A Heapin' Plate of Conservative Politics & Religion

The face of leadership
By Tom Quiner Carly Fiorina is class. Donald Trump isn’t. Mr. Trump generally proves it every time he opens his mouth. He drew particular attention to his boorishness by mocking Carly Fiorina’s appearance last week. Ms. Fiorina struck back with a zinger of an ad, which I’ve posted above. Way to go, Carly! Great ad. And for the record, I like her face. I predict this week’s debate will mark…
Did Kim Davis save America?
Christianity thrives on martyrdom. When Caesar threw a Christian Church Father, Polycarp, into the arena around 100 A.D., all he demanded of the priest was to proclaim, “Caesar is Lord.”
Instead, Polycarp responded:
“Eighty-six years I have served Christ, and He never did me any wrong. How can I blaspheme my King who saved me?”
And the state killed him.
Things never change, do they?
Rick Perry is out
By Tom Quiner Rick Perry generated no traction in his second quest for the White House. He suspended his campaign this week. I just ran across the blurb below on Facebook and offer to Quiner’s Diner readers as a fitting send off to Governor Perry:
The power of family
The family is powerful.
It not only perpetuates civilization through the beauty of God’s creation, it is a formidable economic force…
The pitch that lifted a nation’s spirits
Life is all about working, playing, and loving. The loving part connects the two and gives them meaning.
On this 14th anniversary of 9/11, I think back to a wonderful moment in the aftermath of our national tragedy…
“Donald Trump is dangerous”
“Donald Trump is dangerous. But not in the way you think. Many say he’s dangerous because you wouldn’t want a hot head with his fingers on the nuclear codes. And while that’s true, that’s not the real danger here.
The real danger is that, ironically, Donald Trump could destroy America’s chance to be Great Again…”
Blatant media bias
“I know it’s not easy to be a single mother. I know that people can sometimes look askance at you, but I’ll tell you one thing, you’re a brave woman because you’re capable of bringing these two daughters into the world. You could have killed them inside your womb, and you respected life. You respected the life you were carrying inside you, and God is going to reward you for that, and he does reward for you for that. Don’t be ashamed. Hold your head high. “I didn’t kill my daughters. I brought them into the world.” I congratulate you.”
The sacred menage a trois
“It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty life is unfinished.” VENERABLE FULTON SHEEN
