Obama’s flea flicker
I remember it like it was yesterday. Earl Morrall handed the ball off to halfback, Tom Matte, at the Jet’s 41 yard line. Matte swept right. What happened next was a disaster…
Read MoreThe difference between Iraq and Syria is as huge as the difference between Bush and Obama
“So Obama is wrong for wanting to help stop the slaughter of women and children via chemical weapons while Bush got us in two wars on the possibility that Saddam may have chemical weapons. I fail to follow the logic you and many other bashers that seem to take such delight in name calling our commander in chief.
If you are like most of your fellow Obama haters, you were all for the war Bush pushed us into.”
This was the recent comment of a faithful, if contrarian, Quiner’s Diner reader. I thank him for sharing it …
Read MoreThe world has caught on to Obama
… After five years of this, the world caught on, and sees juvenile and narcissistic petulance in lieu of statesmanship—and unfortunately a sinister Putin takes great delight in reminding 7 billion people of this fact almost daily …
Read MoreWould you follow a man who voted “present” 129 times?
What does it say about a guy who doesn’t have the guts to vote yes or no 129 times? That he is spineless; that he has no conviction; that he can’t be trusted; that staying out of the hot seat is his overriding goal in public life.

“I’m thinking we should do something.”
These were the sentiments expressed by a friend over coffee this morning. We were talking about the Syrian situation.
My friend was concerned about the victims of chemical weapons in Syria. Shouldn’t a great nation like the U.S. intercede in the name of humanity? For the record, she is an ardent Obama supporter …

Here’s why …
Read MoreReality check: Obama DOES support chemical weapons
Barack Obama’s world view has been a living, breathing, and evolving process, much like his view of the Constitution. But that is not the point of this post. The point is this: Barack Obama certainly does support the use of chemical weapons which target innocent human beings.
I am talking about …
Read MoreThe U.S. should stay out of Syria until the president makes a better case for war
The president is asking us to kill people.
Think about this. We are Americans. We believe in a fundamental right to life (unless you’re a Democrat, of course).
The Nobel Peace Prize winner, who is also the president of the United States of America, has justly expressed his outrage at the mass killing of Syrian civilians via chemical weapons. He wants to do something about it: he wants to use American might to potentially kill some Syrians.
Specifically, as I understand it, President Obama wants to …

How Obamacare and Benghazi affect Syria
By Tom Quiner “If you like your current health insurance plan, you can keep it.” How many times did candidate and president Barack Obama say that his plan, Obamacare, wouldn’t affect your current health insurance coverage? Who can count that high? Even more, he promised to lower our insurance premiums by $2500 per year by…
