Democrats are the party of Government. The bigger the better.

Following each successive mass shooting, and they just don’t stop coming at us, Democrats cry out in unison for more top down gun laws. 

There is seldom any discussion as to the why so many people want to kill as many people as they can. Nor is there any discussion as to the why the laws already on the books continue to fail…

Top ten religious movies for Lent

By quinersdiner | February 18, 2018

By Tom Quiner Integrating God and faith into movies doesn’t always work. Sometimes, directors who are ardent believers try so hard to convey their fervor that the audience feels like they’ve been clubbed over the head.

Celebrate being alive

By quinersdiner | February 13, 2018

“Birthdays are so important. On our birthdays we celebrate being alive. On our birthdays people can say to us, “Thank you for being!” Birthday presents are signs of our families’ and friends’ joy that we are part of their lives. Little children often look forward to their birthdays for months. Their birthdays are their big days, when they are the center of attention and all their friends come to celebrate.…
