Even Democrats fear Big Government
By Tom Quiner Even as President Obama and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi commend the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, rank and file Democrats are more fearful of Big Government than Big Business. Even as President Obama and his party call for an even bigger federal government, his Democratic base is not in agreement, according to a new Gallup Poll. When asked who they fear more, Big Government, Big Business, or…
Should public policy be molded by religion?
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71NT42QtD64] “We have to give voice in public policy to keeping with the values of the Word.” The person who made this comment was referring to the Gospel values embedded in Christianity. If I understand correctly, the speaker is saying that our faith must project its values onto the larger society by whom we elect to office and in the legislation we pass. The speaker is former…
Congress under fire
By Tom Quiner The American public is disgusted with America’s runaway debt and a Congress unable to do anything about it. Yes, President Obama has contributed to the mess by promoting and signing bad legislation. And yes, he is a shameless class warfare demagogue, a man who promised to be a post-partisan president, but is in fact the most partisan president in modern history. Despite Mr. Obama’s shortcomings, it is…
Quiner’s Diner’s readers react to Newt Gingrich …
By Tom Quiner Newt Gingrich is the most interesting candidate in the field. Love him or hate him, you’re going to listen to him and talk about about what he is saying. I’ve gathered together comments from reader’s of this blog post regarding Speaker Gingrich. A Des Moines attorney who was a Pawlenty backer this Spring said this about Gingrich to me last June: “Newt is not viable, by the…
The ulterior motive behind the global warming con
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmtjh7yCrw4&feature=player_embedded] The recent revelations of Climategate II reveal the scientific duplicity behind the global warming movement. An international global warming conference is taking place in Durbin, South Africa, right now, with little international fanfare. The movement has been discredited. As Jim Inhofe, Republican Senator from Oklahoma, says above: “The message from Washington to the U.N. delegates in South Africa this week could not be any clearer: you are…
Postal politics
By Tom Quiner I’m in the marketing business. I’ve created a ton of direct mail campaigns during my career. I communicate with customers and prospects via direct mail all the time. I’ve certainly been critical of the post office in the past and will be in the future. I’ve called for the privatization of the post office. Having said all of that, today I come to their defense. I read…
Introducing Lucille Katherine …
By Tom Quiner My wife and I adopted a baby yesterday. To be more precise, we “spiritually adopted” a baby who was conceived this month. We named her Lucille Katherine. We will never meet this little girl. But by committing to spiritually adopt her, we have embarked on a 9 month journey of daily prayer for this real human being. We pray that her mother makes the choice to honor…
Cities of hope
By Tom Quiner Hope is like manna for the soul. It allows us to dream big dreams, to believe they can come true. Hope energizes our lives and communities. In this election cycle, we need candidates who can restore the American Dream, the belief that we can become the best version of ourselves and leave the world a better place than we found it. How do we create cities of…
The amazing invention that the Left despises
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-axx7tEiHNc] A man invented something amazing. This guy invented a way of running a business that saved people of modest means a bundle of money. He lowered at-home food prices by 9.1% according to Global Insight, an international research firm. Amazingly, the Consumer Price Index was 3.1% lower because of this guy. He invented a way to give regular folks more purchasing powers, to make their paychecks…
Global warming con job
By Tom Quiner I’m like a lot of people: I’m a global warming agnostic. There is credible evidence that the earth is warming. But it depends on whom you listen to. But if we assume the earth is warming, there’s a lot of disagreement on how that will affect the world. There are even credible spokesmen, like Bjorn Lomborg of the Copenhagen Consensus, who suggest there are benefits to a…
Is a bug more important than a person?
By Tom Quiner The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has added a moth-like butterfly, the Poweshiek skipperling, as a candidate to the federal endangered species list. You can be fined and potentially imprisoned if you kill this bug. If you end the life of a boy or girl in a woman’s womb via abortion, you will not be fined. You will not be imprisoned. You may even get the abortion…
