What does it all mean? Ultimately, each man knows inside that he or she counts for something. Inside, we all know that human life is somehow vitally important. From Cairo to Warsaw to Washington D.C. we march in the name of human dignity.
Read MoreShould we err on the side of humanity?
By Tom Quiner “Pro lifers and pro choicers can agree on this: no one wants to see an innocent human being killed. The issue is, when does human life actually begin? When does someone actually become a human being?” This was my premise in a chat over coffee with my friend, Bob, a staunch pro…
Read MoreQuiner’s Diner most-hated posts of 2010
By Tom Quiner Quiner’s Diner presented 169 heaping helpings of conservative thought for your consumption in 2010. Rather than recap the best of the lot, I will instead recap the ones liberals seem to hate most (and ironically, conservatives love the most). Sometimes it’s nice to have leftovers!

Read MoreIs it true that less than 5% of Planned Parenthood’s clientele get abortions?
By Tom Quiner A Quiner’s Diner reader took me to task for criticizing Planned Parenthood’s Christmas gift certificate promotion. My gripe: gift certificates promoting abortion is offensive. Her counter: “Gee, I wasn’t aware that women’s health services are a desecration of Christmas. Perhaps you are unaware that women’s health services aren’t restricted to abortion. Not…

Read MoreShould we turn Iowa into the abortion Mecca of America?
By Tom Quiner What a beautiful state, Iowa. Our soil is black and loaded with life. We feed the world. Our people are sensible, hard-working folks. There are no finer people in the world than Iowans.

By Tom Quiner I participated in an event called 40 Days for Life as recounted in my blog posts on October 7th and 8th. I stood with others in front of the Planned Parenthood facility where abortions are performed. We quietly prayed for the unborn in Des Moines and throughout America. I’m a small cog…
Read MoreWhy Republicans need to stand tall for the unborn now
By Tom Quiner FACT #1: Last week’s election swung on economic issues. FACT #2: Last week’s election also swung on concerns over runaway big government. Wouldn’t you say those were two of the biggies? So here is my question: were social issues such as abortion and traditional marriage issues? Of course they were, but not…
Read MoreWhat is the most important vote on Tuesday’s ballot?
By Tom Quiner Iowans are faced with huge choices on Tuesday. Do we replace our big-spending Governor? Do we oust three activist Supreme Court judges who imposed gay marriage on Iowa? Do we replace a Congressman with a 100% voting record on the Pelosi index with a fiscally-prudent conservative? These are all big choices. But…
