Finding common ground with pro-choicers: let’s err on the side of humanity
By Tom Quiner “Pro lifers and pro choicers can agree on this: no one wants to see an innocent human being killed. The issue is, when does human life actually begin? When does someone actually become a human being?” This was my premise in a chat over coffee with my friend, Bob, a staunch pro lifer. My thought was to find common ground, a starting point, between the two warring…
Will there be a media blackout of the March for Life again?
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9Hjc5MCu3s] If a few dozen Occupy Wall Street types gather to rage against the “1%”, the media will be there. They will listen closely. They will write approving stories and spread them through the widespread outlets of the Mainstream Media (MSM). This is news. On the other hand, if a third of a million folks gather to march in the name of Life, the MSM yawns. If…
Mainstream Media on trial
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wwf7UFYQnM]Newt Gingrich’s marital history is ancient history. It has been reported on ad infinitum. Much of it is true. Much of it is distorted. ABC chose to keep this old story alive with an interview with Mr. Gingrich’s second wife, Marianne. They chose to air the hit piece days before today’s South Carolina primary in order to maximize the damage to his candidacy. Why the intense interest…
MSNBC’s twisted take on reality
By Tom Quiner Most comedians are liberals. So, it’s refreshing to hear some conservative humor from time to time. If you agree, you’ve come to the right place. Listen to NewsBusted’s Jody Miller lampoon MSNBC. Take it away Jody … [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5fadBMrQvg]
The Planned Parenthood lie
By Rhonda Phillips Planned Parenthood’s (PP) Jill June, who has enjoyed a hefty 45% salary increase from 2008-2010 and reportedly earns $265,389.00 annually, seeks to terrify women and vilify the GOP, claiming they want to eliminate healthcare for women. This is a lie (Here’s Another Reason Women Leave the GOP, Jan 19-2012). There are countless clinics and hospitals which offer care to women, including Medicaid patients. They just don’t offer…
“Politics and taxes and people grinding axes …”
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L107m8Q1CA] Zoom zoom zoom zoom The world is in a mess With politics and taxes And people grinding axes There’s no happiness *** Let us pause during this presidential campaign for the break that refreshes: a jewel of a song by the Gershwin brothers, George and Ira. I’m talking about their 1937 classic, “Slap that Bass” from the musical, “Shall We Dance?” Ira’s lyrics are as fresh…
In defense of Mitt Romney’s tax returns
By Tom Quiner Quiner’s Diner has invested thousand of words beating up on Mitt Romney. Next to Ron Paul, he is the easiest Republican candidate for Barack Obama to beat in our view. He’s taking heat for dragging his feet on releasing his income tax records. Why? Because it will reveal that most of his income is derived from investments, which is taxed at the lower capital gains tax rate than…
Republican debate explores race issues
By Tom Quiner It started with Juan Williams. The likable and liberal Fox News contributor asked Newt Gingrich about his comment that black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps. Williams wondered if the former Speaker of the House could be viewed … “at a minimum, as insulting to all Americans, but particularly to black Americans.” Gingrich responded quickly and concisely: “No.” I don’t see that.” He talked about how his…
Anybody seen my old friend, Martin?

Didn’t you love the things they stood for Didn’t they try to find the good in you and me And we’ll be free Someday soon and it’s a gonna be…
Three themes in this presidential campaign
By Tom Quiner The theme of Barack Obama’s campaign is fairness. Taking his cue from the Occupy Wall Street Crowd, he targets capitalism and Big Business as the root cause of our problems. Envy is the foundation of his message: you are downtrodden because the “rich” are making money on your backs. The job of government is to take from the rich and redistribute it to the ninety-nine percent in…
