  • The Moralists of San Francisco

    By Selwyn Duke In the latest bid by the new-morality police, the City by the Bay has decided to prohibit pharmacies from selling cigarettes. And this is just the beginning; the left is chock full of good ideas about how government can save us from ourselves.

  • Barack Obama and Defining Anti-Americanism Downwards

    By Selwyn Duke If Barack Obama sought to win the votes of Germans, he need seek no more. Of course, his new image was all the rage in the Old World long before he gave his July 24 speech in Berlin.  Along with the mainstream media and murderer Dale Leo Bishop, Senator Sweetness and Light is…

  • Response to Readers: It’s the Principle, Not the Principal

    By Selwyn Duke Recently I wrote a piece about the Ponce de Leon, Florida, school board, which recently lost a free-speech case filed against it by the ACLU and a student. At issue were the actions of former Ponce de Leon High School principal David Davis, who was accused of stifling free expression by prohibiting…

  • Principal Fired for Pushing Anti-homosexual Agenda

    By Selwyn Duke If there ever was an example of inmates running an asylum, it’s the modern government-school system. Thanks to numerous court rulings, students can now buck authority with the freedom to wear clothing and espouse political and social messages that their school – perhaps reflecting the wider community’s standards – deems objectionable.

  • Nation of the Apes

    By Selwyn Duke It’s ironic, but a country perhaps best known for bullfighting is taking the lead on “animal rights,” as Spain has approved a resolution that could ultimately grant apes legal rights. Reports timesonline.co.uk:

  • Judge-mentally Impaired Should Get Off Michael Savage’s Back

    By Selwyn Duke It seems as if taking offense is the recreation of choice in modern America. The latest example (of which I’m aware; I’m sure our UPS {umbrage per second} statistic is sky high) has resulted in a planned protest at WOR Radio in Manhattan over some comments radio talk show host Michael Savage…

  • Texas Man Who Shot Illegals Will Not Stand Trial

    By Selwyn Duke The story began on November 14, 2007, when Joe Horn witnessed two men robbing a neighbor’s house. Like any good citizen, the 61-year-old grandfather called 911, but he also did something else — he fetched his shotgun. While the emergency operator implored Horn not to confront the burglars, the Pasadena, Tex., resident…

  • Barack Obama and Equal Pay for Women

    By Selwyn Duke What do you call a man who sermonizes about the evils of paying women less than men but allows that very practice in his own office? While a certain unflattering noun would leap to the minds of most, we can now apply a proper one: Barack Obama.

  • The War on Boys: Where Feminists and Men’s Rights Activists Go Wrong

    By Selwyn Duke One problem with one-issue activists, it seems, is that they often view matters from only one dimension. This has always been one of the characteristics of feminists. Men get blame for being history’s conquerors and killers, for instance, but no credit for being its innovators and healers. We will hear about how…

  • Right-wingers Are the Nice-wingers, While the Left is Bereft

    By Selwyn Duke I remember experiencing one of my first insights into the true nature of modern liberalism. I was 19 years old, sitting in an Indian restaurant with an erstwhile high school "buddy" who was talking about his aspirations. He concluded by waxing idealistic and saying "I want to do good things."
