be so rife is our modern enlightened civilazion is a hands down guarntee tor problems and should not be allowed.
