Editorial: Assault action

Excuse me??? Sex between consenting adults is one thing...but that is *not* what the problem is. But sexual assault is *not* excusable. And it is *not* the woman's fault. "Oh, I'm bitter because they don't have to meet the same physical standards I do. I think I'll rape them." Good grief.

As city prepares to bid recreation center, officials still waiting to receive cost numbers from Fritzel on infrastructure

I've never understood why anyone would advocate throwing good money after bad. Perhaps you could explain?

Editorial: Shirking state

So you *want* to see HIV and venereal disease rates climbing again...why???

I knew there would be at least one person here eager to "blame the victims" by claiming they aren't *really* victims...and deliberately ignoring the people who *are* innocent...like faithful spouses. Don't they count?

Opinion: U.S. must do more to fight radical Islam

Agree with what??? His magical thinking demands like "How many sleeper cells are there in America? They must be found and dismantled"?? What on earth does this foolish man think we're trying to do *now*?

Or do you agree with his outrage that we couldn't keep two individuals from wreaking havoc. Good grief. Hindsight is a wonderful thing...for pretending you *know* what coulda/shoulda/woulda happened.

Do you *really* want us to become a country where the government knows everything each of us is doing so as to "protect" us? Cal apparently does.

City commission candidates give views on economic development issues, downtown redevelopment

But that's *not* what she said. Indeed, her comment certainly *was* tempered.

Here it is again:

"If you have a business model that doesn't work without public money, then maybe you need to find a better business model."

Winter storm forces cancellation of classes, events

I'm genuinely curious. If driving is unsafe at, say, 11 AM, then what is the plan for getting the kids home safely 4 hours later?

Editorial: Matter of opinion

I'm thinking that an Option C applies here that's more a matter of muzzling elected local officials from protecting local taxpayers.

Letter: Hospital threat

Oh, come on!!. "700+billion $s taken from Medicare and tossed into obamacare"??? Talk about making things up.

That is soooo not true. That $700 billion? (Actuallly, $712 billion.) It comes from private insurers, *NOT* from Medicare. Oh! And Paul Ryan's budget called for doing the same darned thing! Because it was the right thing to do. Oh gee. Darn.

And "the american college of cardiology stated that already obamacare is forcing doctors to quit private practice"??? Exactly how many cardiologists do you think are going to be practicing in rural areas anyway???

But, no..."Obamacare" is NOT "forcing doctors to quit private practice". Indeed, why don't you show us the supporting statistics from the the American College of Cardiology to prove your claim?

Frankly, without actual documented figures to support your claims, then how can you claim that Brownback is representing our best interests?
