Read MoreThree themes in this presidential campaign
By Tom Quiner The theme of Barack Obama’s campaign is fairness. Taking his cue from the Occupy Wall Street Crowd, he targets capitalism and Big Business as the root cause of our problems. Envy is the foundation of his message: you are downtrodden because the “rich” are making money on your backs. The job of…
Read MoreShould the State tell churches who they can hire?
By Tom Quiner Something amazing happened. The Supreme Court just issued a unanimous ruling. In recent years, the Court has been split down the middle with with one split decision after another. It took another of Barack Obama’s radical Justice Department shenanigans to unite the nine justices. The case: Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v.…

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AF80wcAXrM] Rick Santorum believes that a baby in the womb is a human being. The president, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the bulk of the Democratic Party disagree. They only agree to bestow the mark of humanity at birth.
