  • Obama: Rescuing Dogs and Rending Babies

    By Selwyn Duke What a society talks about — and what it fails to — both speak volumes about it.

Yet while the little curly-haired purebred is creating a…

  • Barack Obama: Chairman of the Bored

They have proliferated throughout the Western world and have become tools of the thought police, and whatever rights they purport to protect, the right to speak Truth isn’t one of them.
