Should taxpayers support PBS?
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt5YRexag1o] I am writing this as I watch the 25th anniversary concert of Les Miserables. I’m a huge fan of this musical. I am enthralled by the magnitude of the production. I am grateful to PBS for broadcasting this magnificent concert. They are running this show as the centerpiece of their fund drive. I hope they raise a ton of money to keep this kind of programming…

What do you think of a new television show from ABC called “Good Muslim *&%@#% ?
The time is right for Gingrich but not Christie
Timing is everything in politics. The time is right for Newt Gingrich to pursue the presidency. Let’s respect Governor Christie’s wisdom and let him finish cleaning up the mess he inherited in New Jersey. His day will come.
This video will turn you against abortion
The world needs to revel in the simple joy of a baby’s delight in things we take for granted. How can we allow the destruction of such innocent creatures? They represent the essence of who we human beings are: creatures that delight in simply being alive.
President Palin refuses to enforce the law
By Tom Quiner President Sarah Palin refused to enforce Roe v Wade because she didn’t like the ruling. Do you think the New York Times would be mute in the face of such a story? Or CBS? Or anyone in the mainstream media? Of course not. There would be an outcry like we have never heard of in the history of the howling hysterics on the Left. And yet these…
Is the Wisconsin Governor really a dictator?
By Tom Quiner Here’s the accusation: Governor Scott Walker “is basically taking up the posture of a dictator.” The accusation comes from the chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Rep. Keith Ellison, (D-Minnesota). What has Governor Walker done that’s so bad? He’s doing what the people elected him to do last November: reign in collective bargaining agreements with public employees and get them to contribute more to their health insurance and…

Who has more common sense, a drunken sailor or the President?
More Democrats deny democracy
By Tom Quiner Indiana Democrats have followed the lead of Wisconsin Democrats and have fled their state. They don’t have the votes to block pending fiscal responsibility legislation proposed by their Republican counterparts, legislation that requires teachers and state union members to pay more for their benefits, kind of like the rest of us have to do. The issue is simple: state governments are getting buried in mountains of debt.…
Arab protestors and Americans long for democracy
By Tom Quiner The Mideast is in chaos. Regular folks there are sick of oppressive regimes and thirst for freedom. Here in the Midwest, we too long for more freedom. In Iowa, our elected legislature passed a law a dozen years ago which defined marriage as being between one man and one woman. Our judges shot it down. They said they understood what a marriage was better than us regular…
The $4 Million Bible comes to Des Moines
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-vVERgPrMo&feature=related] The greatest artwork in history has been done in the name of God. This morning’s Des Moines Register carried a story by Michael Morain about the Saint John’s Bible which is on display here in Des Moines through March. What is unique about this Bible? It is the first major hand-written Bible since the 1600s. But it is more than hand-written, it is hand-illuminated. Beautiful, contemporary…
House votes to defund Planned Parenthood!
By Tom Quiner Eleven Democrats joined House Republicans in voting to pull the plug on taxpayer’s $350,000,000 annual “donation” to Planned Parenthood. The vote was 240 to 185. Dissenting Democrats term this austerity move a “war on women.” The average American has a hard time understanding how Democrats could say something like that. After all, it’s the baby in the womb that’s dying. Not women. Congress has simply decided that…
