Republicans lost the battle, not the war
By John Malett Clearly the election showed President Obama was not given a mandate and the country is more divided now than when he took office. Yet Froma Harrop, speaking for liberals and RINOs everywhere, advises, “Republicans Need to Take Their Party Back” (Nov. 7). As Obama said to Paul Ryan when Ryan presented a bipartisan budget proposal for consideration, “That’s not going to happen.” Conservatives are not going to…
The pro life movement is on fire
The Life movement is unstoppable. Evidence is everywhere. Prayer vigils at Planned Parenthoods around the country persist, flourish, and change hearts. Former Planned Parenthood employees keep coming forward with damning exposes’ on what goes on behind closed doors. Politicians are getting skittish about diverting taxpayer dollars to abortion factories.
Post Election Thoughts
by Karen Quiner A few years ago, I was chilled to the bone while watching a documentary about the holocaust. It was done from a unique perspective, one I had never seen before. The documentary featured pictures and footage of ordinary Germans, most of them family-oriented, church-going folks, who went about the business of living their ordinary lives while people were being gassed by the millions. All of them saw…

Reckless rhetoric from the Left

And yet it ain’t over until the fat lady votes, to steal a phrase. I went to the Romney rally in Des Moines on Sunday. It was mobbed. The crowd was electric. Peggy…
Home schooling offers hope for our country
By Tom Quiner I love teachers. My mom was a teacher. So were my aunt and uncle. So is my daughter-in-law. So is my niece. I was blessed with many exceptional teachers growing up in the public school system. Today, I am witnessing amazing passion amongst home schoolers. I received an e-mail today from a home-schooler that prompted this post. She showed me how she is using the election as…
I don’t blame African-Americans for voting for Obama
By Tom Quiner Nine out of ten blacks are going to vote for Barack Obama. Maybe more. Conservatives understandably bristle when they see these polls. Suppose 90% of whites voted for Romney, they grouse. Wouldn’t that be proof of racism? Well then, goes the argument, why isn’t it racist for blacks to so overwhelmingly vote for Obama? For the same reason it was understandable that Catholics voted so overwhelmingly for…
