  • Critics Rebuke Pope Benedict XVI

    By Selwyn Duke Pope Benedict XVI gave a speech at Israel’s Yad Veshem Holocaust Memorial this past Monday, during which he paid tribute to the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide. His words were not well-received by all, however, as some Israeli critics expected an apology from Benedict and felt that he was “restrained” in his…

  • Modern Children: Making Eddie Haskell Look Nice

    By Selwyn Duke Today's kids are ruder than ever, and the "experts" suspect it may be a by-product of self-esteem training and modern parenting methods. If you ever curse someone with the old standby, "I hope he has kids who are just like he is," chances are greater than ever that you'll get your wish.…

  • Spreading Christianity in Dar al-Islam

    By Selwyn Duke If our military is any indication, it just may be true that there are no atheists in a foxhole. The armed forces have long seemed to be an arena wherein faith runs strong, and while this is laudable, it also creates problems with today’s secular civilian authorities and top brass. One example…

  • Stopping Truth at the Border: Banning Michael Savage from Britain

    By Selwyn Duke When I awoke Tuesday morning, I ambled over to the computer, as is my wont, and made my usual cyber rounds.  I logged on to the Drudge Report and, lo and behold, saw the following headline, “RADIO HOST MICHAEL SAVAGE BANNED FROM UK FOR 'EXTREME VIEWS'….”  “Wow,” I thought, “Britain strikes again.”

  • The Hoax That is Hate-crime Laws

    By Selwyn Duke Back during Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, we became acquainted with the term “human shields.” This was the name given to innocent citizens whom the Iraqis would place in buildings that were obvious military targets so as to confront the West with a dilemma: either refrain from bombing such facilities and handicap yourself…

  • Hate-crime Laws and the Day of the Pink Guillotine

    By Selwyn Duke Hate Crime law HR-1913 may offer federal protection to 30 different “sexual orientations.” Yet, as alarming as this is, the problem with hate-crime laws doesn’t lie in the details. It lies in the laws themselves. In another example of creating specially-protected classes of people, the government is poised to offer homosexuals and…

  • Why the Law is Foreign to Ginsburg

    By Selwyn Duke There is an old saying, “A man who is capable of deceiving only others is not nearly as dangerous as a man who is capable of deceiving himself.”  Truer words were never spoken.  When a person lies, he is deceiving others about reality, but at least knows he is engaging in deception.…

  • Prejudice, Hating Israel and the “Racism” Conference

    By Selwyn Duke Approximately 20 delegates walked out of the Durban Review Conference Geneva, Switzerland after Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made controversial statements about Israel. Our political world today is replete with irony, so I suppose it’s not surprising that the very embodiment of prejudice, President Ahmadinejad of Iran, would speak at a U.N. conference…

  • Beauty and the Beastly Activist: Homosexual Judge Creates Stir at Miss USA Pageant

    By Selwyn Duke They say that no one remembers second place, but this year’s recently concluded Miss USA Pageant may prove that this isn’t always true. In fact, some articles about the event, such as this one, don’t mention the winner at all. Instead, the focus is on runner-up Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean. At…

  • Out of the Closet and Into the Fire: According to Kinsey, Deviancy Is the New Normal

    By Selwyn Duke If you're like most Americans, when hearing the term "sexual revolution," you think of the 1960s. Conjured up are images of hippies in tie-dyed t-shirts, Woodstock, rock 'n' roll, and everything else that attended that tumultuous time in our history. Lying in contrast is the image of the 1950s, supposedly a time…
