  • The Church of Huck: Growing Government in the Name of Religion

    By Selwyn Duke There is a candidate in the presidential race who has a serious religion problem.  No, it’s not Mormon Mitt or recently-religious Rudy.  It is Mike Huckabee. Just for the record, I share Huck’s faith in Jesus Christ.  Not only have I no problem with religion in public life, I also understand that…

  • Selwyn Duke Reponds to Questions about Election

    By Selwyn Duke The only difference between Bill Clinton and Mike Huckabee is their choice of instruments. After my expose of presidential aspirant Mick Huckabee (properly known as Huck "the Huckster"), I received numerous reader emails wherein people asked me, essentially, who was a better viable alternative.  A few of these emails follow along with…

  • The Huckabee Hustle

    By Selwyn Duke When evangelicals embraced Jimmy Carter during the 1976 presidential campaign, they didn’t know he would repudiate the Southern Baptist Convention a generation later.  Today the very same constituency has glommed onto Mike Huckabee, and I can’t help but lament how history truly does repeat itself.

  • Al Gore Opens Mouth, Increases Carbon Footprint

    By Selwyn Duke Speaking today to COOL-IT (Communists for Only Onerous and Lofty Industrial Taxation) in Nome, Alaska, former vice-president Al Gore criticized the United States’ failure to adequately address climate change.  Mr. Gore warned of future consequences of inaction while emphasizing that we have already felt the effects of a lamentably low suicide rate. …

  • How Free Are We Really?

    By Selwyn Duke We Americans take great pride in our freedom.  We call ourselves “the land of the free, home of the brave,” have Lady Liberty in New York Harbor and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.  America is synonymous with freedom in the minds of most.  Much of the rest of the world, however, is…

  • Duke’s WorldNetDaily Article: What We Can’t Say About Black-on-white Crime

    By Selwyn Duke A white man aboard a subway car is taunted, harassed and attacked by a gang of black high-schoolers.  Three white Michigan teens find themselves in the "wrong" neighborhood and are beaten and shot by six black youths. Then there was the case of a white couple that was gang raped, mutilated and…

  • Moslem Group Attacks Michael Savage: The Battle Between Taquiya and Talk Radio

    By Selwyn Duke You will have to forgive me, but I have a difficult time taking the war against Moslem extremists seriously.  No, I haven’t become the latest in a line of anti-American quislings who say the war is “all about oil” or that Islamism is not a threat.  It’s just that I have trouble…

  • Because She’s a Woman

    By Selwyn Duke It’s very easy to fall behind the times.  It is for this reason that you find parents who never seem to really know what the younger generation is involved in, older folks who still act as if a hot dog should be 10 cents, and people who fight yesterday’s social battles.  As…

  • Stereotyping 101

    By Selwyn Duke In a racial profiling lawsuit against the Maryland State Police (MSP), a plaintiff’s attorney named Eliza Leighton said that some training documents contain “startling examples of racial stereotypes about Hispanics.”  (Just so you know, when leftists use the word “startling,” it usually means, “Man, this truth hurts!”)  According to the Associated Press:…

  • Iraq: The Folly of Deifying Democracy

    By Selwyn Duke We hear lots of criticism of the Iraq venture from the left, right and center.  There is everything from silly notions about presidential prevarication to how “it is only about oil” to one-world government conspiracy theories.  Yet, while military action can rise from policy objectives, it’s often ignored that policy objectives tend…
