  • Blaming Economic Freedom: Using the Malaise to Spread the Disease

    By Selwyn Duke “Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste,” said Barack Obama’s chief-of-staff, Rahm Emanuel, late last year. Mindful of this advice, the left is using our current economic woes to resurrect socialism’s star – and, by extension, communism’s (Marx identified socialism as a transitional stage to communism) – by bemoaning…

  • Guest Piece: The Coming Battle over Reapportionment and Redistricting

    By Bruce Walker The decision by Senator Gregg not to become Commerce Secretary is the first round in a vital battle over reapportionment and redistricting. Title 13 Section 2 provides “The Bureau [of the Census] is an agency within, and under the jurisdiction of, the Department of Commerce.”President Obama and his Chief of Staff lack…

  • In Defense of the White Man

    By Selwyn Duke While many believe that prejudice has diminished over time, it’s not really true.  Prejudice is much like the wind: Its direction changes, and the sheltered and well-situated may not sense it, but it’s always blowing on some people somewhere.  Put literally, every age has its fashionable biases – and unfashionable people.

  • The Right: Losing the Language and Losing the Debate

    By Selwyn Duke Proposition 8 is still under legal assault in California. But whether or not traditionalists lose this battle, their loose tongues help guarantee they will lose the war. According to the left, we traditionalists just aren’t as smart as they are. We’re not college professors, 95 percent of whom are registered Democrats. We’re…

  • Giving Obama a Chance

    By Selwyn Duke Being a cerebral sort, when I ponder President Obama’s seduction of America, I think of the story of the snake and the duck.  To be brief, the snake wants the duck to take him to the other side of a creek, but the duck is reluctant.  He says, “But when we get…

  • Defending the Pope

    By Selwyn Duke Pope Benedict XVI has found himself in a maelstrom of controversy over his lifting of the excommunication of Richard Williamson, an illegally-consecrated prelate who has downplayed the magnitude of the Holocaust.  The Pope has been scored by the media, certain Jewish groups and even some fellow Catholics, yet few truly understand what…

  • Media Bias Against Traditional Values

    By Selwyn Duke We’re used to seeing quarterbacks pummeled at the Super Bowl, but this year something else was sacked: a pro-life message featuring Barack Obama. Although NBC had originally agreed to run the commercial, it subsequently balked, stating that it wasn’t going to air advocacy ads. Read the rest here.

  • United Nations Pact Could Strip Away Parental Rights

    By Selwyn Duke If the United States ratifies the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), parents could be prohibited from homeschooling, spanking or even choosing the religion of their child. If you’ve ever had to deal with a child-protective-services agency in a more statist part of the country, it’s an experience you’ll…

  • Oldie but Goodie: Modern Man and the Wrath of God

    By Selwyn Duke Whether or not you believe in the wrath of God, there is no question that the wrath of the ungodly left is often on full display.  As for the latter, evangelist Pat Robertson got quite a liberal dose of it recently.  The founder of the 700 Club was placed in the crosshairs…

  • Guest Piece: The Descent of Darwinism

    By Bruce Walker Darwin was born two hundred years ago this month.  A serious and decent man, Darwin’s name has become connected with modern Darwinism. Today the Theory of Evolution of Species by Natural Selection has been mystically elevated from a “Theory” into a “Law,” which it is not.  As a working theory, evolution by…
