The Reagan Doctrine vs. the Obama Doctrine

By quinersdiner | June 5, 2014

From 1974 to 1980, totalitarianism was on the rise. South Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos, South Yemen, Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Grenada, Nicaragua, and Afghanistan fell into the orbit of the Soviet Union.
Then Reagan entered office. Under the Reagan Doctrine, the momentum of totalitarianism was more than slowed, it was reversed. Dictatorships collapsed in Chili, Haiti, and Panama during Reagan’s watch. Democracy advanced in nine more nations, including Bolivia, Honduras, Argentina, Grenada, El Salvador, Uruguay, Brazil, Guatemala, and the Phillippines …

Poland had been brutalized by atheism for nearly four decades.
First, Nazism killed one out of five Poles during World War II. Communism wisked in following the war and tried to suck the economic and spiritual life out of a proud, but wounded nation.

An uneasy truce between Church and State came to a head on June 2nd, 1979.

Ask any Pole. They’ll tell you World War II ended and communism fell on the same day, June 2, 1979, in the summer of hope.

This corporation routinely puts women’s lives at risk, disregards abuse victims, ignores women in need, agrees to abort baby girls because they are girls, and denies the humanity of the unborn – just to increase the bottom line …

"Chastity is for lovers"

By quinersdiner | June 2, 2014

The Tampa Bay Times has won ten Pulitzer Prizes.
This venerable paper ran a piece by a staff writer titled, “Why I’m still a virgin at 26.”
Interested?
Of course you are. In these topsy turvy times, a single woman who publicly acknowledges her virginity in her twenties is more than an anomaly, she is a statistical fluke. Even more, she sets herself up for scorn by those who have turned their back on the virtue of chastity.

Art a conservative can love

By quinersdiner | June 2, 2014

People do crazy things in the name of art.
Sometimes, the craziness works. For example, who in their right mind would dream of creating a work of art out of 66,000 cups of waters. Especially if the endeavor took 62 hours of toil.
An artist by the name of Belo would …

Robert Cramer for Congress

By quinersdiner | June 1, 2014

I had the pleasure of having dinner with Robert Cramer at the Iowa Right to Life banquet.
Mr. Cramer expressed the solid, conservative ideas that can restore our country to prosperity after the malaise of the Obama years. Most jobs in this country are created by small businesses.During the Obama years, government regulation has exploded. Every single regulation increases the cost and risk of hiring a new employee …
