Where do you have the most power?
Do you have more power as a consumer or as a voter? Interesting question, isn’t it? Think about it in the context of your health insurance. Obamacare has stripped away much of our power as consumers. The Rasmussen Poll reveals that 76% of Americans think they should have the right to choose between expensive insurance plans with low deductibles and low-cost plans with higher deductibles. Obamacare won’t allow you the choice …
An honest mistake

“The system has sucked the life out of the people”
“I have no hope.” This is what a woman said to Bishop Richard Pates on his trip to Cuba with Pope Benedict last week. The Bishop said “Life is very hard … the system has sucked the life out of the people.” And yet American Democrats love Cuba and Fidel Castro. As the Chairperson of the Democratic Black Caucus said after her trip to Cuba, “The bottom line is President Castro is still charming, and our country still sucks.” Why is Cuba better than the U.S. in the eyes of so many Democrats? …
Bubba kicks butt while Tiger kicks club
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eihfPcmCeXc&feature=related] Forgive my indelicate headline. I couldn’t resist. The 2012 Masters just ended with a spectacular victory by Bubba Watson in dramatic sudden-death. Watson started the final round three shots behind third round leader, Peter Hanson of Sweden. He watched his playing partner, Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa, make a spectacular double-eagle on the second hole to quickly vault to the lead. At one point, Watson trailed Oosthuizen…
An intoxicating love affair with the divine
Last night was big. It was my 31st anniversary of becoming a parent. And it was another anniversary. I attended the beautiful Easter Vigil Mass at my church. It was the 31st anniversary of my entrance into the Catholic Church, an act whose significance grows each day. My baby boy and I both came into the Church that evening in 1981. Thirty-one is a fitting number. After all, I attend a church called Holy Trinity, named in honor of our God in three forms, who nevertheless is one God. The Father. The Son. The Holy Spirit. The sweep of the Catholic Easter Vigil is awe-inspiring. It is epic …
Would you die for a lie?
By Tom Quiner Men have been known to go to their death for something in which they believe. Those men are few and far between. Men don’t give up their lives easily. Do men go to their death for a lie? No they don’t, because our lives are too precious to us. The ultimate sacrifice, the ultimate expression of courage by giving up one’s own life, is only witnessed in…

You are about to enter the zany world of Jodi Miller, lead “investigative” reporter for NewsBusted. Liberals, put your defenses up.

All we need is love
What separates us from the animals? It is man’s ability to love that makes us unique. When I say love, I mean love in all of its multi-faceted and wonderful complexity. When I say love, I don’t mean sex, which is an act of procreation. When I say love, I’m talking about self-giving. The culture’s notion of love is warped. Our politics accelerate the corruption of love.
Why Republicans can trust President Obama
Republicans can count on President Obama. By that, I mean that they can predict his actions, the way he thinks and reacts. They can predict who he will go to the mat for, like Planned Parenthood, environmentalists, and our foreign adversaries. And they can predict who he will confront, like the Catholic Church, oil producers, and our foreign allies …
