  • Michelle Obama Criticizes America at UN for Treatment of Women

    By Selwyn Duke In a recent address to a United Nations education event, First Lady Michelle Obama decided to shine the light on a certain nation’s treatment of women. No, it wasn’t Saudi Arabia where females aren’t allowed to drive, or the Congo where rape is brutal and systematic. It was the United States. Here’s…

  • Obama Prohibits FBI From Scrutinizing Muslims When Seeking Domestic Terrorists

    By Selwyn Duke Could you imagine if the government had prohibited consideration of ideology (Nazi leanings) in identifying possible internal threats during WWII? That’s exactly how many critics might analogize new rules handed down by Attorney General Eric Holder that hamstring the FBI, rules disallowing the use of religious factors in the pursuit of terrorist…

  • Sex Education for Five-year-olds — Pushed by Pedophiles

    By Selwyn Duke Unfortunately, when it comes to sexualizing young children, what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas. Sin City is certainly earning its nickname, becoming the latest municipality to consider explicit sex “education” for tender-aged children — as young as five years old. The proposed curriculum would apply to all of Clark County,…

  • Black-on-white Violence Rampant, Ignored by Authorities and Media

    By Selwyn Duke Imagine you’re walking down the street and someone sucker punches you, breaking your glasses and swelling your lip. Your attacker then continues raining down blows upon you, spits on you, and pejoratively refers to your religious orientation while provoking you to fight. Imagine this happens in front of tens of witnesses who…

  • Liberal BBC Asks, “Is Sport Sexist?” While Promoting Inequality

    By Selwyn Duke It long ago became clear to me that, despite all the pretense, protesting and politicking, no one who has ever seriously thought about equality actually believes in it. When making this case, one could point to how Eric Holder’s DOJ is currently suing the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally (how…

  • Women More Likely to Commit Domestic Violence, Studies Show

    By Selwyn Duke Football player Ray Rice’s video-captured February attack on his then-fiancée has once again brought domestic violence into the public’s consciousness. Or has it? Critics would say that while it has placed a spotlight on violence against women, that isn’t at all synonymous with “domestic violence.” Because studies show that most domestic violence…

  • Who Abuse Women More, Liberal or Conservative Men?

    By Selwyn Duke "Is that all you got, George?” “You punch like a sissy,” Muhammad Ali said, taunting George Foreman during their 1974 heavyweight title fight. Little did anyone know, however, that Ali’s words were stinging women like a bee, making violence against them more likely. That’s a theory, anyway, disgorged by football commentator James…

  • Religion: Crutch for the Crazy or Panacea for Peon and Prince?

    By Selwyn Duke “Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers,” said then-Minnesota governor and ex-professional wrestler Jesse Ventura in 1999. It’s a common idea. Atheism’s point man Richard Dawkins has called even disorganized religion a crutch, author Robert Heinlein expressed this secular tenet through one of…

  • If You Want to Get into a Really Big War, Elect a Liberal

    By Selwyn Duke If I pointed out that involvement in every major 20th-century conflict the US was part of occurred on liberals’ watch, it might not be entirely fair. True, there was WWI under Wilson, WWII under FDR, Korea under Truman, and Vietnam under Kennedy and Johnson. But the second Great War needed to be…

  • Scottish Independence and the Failure of Multiculturalism

    By Selwyn Duke We’re supposed to be living in the era of consolidation of power. There’s the European Union and the euro, NAFTA and ambitions for a North American Union, and former Israeli president Shimon Peres even floated the idea of a UN-style Organization of United Religions. And isn’t this the tide of history? Just…
