  • Guest Piece: The Stalingrad of Sovietism

    By Bruce Walker Twenty years ago, the Kremlin lost its own Battle of Stalingrad:  Communist Poland formally legalized Solidarity, a labor union that truly was a labor union.  In 1943, after the Battle of Stalingrad, it was certain that Hitler could not “win” the war (i.e. he could not achieve the sort of military advantage…

  • Yes, Rush, I hope Obama Fails, Too

    By Selwyn Duke Ever since President Obama (PBUH) dropped Rush Limbaugh's name recently, the talk-show host has figured prominently in the news.  And now he is being attacked by the mainstream press — and truly odious entities such as MoveOn.borg — for saying that he wants Obama (PBUH) to fail.  It is being portrayed as…

  • Why Sex Education is Doomed to Failure

    By Selwyn Duke Florida legislators want to force schools to teach sixth-graders about contraception and stop touting the benefits of sex within marriage. One of the latest battles in the culture war over sex education is being waged in Florida, where a lawmaker has said that touting marriage is “offensive” and that such discussion belongs…

  • Guest Piece: The Grimness of True Social Justice

    By Bruce Walker What is the oldest mantra in the Cult of the Left?  Fairness:  the odd idea that the function of government is to make life fair.  Social justice is another name for this jihad in favor of absolute equality.  The Left begins with redistribution of wealth and progressive tax rates, but it usually…

  • The Artificial Reality of the Matrix Media

    Selwyn Duke A common defense of error today is to say, with deep indignation, “I have a right to my opinion!”  Legally this is true, given that our First Amendment is extant.  But as G.K. Chesterton once said, “Having the right to do something is not at all the same as being right in doing…

  • On the Brink of Climatic Disaster: The Coming Ice Age

    By Selwyn Duke Politicians can’t talk enough of carbon taxes and credits and cleaner technologies, but are they just fiddling while Rome freezes? If the climate were a sentient adversary with a will, he might be laughing right now. Because while mankind is doing a Chicken Little worrying about anthropogenic global warming (AGW), nature just…

  • Guest Piece: The Reality of Sustainability

    By Jack Swift (Editor's note: This piece is one of the most brilliant analyses of our economic problems I have read.) What is Sustainability? The recent election focused upon the American voter’s dis-satisfaction with the state of our government and the state of our economy. Each campaign played upon this angst by pitching “change” but…

  • Man Allowed in Women’s Athletic Event . . . and Wins It

    By Selwyn Duke A man undergoes the mutilative procedure known as “gender-reassignment surgery” and then wins the women’s division of golf’s premier long drive championship. There was a time when a sexual identity crisis was thought a problem of adolescence and only discussed in psychology journals. But now our whole civilization is experiencing one, as…

  • Valkyrie: The Real Col. von Stauffenberg

    By Selwyn Duke On a sultry July day in 1944, a man walks into the "Wolf's Lair" carrying a briefcase. He is initiating a bold plot, one that aims to assassinate one of the world's most ruthless and powerful men, Adolf Hitler, and topple the whole of his Nazi government. Integral to this ambitious coup…

  • The Diamond Anniversary of Dehumanization

    By Bruce Walker Seventy-five years ago, on January 1, 1934, one of the most insidious laws in human history came into effect in Nazi Germany.  The innocent sounding name was The Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseased Offspring.   It was the ghastly pinnacle of an unholy theory of human eugenics.  Darwinism – not the…
