Unraveling the complexities of the liberal mind
By Tom Quiner Liberal positions often seem illogical. For example, Team Obama now tells us that the laws of supply and demand don’t apply to energy. Go figure. In order to shed light on the inner workings of our friends and family of the liberal persuasion, Quiner’s Diner has uncovered a diagram of the liberal…
Read MoreMr. Obama oversold Obamacare
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ-p29xEM0s&feature=player_embedded] My wife and I own a small business. We carry a high-deductible health-savings account (HSA). To hold down the price of premiums, we essentially pay the first $5000 of our medical expenses. I just got word that our premiums are going up another $600 this year on top of the $700…

Read MoreIs Peyton Manning worth $96 million?
Is Peyton Manning worth $96 million. A very good liberal friend of mine adamantly states that no one is worth that much money? Says who, I ask? The Denver Broncos suggest that Mr. Manning is very much worth the money, or else they wouldn’t have signed a contract for that amount. Mr. Manning is certainly reviled as part of the “one percent” by members of the Left who are motivated by greed and envy. And yet Mr. Manning did so much good for Indianapolis, the city, in terms of his charitable giving and the job creation he engineered by turning them into a rabid football town …
Read MoreBristol Palin’s letter to President Obama
Bristol Palin: “Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family. He’s made fun of my brother because of his Down’s Syndrome. He’s said I was “f—-” so hard a baby fell out.” (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption I’ve found in God after my past – very public — mistakes.)” Why hasn’t the president demonstrated the same outrage toward Biller Maher as he has toward Rush Limbaugh? Liberal columnist for The Daily Beast put it this way: “Did you know there is a war on women? Yes, it’s true. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz have been waging it for years with their misogynist outbursts. There have been boycotts by people on the left who are outraged that these guys still have jobs. Oh, wait. Sorry, that never happened.” Are you sick of misogyny? Read more now …
Read More“If only Catholics were Indians”
By Tom Quiner It is illegal to kill bald eagles (16 U.S.C. 668-668c). The Northern Arapaho Indian Tribe threatened to sue the federal government, claiming that their rights were being violated, claiming that killing bald eagles is an important part of their religion. The Obama administration said, okay, we’ll let you kill them, we don’t…
Read MoreThe world noticed us yesterday
I changed the world yesterday. I simply prayed in front of Planned Parenthood for God to save lives, to change hearts. I’ve done this now many times, but the number of people joining us is increasing. In the two hours I was there, I’d guess a few thousand people saw us. This Planned Parenthood clinic is on a busy street, and the traffic is heavy. Cars were honking all morning long as they drove by as a simple way to show support. It was encouraging …
Read MoreDoes life have meaning?
By Tom Quiner I will be leaving shortly to pray in front of Planned Parenthood on behalf of the unborn. As I eat my breakfast, I’m asking myself the question: why am I doing this? It comes down to this. Life has meaning. Humanity is unique. It is precious. Those who view human life as…
Read MoreWhy did Planned Parenthood close another clinic?
Something big is happening right now. It goes by two names: 40 Days for Life … or … 40 Days of Hell. The name depends on your perspective. Tomorrow, I will be praying in front of Planned Parenthood on Army Post Road from 10AM til noon. For my Des Moines readers, please join us. We don’t protest in front of Planned Parenthood. We pray.
We don’t shout. We won’t do our bathroom work on their sidewalk. And we won’t take our clothes off. That’s another movement that does that kind of stuff …
Who are the oppressors?
By Tom Quiner Step back with me. Let us look at the big picture. These are strange times. The Left thinks we are nuts. We on the Right think they are nuts. A personal story: A fellow parishioner from my church put up a post on her Facebook page with a link to an article…
