The character chasm between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan

By quinersdiner | August 13, 2012

Where Paul Ryan shows guts, Joe Biden offers up gall. Where Paul Ryan sticks to Catholic principle, Joe Biden caves. Paul Ryan believes in the American Dream which by definition includes Life. Joe Biden believes in only one thing: winning the next election, even if it means jettisoning core principles.

What the Paul Ryan Choice Brings Into Play Among Catholic Voters

By quinersdiner | August 13, 2012

With the choice of Paul Ryan as Romney’s running-mate, the 2012 presidential election will be the first in U.S. history with a Roman Catholic on both sides of the ballot. The contrast between the Catholicism of Vice President Biden and Congressman Ryan perfectly represents the ongoing debate about the Catholic vote going back to the Reagan years …

Liberals’ fatal conceit

By quinersdiner | August 12, 2012

By Congressman Paul Ryan If the average American can’t handle complexity in his or her own life, and only government experts can … then government must direct the average American about how to live his or her life. Freedom becomes a diminishing good. But there’s a major flaw in this “progressive’” argument, and it’s this. It assumes there must be someone or some few who do have all the knowledge and…

Amazing the different treatment given to two women by the MSM

The Catholic vote just got a lot more important

By quinersdiner | August 11, 2012

The selection of Congressman Paul Ryan was the equivalent of injecting orthodox Catholics with high potency steroids. In Paul Ryan, we have a man who embraces his Church’s non-negotiable positions on Life and Marriage. Even more, he embraces his Church’s positions on key social justice issues. He simply approaches them differently than liberals want …

What a Vice President Paul Ryan means to America

By quinersdiner | August 11, 2012

Paul Ryan is the anti-Sarah Palin. By that, I mean that he has a long resume despite his relative youth in comparison to Ms. Palin. And he has serious policy wonk credentials. That bodes well for the remainder of this campaign. So far, this campaign has been remarkably unserious.

What do you hate?

By quinersdiner | August 10, 2012

The Right is defined by what we love. Broadly, we love God. We embrace distinctly American virtues which include independence and limited government. We love free markets. We love life, beginning at conception. We love opportunity. The Left seems to be more defined by what they hate and who they hate …

The real reason some folks waited in line so long at Chick-fil-A!

What’s the difference between conservative humor and liberal humor? Ours is funny …

The unsubtle compassion of the party of Obama

“Catholic voters can’t vote for a candidate who stands for an intrinsic evil”

By quinersdiner | August 10, 2012

By Karen Quiner Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori went on the record at the annual Knights of Columbus convention in California stating: “The question to ask is this: Are any of the candidates of either party, or independents, standing for something that is intrinsically evil, evil no matter what the circumstances? If that’s the case, a Catholic, regardless of his party affiliation, shouldn’t be voting for such a person.” (Please…

New York Times criticizes Lolo Jones for virginity

By quinersdiner | August 9, 2012

The Left reviles Christian values. We saw what happened to Chick-fil-A when their boss, Dan Cathy, said he supports traditional, Christian marriage. Their target this week is Lolo Jones …

The “hocus pocus” of liberalism

By quinersdiner | August 8, 2012

What do you think of this e-mail I received: “A Christian is a person who behaves as Christ behaved and recommended for others. It has nothing to do with some sort of hocus-pocus salvation. And if Roman Catholics (I’m a Catholic) believe that good works are necessary we have a long ways to go. Conclusion? It is impossible to be both a Christian and a Republican.”
