NBC censors the Pledge of Allegiance
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq8tydBo5RI] Did you watch the U.S. Open golf tournament on Sunday? At the beginning of the broadcast, they ran a feature with children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in honor of our men and women in the armed forces. Something was missing, though. They cut out the words “under God”. Twice. In the name of political correctness, they cut out the name of the One from whom…
There is no separation of God and State
By Tom Quiner The atheists are at it again. This time, they are “insulted” that Brooklyn, New York has the temerity to dedicate a street sign honoring seven firefighters killed in 9/11. What’s the fuss? The street has been named “Seven in Heaven” Way. The President of the New York atheists, Ken Bronstein said: “There should be no signage or displays of religious nature in the public domain. It’s really…
BREAKING NEWS: Praise the Democrats!
By Tom Quiner Anthony Weiner is going to resign, according to the Wall Street Journal. This would never have happened if Democratic Party leadership hadn’t exerted some pretty strong pressure as reported in various news outlets the last few days. Who knows how much behind-the-scenes arm-twisting has taken place. The party wasn’t able or willing to oust former Congressman Gary Studds when it was revealed he was engaged in a…
Time for the President to shoot straight on jobs
By Tom Quiner Here is what President Obama’s job chiefs said in The Wall Street Journal: “There are more than two million open jobs in the U.S., in part because employers can’t find workers with the advanced manufacturing skills they need.” The solution? More big government. The president wants to spend $2 Billion on remedial job training for our high school graduates. Do you really believe there are two million…
Weiner vs. Gingrich
By Tom Quiner I asked my twenty year old son this question: “What would embarrass you the most? Would it be if your father sent pics of his private parts to young girls and women he didn’t know? Or would it be if your Mom and I got divorced?” (For the record, we just celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary and are quite happy.) He said “where you going with this,…
Ron Paul misses the mark on marriage
By Tom Quiner “Imagine there’s no religion” goes the sentiment in the John Lennon song, Imagine. Ron Paul invoked an interesting idea in last night’s debate that made me think of Mr. Lennon’s song. Mr. Paul supports the idea of traditional marriage of one man, one woman. But he thinks the business of marriage should be left to the churches, that the State should never have gotten involved with it…
Quick reactions on tonight’s Republican debate
By Tom Quiner Some say this crop of presidential candidates represents a weak field. I’m not one of that crowd, because I saw a lot of political talent on the New Hampshire stage. Even more, I saw top conservative leaders giving some good answers to some tough questions. There were also some lousy questions tonight, and it was a flawed format. Thirty seconds just isn’t enough time to answer questions…
What does the President have to say about Mr. Weiner?
By Tom Quiner Here’s what the President had to say about Congressman Weiner’s sextcapades, his comments coming to us via his press secretary, Jay Carney: “As Congressman Weiner has said himself, his behavior was inappropriate, dishonesty was inappropriate. But the president is focused on his job, which is getting this economy continuing to grow, creating jobs and ensuring the safety and security of the American people.” The president did not…
Is lying the real offense in Weinergate?
By Tom Quiner Some liberals claim that the scandal of Anthony Weiner is that he lied about what he did. Oh, really. Suppose he came forward on day one and said something like this: “As embarrassing as this all sounds, I took photographs of my private parts and sent them them to young women I had never met. I began doing this a month after marrying my beautiful wife, who…
Why men in power have more sex scandals than women in power
By Tom Quiner The list of political sex scandals is long: Mark Foley, Larry Craig, Eliot Spitzer, Thomas Jefferson, Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, Gary Hart, Bill Clinton, former Israeli President, Moshe Katsav, Bob Packwood, Wilbur Mills, to name a very few. The unfortunately-named Anthony Weiner now joins the list. It seems that women in positions of power are able to keep their nose cleaner than men. Why is that? Perhaps…
What’s the difference between Republican and Democratic scandals?
By Tom Quiner Republican Congressman Chris Lee was caught sending shirtless photos of himself to someone who was not his wife. The mainstream media (MSN) was all over the story. Mr. Lee resigned. Republican Senator Larry Craig was arrested for lewd conduct in an airport restroom. The media gave the story extensive coverage. Senator Craig was pressured to “retire” at the end of his term the following year after facing…
Day 769 in Democrat’s refusal to pass a budget
By Tom Quiner The Senate is supposed to pass a budget each year. Harry Reid’s Democrats have refused to do it for over two years. There’s a reason why: you’re going to have to take some political heat when you actually put your fiscal blueprint down on paper. Some people think you’re spending too much money here; others are upset because you’re not spending enough there. The law calls for…
