Vintage Newt
By Tom Quiner I love to hear this guy speak. Last night, Newt Gingrich characterized President Obama’s speeches as “so deliciously incoherent.” If you missed it, take a couple of minutes to enjoy Speaker Gingrich at his best.

Read MoreThe economic case for Life
By Tom Quiner Demographics, innovation, and capital fuel the economy. In other words, you need a growing population to avoid stagnation. You need entrepreneurial energy to create the new products and inventions that not only make our lives better, but that create jobs and wealth. And you need capital to fund entrepreneurial dynamism. What happens…

Read MoreAnti-Catholic bigotry on the rise
Eucharist is not a proper subject for irreverent humor. And yet Catholics were again subjected to denigration of their most sacred beliefs from another liberal publication, this time the Huffington Post in a piece written by Larry Doyle. Mr. Doyle characterized Catholic worship services as participating “in a barbaric ritual…a ‘mass’ in which a black-robed cleric casts a spell over some bread and wine…[resulting] in a cannibalistic reverie.”

Read MoreDon’t rush to embrace conspiracy theories
Conspiracy theories detract from critical issues at stake in America. Mr. Obama has implemented a bold and destructive plan for America. It is crucial for Republicans to sharpen the message on their vision for America, which they are not doing very well at all. Conspiracy theories will only hurt the conservative movement, not help it.
Read MorePro-lifers make the honest choice
The ultrasound debate rages between pro-choice and pro-abortion advocates. And pro lifers are gaining the upper hand in defining terms in the debate. For example, saying, “the woman,” in referring to a pregnant mother is deliberate language used to dehumanize the unborn child alive within her. So if a mother really feels she has a choice, would she choose to end the life of her unborn child?

A recent Quiner’s Diner post stirred up a hornet’s nest: “This article is false and misleading. Ultrasounds are sometimes done at Planned Parenthood, if a doctor feels it is necessary, and the patient consents. It is not routine, and it is always a medical, not a political, decision. And that’s the point. Ultrasounds should be performed on a case-by-case basis for medical reasons; they should not be mandated by government at any level for all patients.” A former Planned Parenthood insider spills the beans on what really happens at Planned Parenthood on this critical issue …
Read MoreBorn alive, left to die
By Tom Quiner You’re viewing a tragic sight. Right before your very eyes, you’re watching a baby struggle for life. With immediate medical intervention, she might live. Without it, she will be dead shortly. What should you do? This is isn’t a hypothetical question. It happens when abortions take place. Sometimes the abortion “fails” and…
Read MorePrelude to nihilism
By Tom Quiner You need to get to know Pete Singer. Fast. Mr. Singer is an Australian philosopher with associations with Princeton University in the U.S. and the University of Melbourne in Australia. Mr. Singer is an atheist with a unique philosophy: human life is no more valuable than mosquitos, muskrats, or mackerel, or, for…
