Modern man’s struggle to be humane
By Tom Quiner How could this happen? I refer to the tragic child molestation accusations at Penn State. Children and adolescents have once again gotten caught in the cross hairs of modern man’s self absorption with gratification. The carnage in the wake of America’s assault on the defenseless is beyond human calculation. We were shocked…
Read MoreThe Catholic vote will determine the next president
By Tom Quiner I sat in a Catholic bible study a week before the 2008 presidential election. We briefly discussed the upcoming election. Most in the room were voting for Barack Obama. I asked how a Catholic could vote for a man who had told Planned Parenthood that passage of the Freedom of Choice Act…
Read MoreThe relentless assault on our religious liberties
By Tom Quiner The Bill of Rights hits it head on with the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government…
Read MoreA defining Republican debate
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6an4zSj8LhU] I just finished watching tonight’s Republican debate. I had four reactions: REACTION #1: Rick Perry is done. If you didn’t see the debate, Mr. Perry said he would eliminate three government agencies. He began to list them off but couldn’t remember the third. It was painful to watch. A million Republicans…
Read MoreThe Cain Mutiny
By Tom Quiner I like Herman Cain. But he’s not ready to be President of the United States. I don’t base this opinion on the recent spate of sexual harassment allegations against him. I base it on his ongoing flip flops. I base it on his handling of the crisis his campaign is in right…
Read MoreA quick look at the Gingrich years
By Tom Quiner Who do you blame for out-of-control government spending? The President? I suggest we start with Congress, and specifically, the House of Representatives. All spending bills start in the House. The President can promote spending programs using the bully pulpit. And he can sign or veto the spending bills passed by Congress. But…
Read MoreOccupy Planned Parenthood
By Tom Quiner The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement receives lavish attention from the media. Frankly, they deserve it. It is a big story. There is another big story which receives almost no media attention: the 40 Days for Life movement. The folks participating in this movement are quite a bit different than those in…
Read MoreIs the prayer that united us really a “distraction?”
By Tom Quiner What did the President of the United States do when we launched our biggest military assault in history? He prayed. Even more, he prayed aloud on radio to an entire country with a prayer that was probably heard by more human beings than any other prayer in history up to that time.…
Read MoreGovernment gone wild
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=xOAgT8L_BqQ&feature=player_embedded] Is government too small? Are federal employees underpaid? I’d guess a majority of Americans would answer both questions with a no. Many would agree with me that we have some incredible government employees who are worth every cent they’re paid. But it appears we have a growing “wage gap.” Liberals love…
Read MoreThe population myth
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBS6f-JVvTY&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL838DE67E3DB9025B] The world has too many people. The world is going to run out of food. People are bad, because they are using up the world’s resources. Thus goes the mantra of the Left. Thus says Planned Parenthood. Thus says the UN Population Fund. But are they right? Not according to the…
