  • Libertarianism’s Folly, Part Two

    By Selwyn Duke In a piece I recently wrote about the dangers inherent in libertarianism, I pointed out that libertarians, by applying their live-and-let-live philosophy to the moral sphere as well as the governmental, do nothing to maintain the societal moral framework that enables people to govern themselves from within and that ensures Big Brother…

  • The Illusion of Rightward Movement

    By Selwyn Duke In this time of Tea Parties and tanking Democrat poll numbers, people are, depending on their point of view, hailing or howling about an apparent conservative groundswell. More traditional folks anxiously anticipate a GOP landslide in November, while many liberals warn of the perils of our current rightward shift. What are they…

  • Libertarianism’s Folly: When the “Live and Let Live” Mentality Becomes Vice

    By Selwyn Duke While there was a time when I might have described myself as a libertarian, those days are long gone.  In fact, I don’t even call myself a conservative anymore.  Oh, don’t get me wrong, I agree with libertarians on many issues, and their governmental model is vastly preferable to what liberals have…

  • Transgender Reality Bender

    By Selwyn Duke Boys will be boys …  or, at least, that’s how it used to be. Now a few boys will be — or would be — girls, and there are plenty of adults willing to play along. And some of these adults occupy the Maine Human Rights Commission, which just ruled that a…

  • O’Donnell vs. Coons: Analyzing Extremism

    By Selwyn Duke Unlike for most Americans, the Delaware senatorial primary was not my first introduction to Christine O’Donnell.  I remembered her from as far back as approximately 15 years ago, making appearances on shows such as “Politically Incorrect.”  So when I heard about her supposed “extremist views,” I had to wonder if I was…

  • Barack Obama: The Man Who Would be God?

    By Selwyn Duke When writing about Barack Obama’s religious orientation recently, I pointed out that while I do believe he favors Muslim over Western culture, bowing before another — even God — is above his humility grade.  I further mentioned that in keeping with this self-centeredness, Obama is (like all leftists) someone who denies moral…

  • Bill Clinton Helps the Republicans Run against Bush

    By Selwyn Duke You’ve probably heard that joke concerning what’s actually happening when Bill Clinton’s lips are moving, but sometimes the truth does manage to negotiate his tongue.  And his recent trip to Minnesota to campaign for Democrat gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton might just be one of these instances — well, sort of.

  • Abortion Mills Kept Dead Babies in Jars — Like Serial-killer Trophies

    By Selwyn Duke In a piece I just penned about assaults on Austrian pro-lifers, I mentioned the very bizarre Museum of Abortion and Contraception in Vienna. It is a macabre place “cataloguing a history of human effort through the ages devoted to suppressing or destroying the next generation of human life in the womb,” as…

  • Law Looks Other Way While Pro-lifers are Attacked

    By Selwyn Duke The right to peaceful protest is one virtually all Westerners hold dear, but, apparently, not when it’s applied to pro-lifers. Apparently, that is, if the systematic abuse of some Austrian pro-life activists is any indication. The situation involves a notorious Vienna abortionist named Dr. Christian Fiala, who has hired thugs for the…

  • Liberals Creating Anti-Muslim Hate

    By Selwyn Duke One of the quickest ways to provoke resentment in a sibling relationship is for the parents to continually show favoritism to one of the children. And here is a Psychology 101 question: Whom will the disadvantaged child often despise more: A, the parents; or B, the apple-of-the-eye sibling? Ever since an envious…
