Scenes from the Polk County Republican Convention
I just attended my first Polk County Republican Convention. The contrast between the Republican’s platform and the Democrat’s is profound. The Republican’s preamble could have been written by Thomas Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Party. He wouldn’t have recognized the Democrat’s platform which has swung so far left as to be unrecognizable by historic American values and tradition.
Everything you wanted to know about the Obama Mandate …*
* … but were afraid to ask. By Tom Quiner The president seemed sincere: “I do not suggest that the debate surrounding abortion can or should go away.” This came in 2009 in his address to Catholics at Notre Dame University. Notre Dame’s president slobbered all over the president in his introduction, that the president isn’t … “someone who stops talking to those who disagree with him.” The president soothed…
Obama: “I don’t bluff!”
It’s Friday! Need more objective reporting than you’ll receive from the Mainstream Media? Time to watch Jodi Miller and NewsBusted!
It’s all about freedom.
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaWma3taEEE&feature=related] The president, his party, liberal pressure groups, and their allies in the mainstream media (MSM) are hammering on the theme that the Obama Mandate is all about women’s reproductive health. They know it’s not. You know it’s not. Everyone knows it’s not when you get free contraception by walking into Planned Parenthood, or even to many community action agencies. The issue is about freedom. Rick Santorum…
What’s not in the mainstream media?
By Tom Quiner A quick scan of headlines tonight and in recent months is revealing for what it doesn’t report. Bill Maher calls Sarah Palin a c**t. He gives Barack Obama’s PAC a million bucks. Not a peep from the MSM. No one asks the president if he’ll give the money back, except for a Fox News reporter who is ignored at the president’s press conference. Did Rush Limbaugh receive…
Vintage Newt
By Tom Quiner I love to hear this guy speak. Last night, Newt Gingrich characterized President Obama’s speeches as “so deliciously incoherent.” If you missed it, take a couple of minutes to enjoy Speaker Gingrich at his best.

I speak on Thursday morning at 8:30 AM and again that afternoon at 2:30 PM in room #116E. I am but…
The economic case for Life
By Tom Quiner Demographics, innovation, and capital fuel the economy. In other words, you need a growing population to avoid stagnation. You need entrepreneurial energy to create the new products and inventions that not only make our lives better, but that create jobs and wealth. And you need capital to fund entrepreneurial dynamism. What happens if you don’t have these three elements? Europe happens. The Euro area’s GDP hasn’t grown…
Non-Christians support the claims of the empty tomb
What makes the details of the empty tomb particularly compelling are the actions of the non-Christians in the drama. The Romans posted guards outside the tomb to be sure no one stole the body. Their lives were on the line. A Roman soldier who didn’t do his job was subject to harsh consequences, even death. What happened? The soldiers, inexplicably, all fell asleep at the same time. Not a one remained vigilant, despite the risk to their very lives should they fail in their duty. When they awoke, the stone had been moved, evidently without making any noise to awaken them, and the body was gone.
Anti-Catholic bigotry on the rise
Eucharist is not a proper subject for irreverent humor. And yet Catholics were again subjected to denigration of their most sacred beliefs from another liberal publication, this time the Huffington Post in a piece written by Larry Doyle. Mr. Doyle characterized Catholic worship services as participating “in a barbaric ritual…a ‘mass’ in which a black-robed cleric casts a spell over some bread and wine…[resulting] in a cannibalistic reverie.”
