Pro-Life
Have we become comfortably numb?
Twenty years ago I was in Germany for work and decided to visit the remains of the Dachau concentration camp. Dachau was the first concentration camp that the Nazi’s opened, less than two months after Hitler came into power. I can remember standing in the crematoria building looking at a picture on the wall that showed a pile of dead people awaiting the ovens. I then realized I was standing in the exact spot where the bodies were piled 50 years earlier. I wanted to throw up …
Read MoreToday’s Herods
“The only differences between the Herod of old and the Herods of today are in the weapons used and the number of victims. “Herod used swords and spears to kill the Holy Innocents. Today’s Herods use abortion, “The Pill” and other chemical weapons. And whereas Herod killed a relatively small number of babies, today’s Herods have butchered literally hundreds of millions … with no end in sight!” People I know would be enraged by this quote …
Read MoreHow Democrats defend bigotry
By Tom Quiner Dishonest Iowa Democrats smear a good woman. This was the Quiner’s Diner post on April 13th. The Des Moines Register picked it up and ran it without changing a word. The Dubuque Telegraph Herald ran with it. I was asked to be a guest on a Northern Iowa talk radio show to…

The power of religion in American politics
The ascension of the religious Right gets all the press. But the faithful abound in the middle, too. Moderate social justice voters, so many of whom are Catholic, swing elections. These voters care about the pre-born and traditional marriage. They believe in religious freedom. Democrats are losing these people. Republicans can win them by presenting an agenda that balances intelligence and responsible public policy with compassion and justice …
Read MoreCatholic Advocate comes to Des Moines
The president has a problem. He doesn’t like Catholics. In particular, he doesn’t like Catholics who attend Mass every week. Why do I make such a provocative claim? Because regular Mass attenders in the Catholic Church are more likely to embrace and honor the teachings of the Church than those who come once in a while, according to surveys. And the president aggressively opposes the Church’s teachings on Life, traditional marriage, and contraception …
Read MoreIowa Democrats target pro-life Catholic
By Rhonda Phillips The Democratically controlled Senate’s rejection of nominee, Colleen Pasnik to the Iowa Board of Medicine (IBM), is deplorable. Based on statements by Senator Jack Hatch (D), it is obvious Ms. Pasnik was not vetted for her work and scholarly qualifications but rather for her pro-life, Catholic background. Senator Hatch’s remark, “Anyone with…
