What’s going on with the Republican campaign?
By Tom Quiner The Republican establishment wants Mitt Romney to be their candidate. Rank and file Republicans don’t. Rank and file Republicans don’t want a man with fuzzy convictions and a demonstrated willingness to compromise and cave in to liberals. The dynamic in this race is fascinating. Mr. Romney has the best organization and the most money of his remaining rivals, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Ron Paul. He has…
Why Obama is the “biggest wet blanket to progress in my lifetime”
By Tom Quiner Do you know where that quote is from, that President Obama is the “biggest wet blanket to progress and job creation in my lifetime?” It comes from a wealthy and powerful Democrat, Steve Wynn, the famous Las Vegas developer. I’m in Las Vegas. As I look around this town, I see Mr. Wynn’s properties everywhere. His newest, the Wynn, is spectacular. Although I’m no fan of Vegas,…
Mitt is still thinking like a liberal
Imagine the huge impact on the U.S. if we could find jobs for teen age males and engage them productively before they get themselves into trouble. What a boon this would be for America. The beauty is that it doesn’t require a government program. It simply requires more freedom, freedom to let each worker sell his or her productivity for what the market will bear.
Cranky Super Bowl musings
Non-religious readers of this blog may not fully realize how offensive it is to Christians to see the sacred symbol of Christ’s suffering, the cross, profaned by the likes of Madonna Louise Ciccone who reject its meaning and flaunt it as mere jewelry.
It’s halftime in America
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEM9dodyABo] There is only one Super Bowl ad worth discussing: Chrysler’s “halftime in America” ad narrated by Clint Eastwood. Very thought-provoking. It IS halftime in America. The issue is simple. Will we retake America’s values as expressed by our Founding Fathers? You know what I’m talking about, the fundamental rights that flow from God. Do you know what they are? Of course you do: Life. Liberty. The…
The gruesome business of Planned Parenthood
Telemed abortion allows Planned Parenthood doctors to be more productive and profitable. A single doctor can administer a larger quantity of abortions throughout the state without the expense of traveling to remote locations.
Why I oppose Susan G. Komen
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq0kBkUZbvQ&feature=player_embedded] It hit me like a ton of bricks today: I’m the exact same age my Mom was when she died. And that’s young. Today’s news headlines jarred my memories of the painful loss of Mom to breast cancer nearly a quarter of a century ago. You see, the Susan G. Komen Foundation has decided to restore its financial commitment to Planned Parenthood after pulling it just…
BREAKING NEWS! Michael Moore to vote Republican!
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IY67T7g-Hw&feature=youtu.be] Liberals are too easy to lampoon. Jody Miller does it so well on NewsBusted. Here’s the latest “news” from Jody. Be sure to stick around for the last report about Michael Moore. You’ll have a smile on your face the rest of the day. Have a great Friday!
Nancy Pelosi’s relentless betrayal of the Catholic Church
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15ei8ZGEAuo&feature=player_embedded] Here in Des Moines, our Catholic Bishop said, “I have some bad news.” He proceeded to rail against the Obama Mandate that the entire Catholic community in the U.S. is railing against. And yet former Speaker of the House said in the video above, “I’m going to stand with my fellow Catholics in supporting the administration on this. I think it was a very courageous decision…
“President Obama may have just lost the election.”
By Tom Quiner My favorite political columnist is Peggy Noonan of The Wall Street Journal. The headline above is her direct quote. Ms. Noonan is not known for overstatement. Rather, she is know for her keen political insight. She served as Ronald Reagan’s speechwriter and wrote some of his greatest lines. Even she was stunned by President Obama’s brazen imposition of the Obama Mandate on Catholic organizations. Ms. Noonan: “The president…
Mitt Romney’s less than resounding support for the unborn
By Tom Quiner With Catholic and other faith-based organizations under attack by President Obama and his Mandate (see “Why Obama just shot himself in the foot”), pro-lifers are looking for a candidate who will go to the mat for their cause. Will Mitt Romney? Pro lifers trust Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich on the subject. They have track records that back up their rhetoric. Mitt Romney says all the right…
“Imagine there’s no liberals …”
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9RCygMfIG8&feature=player_embedded] Brighten up your Thursday morning with this delicious parody of John Lennon’s song, “Imagine.” I think this comes to us from Rush Limbaugh, but I discovered it on a delightful blog called “The Mad Jewess” (http://themadjewess.com). This is a site by patriotic American girls. Their slogan is: “We are extremely intolerant of Leftists, Atheists, Progressives, NAZIs, #OWS, O-BOTS, Paulans, and Godless FREAKS!” So be forewarned! Tell…
