A Heapin' Plate of Conservative Politics & Religion
by Tom Quiner
More journalistic bias from the MSM
By Tom Quiner Such a tragedy in Arizona. Our prayers go out to Representative Gabrielle Giffords as she fights for her life. Our prayers go out to the families of the slain. A deranged, pot-smoking atheist has attacked and murdered officials of our government. Innocent bystanders are dead. How could anyone do such a thing unless they were, in fact, a nut case? According to immediate news reports, the blames…
Doritos pulls offensive ad
By Tom Quiner Good news. Thanks to an outcry from America’s faithful, Doritos is withdrawing their “Feed the Flock” ad from the Super Bowl. Quiner’s Diner wrote about it in its previous post. The conservative blogosphere needs to be ever-vigilant in keeping attacks on religious faith at bay. The mainstream media is pretty comfortable with messages disrespectful of religion. They save their outrage for pro life messages, like last year’s…
Will the Super Bowl allow Christ to be desecrated?
By Tom Quiner “I speak for many sports fans who find it a great shame that our national unity over football could become yet another day where we are divided over politics and the culture wars.” I have paraphrased ABC’s news anchor Dan Harris in his criticism of Focus on the Family’s Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad last year. Quiner’s Diner wrote about the controversy last year. You can view…
Did Republicans really deceive the public?
What would ABC have to say if the government wouldn’t allow them to broadcast their show across state lines, just as they don’t allow health insurance companies to market their services across state lines?
Why high unemployment is here to stay
By Tom Quiner In a typical economic recovery, the economy starts growing and eventually job creation follows suit. I’m not overly optimistic about the likelihood of a robust surge in job creation because of Obamacare. Let’s say you’re a small business owner with 47 employees. Obamacare creates a disincentive to add new employees, because once you hit 50 employees, you must provide health insurance or face stiff fines. In other…
Quiner’s Diner most-hated posts of 2010
By Tom Quiner Quiner’s Diner presented 169 heaping helpings of conservative thought for your consumption in 2010. Rather than recap the best of the lot, I will instead recap the ones liberals seem to hate most (and ironically, conservatives love the most). Sometimes it’s nice to have leftovers! What is the truth? Liberals get very worked up over the idea that truth is not relative. One liberal responded to this…
Are telabortions in compliance with the law?
By Tre Critelli In September of 2000, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the marketing and use of mifepristone (brand name Mifeprex, but commonly known as RU-486) for the termination of early intrauterine pregnancy, which is defined as a pregnancy of 49 days or less counting from the last menstrual period. The FDA conditioned the distribution of the drug, however, on the performance of specified medical requirements to ensure its safe use. This…
The Summer of Hope
By Tom Quiner [I was interviewed this morning on KWKY AM radio station about the new musical I am writing and producing, “The Pope of the People.” We begin rehearsals next week. Below is an excerpt from another interview on the subject. In addition, I am re-running the piece I wrote for the Des Moines Register last summer upon which much of the musical is based.] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYr01NzYwyk] It began on…
The birth of the Christ
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYMRfTSVfaQ&feature=related] Enjoy a beautiful Amy Grant song, El Shaddai, with accompanying video from “Jesus of Nazareth.” Merry Christmas.
Are Christians really mean and selfish?
By Tom Quiner “The more some people profess to be “Christians,” the meaner and selfish they seem. Their refrain seems to be, “It’s my money, and I know best how to spend it.” These are the words of a letter writer in this morning’s Des Moines Register. They reflect the thinking of the political Left in this country, thinking that feels a need to denigrate Christians who don’t go along…
Hallelujah!
By Tom Quiner It happened one day at a food court: a little spontaneous joy. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXh7JR9oKVE] Handel’s Messiah Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah For the lord God omnipotent reigneth Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah For the lord God omnipotent reigneth Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah For the lord God omnipotent reigneth Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah (For the lord God…
