  • Guest Piece: The Ugly American

    By Bruce Walker Five decades ago, during the heart of the Cold War, a term entered modern political vocabulary:  The Ugly American.  Based upon a 1958 novel of the same name, the phrase began to be used to describe the whole range of thoughtless mistakes which Americans made and which led to the loss of…

  • Is YouTube Cooking Stats for Obama?

    By Selwyn Duke News aggregator DrudgeReport.com is currently linking to a YouTube video of a government schoolteacher instructing young students to praise Obama in song. While this is shocking, there is an even bigger story here. Consider this: the video’s “views” counter listed only 363 views as of 1:04 p.m. EST on Sept. 24. But…

  • Segregation Today, Segregation Tomorrow, Segregation Forever in Tucson

    By Selwyn Duke Would you hire school teachers and mete out punishment to students based on race? Some obviously would, as this is exactly what’s happening in Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) in Arizona. The district has decided that instead of choosing teachers based on the outdated concept of merit, it will hire teaching staff…

  • Soda Is the New Tobacco

    Ever since Barack Obama floated the idea of a soda tax, oh-so-caring politicians have been lining up to save you from yourself. Ka-ching. First it was tobacco, with Al Gore, who grew the plant but never inhaled, preaching against it. Next it was SUVs, with Arianna Huffington warning that it was unsustainable for the average…

  • Guest Piece: Obama’s Economic Legacy: Success? Or, Failure?

    By Marilyn Barnewall One definition of insanity is continuing to do things the same way but expecting a different result. Understanding that, one must ask the obvious question: Why does the Obama Administration keep doing the things that got the U.S. economy in trouble? It exemplifies one of three things: Insanity, duplicity, or stupidity. I…

  • Nickelodeon Wants School Kids in Changing the System

    Children’s network Nickelodeon is well-known as a purveyor of propaganda, and now it’s participating in a new program that encourages kids to “change the system.” By Selwyn Duke It used to be that the stuff of children’s programming was Wile E. Coyote’s perennial hunt for the Roadrunner and Bugs Bunny playing it cavalier with the…

  • Guest Piece: Why Obama Could Not Stage a Coup

    By Bruce Walker Some conservatives have begun to openly wonder if Obama is going to seize power in America.  Would he want to do this?  Perhaps so (which is a scary.)  No one dreamed that Carter, the worst president of the last century, wanted or planned to seize power.  Clinton wanted to win power, but…

  • Soap Opera Actress Fired in Name of Homosexual Agenda

    What happens when there's a clash between holy motivations and homosexual machinations in Hollywood? By Selwyn Duke If a recent allegation made against the ABC producers of "One Life to Live" is any indication, they could use some soap to clean up their agenda. Show regular Patricia Mauceri claims she was fired from the program…

  • Back to School with Obama: Educational Talking Points 101

    By Selwyn Duke At high noon today, EDT, Barack Obama issued a challenge to America’s schoolchildren. In his much anticipated back-to-school speech, he appealed to students to stay in school, work hard, set goals, and not use personal crosses as an excuse to fail. It was, by and large, a message so positive that critics…

  • Obama’s Speech to the Children of America

    By Selwyn Duke Whether or not President Barack Obama’s September 8 back-to-school speech will be “historic” as his Department of Education (DOE) states, it certainly is headline grabbing. His talk is currently the talk of the nation, but thus far the only historic aspect of it is the opposition it has inspired. People are divided…
