I don't understand this comment "For Ryun, Kansas sports hero and Bible literalist, it may have been galling to be beaten once again by a woman". Does this mean that Ryun is a sexist simply because he is a Bible literalist or because he is a sports hero or both? Either way it is a very IGNORANT comment and once again emphasizes your liberal bias.
Mr. Kelley, as far as I'm concerned you are as big a piece of crap as can be found in Emporia, and that is saying something.
Since we are now in the business of name calling I expect this post to remain posted.

For being so understaffed the city workers seem to find time to do a lot of standing around, stopping by yard sales(on work time), etc. It is time to cut back. That means staffing and putting on hold all projects that are not related to critical services or infrastructure. I say NO to any new tax until I see that we are cutting back on things as well.

Dear. Mr. Kelley,
Where in the f*&% do you get off writing an article against media bias? That is truly the pot calling the kettle black.
You are truly a bigger idiot than I thought if you actually think someone with half a brain is going to take this article seriously!

Thanks for the article Doug. Just so I understand this, I shouldn't believe what I read in chain emails? That could explain why I've never recieved all of those gift certificates from Microsoft yet.
Only politics of fear or trust???? That's just dumb. So if a politician wants to pass legislation that I don't agree with, say universal health care for instance, that falls into which category? I fear that it would be disastrous but I should simply trust? I don't know who Ed Muskie is but he's full of crap.
This is why I'm against programs that promote people to just go out and vote. Please, if you haven't taken the time to research the candidates or the issues, DO NOT vote. Only uninformed individuals fall into the category that would be influenced by the "Politics of Fear".

You guys might enjoy this article. It is written by someone far more intelligent that Patrick Kelley. Left-wingers beware: It speaks the truth too mach for you to handle it.

Victory in Iraq is removal of Saddam Hussein, removal of any WMD that they may have had, installation of a moderate democratic government, reduction in violence to allow said government the ability to be successful. Most important to our success is staying and supporting Iraq for it is the message that we send to other nations about our resolve that will best deliver our message. Those are what I feel would constitute victory. Now, what are your conditions? If you are like many people who spew the same tired slogans of the left I suspect that you are not so concerned with victory as you are losing.
"Furthermore, Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons program. There is literally not a shred of evidence to support this notion"??? When militant governments who are threating to wipe us and/or our allies off of the map are developing nuclear capabilities I guess I would rather them prove it to the international community rather than just taking their word for it. Incidentally, they also claim the Holocaust never occurred and that they don't have a single gay person in their country. Do you believe that too?
"And North Korea has launched missiles in our direction and we literally did nothing." I'm not sure what your point is here. Are you saying that we should actually do something about this? If so, I do agree that something should be done to deter NK. Do you have any suggestions? We've been talking to them for a number of years and cannot seem to reason with them. They keep asking for things that we cannot concede. Are you suggesting we bomb them or give in to their demands. I'm sure that you have some really great ideas
"to yield or concede to the belligerent demands of (a nation, group, person, etc.) in a conciliatory effort, sometimes at the expense of justice or other principles."
Governments of Iran, Venezuela, and N. Korea want to sit down one on one with the US to lend validity to themselves. Obama says he would sit down with them. This is exactly what they want, by doing so he would be "yielding in a conciliatory effort to their "demands" at the expense of commonly accepted diplomatic "principles".
Many of us in this country weren't around for the rise of communism/socialism but still would rather not live in a socialist country. You are correct that there are many socialist policies in place in this country but to say that nobody minds them is beyond ignorant.

Alow me to shed some light on the reason some on here are ashamed/embarrased to be from Kansas.
Believe me, I know where a lot of people are coming from on here. During and right after graduating from college I was a brainwashed (braindead) liberal (as far as god was concerned at least). I was so much more enlightened and intelligent than the idiot close-minded bible thumpers that I felt the need to help enlighten them and mock them at every opportunity. In doing so I became close minded myself.
As I grew up and had children my perspective began to change and I became more open-minded. Science, I began to reason cannot explain everything in this universe. The big bang theory certainly seems like a huge stretch to me. How can something come from nothing? I realized that we do not have all the answers. I don't think it is ignorant to keep an open mind in regards to Intelligent Design. However, separation of Church and State does arguably prohibit it to some degree.
There is as much hard evidence supporting evolution as there is Intelligent Design. Which is little to nothing.
The reason some are embarrased is because they are afraid that the other close minded liberals in this country will group everyone in Kansas together who don't share the same views as them and think they are as ignorant as the people on the board or education who believe that we don't have all of the answers and that Science alone cannot/does not explain everything.
It's very complicated to explain but just think of them as hypocrites and you'll get the picture.
