You are a racist
By Tom Quiner Do you disagree with President Obama’s policies? Then you are a racist. Mr. Obama’s supporters are very clear in this contention. A Quiner’s Diner reader shared this feedback: “I have a good friend who is a protestant pastor at an east-side church. Up until yesterday we had never discussed politics, but he is the kind of guy I would have bet my life would be a staunch…
The issue obscured by the Obama Mandate
Did you watch television last night? If you did, I bet you saw commercials for Geico, Progressive, and State Farm peddling low car insurance rates. Did you ever wonder why you don’t see the same market dynamic with health insurance? There is a one word answer: government.
Nomination through character assassination
By Tom Quiner Mitt Romney and the Republican Establishment (RE) are doing grave damage to the Grand Old Party. Mr. Romney has spent $17 million in Florida alone with a single thrust: to smear Newt Gingrich. Gingrich has spent about $5 million to defend himself and counterpunch against the Romney assault, an assault joined by John McCain, Bob Dole and other members of the RE. These are the guys who…
Why Obama just shot himself in the foot
By Tom Quiner Prior to last week, this year’s presidential sweepstakes was going to pivot on two issues: the economy and fairness. President Obama cannot run on his record, because the economy is not recovering from the recession in a normal way. Although the economy is growing, it is growing at a snail’s pace. And unemployment remains very high. Some economists are concerned about a “double dip” recession. To counteract…
Here’s the story the Mainstream Media refused to cover
The numbers grow each year for The March for Life. Why? Maggie Dewitte explains in her reflection from this year’s March.
The price of inhumanity
By Tom Quiner From 1980 to 1988, there were 1 million deaths due to the Iran/Iraq war. From 1980 to 1988, there were 14 million deaths in the U.S. due to abortion. Before the U.S./Iraq war began, there were an estimated 270 mass graves in Iraq. It is estimated that those graves hold the bodies of 400,000 people. In the U.S., our mass graves are found in the dumpsters behind…
News flash! Obama doesn’t blame something on Bush!
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0cA1_qF1Cg&feature=youtu.be] In an era when the president is single-handedly requiring Catholics to pay for abortifacients for their employees, we need to find a way to keep our sanity. Humor is one way. Laughter is the only way to keep us from crying. To that end, Quiner’s Diner is once again proud to present conservative humor at its finest from the folks at NewsBusted. Watch this for the…
The Prodigal Son
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgODzUMscZ8] James Farentino died on Tuesday. The actor appeared in over a hundred roles in the movies, on television, and on stage. I liked the characters he played. He was always compelling to watch on screen. There is a single role, though, that stood above all of his other performances. That was his riveting Emmy-nominated portrayal of Peter in the mini-series “Jesus of Nazareth.” To me, “Jesus…
The State of Human Dignity
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuoTU0cdA00] The world is focused on the president’s State of the Union address last night. This speech came the day after hundreds of thousands people marched and prayed for the dignity of human life right in his own backyard. The president ignored this March for Life. So did the New York Times. So did the Des Moines Register. The president has made a tactical error that may…
The Tea Party responds to the president: “the time is now!”
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhiq1Gclybo&feature=player_embedded] The president gave his State of the Union address. He says the “time is now” to make change. The Tea Party movement agrees, only the change they call for is far different than what the president wants. The Tea Party calls for: 1. A budget. It has been 1000 days since the Senate has presented a budget. 2. Stop deficit spending. The president has increased deficit…
The State of Small Business
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En1z2FbxoXc&feature=player_embedded] Small business is the backbone of our economy. Ninety-nine percent of all employer firms have fewer than five-hundred employees. They employe more than half of all private sector employees and pay 44% of all private payroll. They have generated 64% of all net new jobs over the past fifteen years. In other words, our economy depends on small businesses. The key to stimulating them isn’t big…
