Should the State tell churches who they can hire?

By Tom Quiner | January 15, 2012

By Tom Quiner Something amazing happened. The Supreme Court just issued a unanimous ruling. In recent years, the Court has been split down the middle with with one split decision after another. It took another of Barack Obama’s radical Justice Department shenanigans to unite the nine justices. The case:  Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The Obama Justice department said that if a church violates anti-discrimination…

Venture capitalism vs. venture socialism

By Tom Quiner | January 14, 2012

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_bQgFBDZjo&feature=player_embedded] Mitt Romney is under attack for the successes and failures of Bain Capital while he was there. Whatever you think of Mr. Romney, and I have concerns about him as a candidate, I would like to point out that Bain Capital used private money to make more money. Let us contrast that with President Obama who is using public money, yours’ and mine, to fund his…

The debt ceiling blame game

By Tom Quiner | January 13, 2012

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyLmru6no4U&feature=player_embedded] Is there anything wrong with raising the debt ceiling? A Senator said yes. He charges the president for being “unpatriotic” and “irresponsible” for asking to have the debt ceiling raised. Who is this Senator? You guessed it: the former junior senator from Illinois, Barack Obama. It is wrong when a Republican wants to raise it, but okay when a Democrat wants to do it. Senator Obama…

The questions I would have liked asked at the last debate

By Tom Quiner | January 12, 2012

By Tom Quiner I’m still chewing on the loaded questions thrown at the Republican candidates for President at last Saturday night’s debate. They dealt with gay marriage issues. This is certainly an important issue. But in this Obamanomics-sustained Great Recession, is this the issue, along with contraception, truly the main issues real people want to be talking about? George Stephanopoulos wasted seven questions on the (non) issue of contraception. Josh McElveen,…

The vicious Left

By Tom Quiner | January 11, 2012

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AF80wcAXrM] Rick Santorum believes that a baby in the womb is a human being. The president, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the bulk of the Democratic Party disagree. They only agree to bestow the mark of humanity at birth. Fifteen years ago, Karen Santorum, Rick’s wife, gave birth to a premature baby. Their son died at birth. By the definition of most Republicans, he enjoyed the dignity…

Meet my grandson

By Tom Quiner | January 10, 2012

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zyNO6YFYzA&feature=youtu.be] When I heard the news in the Fall, I exclaimed to a friend: “I’m going to be a grandfather!” Being the good pro lifer that she is, she said, “you already are.” Of course, she is correct. My grandson, who will be my first grandchild, will be born this Spring. He is nonetheless fully human, fully alive, fully a person this very minute in his mother’s…

What I like about Rick Santorum

By Tom Quiner | January 9, 2012

By Tom Quiner I like something about each Republican candidate. There is something I very much like about Rick Santorum: he is authentic. This is a huge deal in the year 2012. Many Republicans look at Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich and have concerns about what they really stand for. Independent voters have legitimate concerns about what Barack Obama really stands for (see: Do you really trust Barack Obama more…

How the American culture poisons us

Their target audience is young, unmarried women. “Cosmo” is famous for their suggestive cover headlines: Bad Girl Sex: 75 very naughty moves to try on a man. Great Guy, Lame Sex? Orgasm Virgins.

Remarkable media bias at last night’s debate

By Tom Quiner | January 8, 2012

By Tom Quiner Just when you think the media can’t crane to the left any further, they surprise you. Take ABC’s George Stephanopoulos with this question in last night’s Republican debate: [Do you believe] “that states have the right to ban contraception, or is that trumped by a constitutional right to privacy?” Think about this question. As Mitt Romney, the target of the question, pointed out, no state is interested in banning…

How to destroy a nation

By Tom Quiner | January 6, 2012

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxHfYNTrnic&feature=youtu.be] It is essential to squash a people’s independent spirit to bring them down. America is the most independent nation in history. That is changing. As the chilling video above reveals, our kids coming out of public schools today increasingly have a sense of entitlement. In other words, they are increasingly comfortable to become dependent on government. The teachers union controls our kid’s curriculum, and they downplay…
