  • Divided We Stand: A Traditionalist Manifesto

    By Selwyn Duke Conservatives are generally very nice people — who never saw a culture war they couldn’t lose. That is to say, we often hear cracks about how Barack Obama and his ilk may “evolve” on issues, but conservatives exhibit that tendency, too, and their evolution goes something like this: “Marriage is between one…

  • Why Putin is Right About America

    By Selwyn Duke As perhaps history’s most famous atheist, Friedrich Nietzsche understood that the death of Christian morality would usher in moral relativism and social breakdown. This truth is now largely ignored in an increasingly atheistic West, but it has found an unlikely — and, some would say, incredible — ally in Russian president Vladimir…

  • Judge Says Boys Claiming Girlhood May Use Girls’ Restroom

    By Selwyn Duke America’s “firsts” aren’t what they used to be. Where they once included putting a man on the moon and heavier-than-air flight, now they’re trillion-dollar deficits, a trillion pieces of metadata NSA-processed, and six-trillion-dollar foreign military adventures. And coming to you straight from Maine is another fantastic first. Writes Yahoo News: School officials…

  • Why Is the Southern Poverty Law Center Trying to Crush a Small Jewish Organization?

    By Selwyn Duke It seems as if certain purported civil-rights activists think homosexuals are like some organized-crime groups: you can join the gang, but the only way you can leave is feet first. A case in point is a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey against JONAH International — a Judaic organization…

  • Andrew Cuomo: An Extreme Statement From an Extreme Man

    By Selwyn Duke God’s moderation is man’s extremism. This occurs to me when considering the remarks recently made by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. As you may know, the governor addressed a Republican schism while a guest on the New York Public Broadcasting radio show “The Capitol Pressroom” and said, “Extreme conservatives who are right-to-life,…

  • Ducking the Real Issue on Duck Dynasty

    By Selwyn Duke This past December, the Duck Dynasty television show became “duck and cover,” with the forces of pinkness going nuclear on its patriarch, Phil Robertson, after he uttered some words about the most victimey of victim groups. For those who missed the story, the saga began when GQ interviewer Drew Magary asked Robertson…

  • Feminism’s War on Women

    By Selwyn Duke When decades ago feminists promised to liberate women, they didn’t say it would be liberation from morality. But the movement that once protested the viewing of females as sex objects, now is turning them into sex rejects. A case in point is Feminista Jones, who recently appeared on the Jesse Lee Peterson…

  • Thus Spake the Potheads

    By Selwyn Duke It’s starting to appear as if marijuana users have become the homosexual lobby of the chemically dependent. What do I mean? Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson could mention one sexual behavior (adultery) as disqualifying someone from the “kingdom of God,” but mentioning that “other” sexual behavior? That’s a boycottin’, pardner! Likewise, there’s no…

  • Forget Christie; Let’s Talk about Big Fat Traffic Jams

    By Selwyn Duke One unmentioned irony of the Chris Christie road-revenge scandal is that the powers-that-be finally found a traffic jam they didn’t like. Now, don’t get me wrong, having always lived in the NY metropolitan area and often having wanted to split a vein while in the midst of the NY/NJ road experience, I…

  • Influential Beats: The Cultural Impact of Music

    By Selwyn Duke The Devil really is a fellow of wine and song, Playing a tune that trades right for wrong. The tone-deaf man will hear his notes and say, What could be wrong with being festive and gay? And when a sad tomorrow that tune does bring, Few will know that from their own…
