The story the media doesn’t like to cover

By Tom Quiner | October 4, 2010

By Tom Quiner Thousands and thousands of people across America lined the streets of their communities in prayer for the end of abortion.   Here in Des Moines, masses lined Merle Hay Road. The Des Moines Register did not photograph the event.  They didn’t include a single word of coverage in their Monday edition.  Keep in mind, the Register provides Planned Parenthood lavish news coverage and editorial support.  They provide…

Why Reduce the Number of Abortions?

By Tom Quiner | October 3, 2010

As seen in the Des Moines Register on October 4th, 2009 By Tom Quiner “The president explicitly expressed his commitment to reducing the numbers of abortions and to listen to the church’s concern on moral issues.” This is the news release much of the media missed on July 16th after President Obama met with Pope Benedict. Think about this statement. It is relevant today, October 4th, 2009.  This is Life…

Here’s something Republicans and Democrats can agree on

By Tom Quiner | October 2, 2010

By Tom Quiner Republicans and Democrats have differing viewpoints when it comes to the human fetus (Latin for offspring or Little One). Republicans view the Little One as being worthy of human rights. Democrats don’t. Republicans view the Little One as being a person. Democrats don’t. Republicans view the Little One as having a fundamental right to life. Democrats don’t. Democrats and their judicial soulmates have had far more power…

Obama lip-syncing scandal!

By Tom Quiner | September 30, 2010

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCyPAaubENE&list=SL] One of America’s most trusted names in news, The Onion, broke the stunning story above. Does this mean that Milli Vanilli might be able to find a spot in this administration?!

Welcome to Des Moines, Mr. President

By Tom Quiner | September 29, 2010

By Tom Quiner The President of the United States is visiting my neighborhood this morning. He’ll be at the home of members from my church. Some of my friends will be in attendance. I had a 7 AM meeting at my neighborhood coffee shop this morning, Grounds for Celebration, where a couple of Secret Service agents where loading up on caffeine. It’s all exciting, but I didn’t earn an invite.…

Does the “other side” have a good motive?

By Tom Quiner | September 28, 2010

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw4TfcOD-UA] No, the other side does not have a good motive. Democrats despised President Bush and former Speaker Newt Gingerich.  They didn’t trust their motives. Republicans despise President Obama and Speaker Pelosi.  They don’t trust their motives. It wasn’t always this way in America, was it? One of America’s great commentators on politics and culture, Peggy Noonan, talks about America shortly after President Obama’s election in 2008.…

The rage against God

By Tom Quiner | September 27, 2010

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5B1U2Y7KRw&feature=player_embedded#!] At the age of 15, Peter Hitchens burned his Bible and denied God’s existence. At the age of 58, his older brother, Christopher, wrote a best-selling book, “God is Not Great.” If you didn’t guess, Christopher, too, is an atheist.  However, something happened to younger brother, Peter, along the way. He changed his mind. He became a Christian … again. The younger Mr. Hitchen also wrote…

This could be the Tea Party’s theme song

By Tom Quiner | September 25, 2010

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VR1bOha40U] Like most of the world, I love the great musical, Les Miserables. The characters were far more multi-dimensional than I had ever seen before in musicals.  The multiple, interwoven plot lines kept me on the edge of my seat. The classic song, Do You Hear the People Sing? reminds me of the Tea Party movement. With just a few tweaks, it would be perfect. Enjoy.

What do UAW workers do for lunch?

Iowa women’s health in jeopardy with telemedicine abortion

By Tom Quiner | September 23, 2010

By Maggie DeWitte, Executive Director of Iowans for L.I.F.E. Have we gone too far? In this world of rapidly advancing medical technology, the need exists to frequently step back and look honestly at what the possible outcome of each new advancement might be. That certainly is the case for the telemedicine abortion scheme being tested on Iowans across the state of Iowa by Planned Parenthood.  Recently, several pro-life and pro-family…

More straight talk from Governor Christie

By Tom Quiner | September 23, 2010

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVccFQLFmUo] Maybe I’m just tired with the President’s ostentatious oratorical self-indulgence. Maybe I’m just tired of politicians who say nothing with a lot of words. On the other hand, maybe the times call for directness.  Anyway you cut it, Governor Christie of New Jersey is a breath of fresh air amongst a bevy of bloviators. We’re in a mess. Spending is out of control.  Unemployment is rampant…

This is how a leader talks!

By Tom Quiner | September 22, 2010

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkuTm-ON904&feature=player_embedded] Please take a few a minutes and listen to the exchange below between a New Jersey school teacher and NJ Governor, Chris Christie. Governor Christie is direct. He pulls no punches. He conveys information with clarity. He makes no apologies for making tough decisions, and he had to make them. This is a nine minute exchange worth watching all the way to the end. America has…
