  • When Teachers aren’t Smarter than a Fifth-grader

    By Selwyn Duke When I’ve written about our listing mis-education system, my focus has mainly been on rampant political correctness, on how students learn few of the right things partially because of emphasis on teaching the wrong things. Yet there’s another problem: in some cases the teachers couldn’t teach the right things even if they…

  • Obama Supporters are Shocked, Shocked, I Tell You….

    By Selwyn Duke My mother always used to say, “Life is the best teacher.” Sure is — and sometimes it smacks you right upside the head. It appears this has happened with Barack Obama supporters now witnessing their paychecks shrink in the wake of tax increases. And they’re none too happy. In fact, they’re shocked.…

  • American Suckers

    By Selwyn Duke Really, I can’t completely blame foreigners who hold us Americans in contempt. I know that’s a controversial statement, but my reasoning is explained with two questions: Do people generally respect those who allow themselves to be used as a doormat? And, then, how do people usually feel about the character of a…

  • Vote-stealing Dem Pleads Guilty to Beating up Girlfriend

    By Selwyn Duke If you’re a Democrat operative forced to resign for facilitating vote fraud, what do you do for a follow-up? If you said brutally attack your girlfriend, cracking her skull, your name just might be Patrick Moran. And if you’ve skated on both counts, your father just might be Jim Moran, Democrat congressman…

  • Six-year-old Suspended for Firing Assault Finger

    By Selwyn Duke If you want to know why we’re breeding some crazy youngsters nowadays, you only have to look at the adults surrounding them. A case in point is a Maryland elementary school that recently suspended a little child for using an assault finger. Writes The Examiner of Washington: The 6-year-old, who attends Roscoe…

  • The Left Shows Its True, Violent Colors

    By Selwyn Duke It isn’t entirely true that, as Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” It’s often the case that power simply allows people the luxury of lowering façades and showing their true colors. A good example is the recent behavior of many on the Left. Commentator Donald Kaul just wrote…

  • Piers Morgan Takes Aim at the Bible

    By Selwyn Duke You’ve got to hand it to bloviating Brit Piers Morgan. While he got most of the facts wrong in his recent targeting of the Second Amendment, it hasn’t stopped him from moving on to even more formidable targets. Such as the Bible. He says the book is “inherently flawed” — and needs…

  • Hey, Libs, What about the Employer’s Body?

    By Selwyn Duke If a leftist expressed new-age spirituality and uttered the Zen idea that he was one with the Universe, I’d certainly believe him. What else could explain liberals’ seeming inability to know where their body ends and someone else’s begins? For instance, while abortion is justified with the battle cry “My body, my…

  • What Would Jesus Shoot?

    By Selwyn Duke A co-religionist friend of mine asked some years ago, “What is the [Catholic] Church’s teaching on firearms…? Does it recommend an assault rifle or a shotgun?” He was kidding, of course, but not so funny are some recent attempts by liberal “Christians” to turn Jesus into Sarah Brady. Motivated by their unique…
