  • Where Obama Was 99-Percent Pure

    By Selwyn Duke In a 1936 referendum on his policies, Adolf Hitler “won” 99 percent of the German vote. A popular fellow he was. Yet he had nothing on Barack Obama’s performance in 13 Philadelphia (mental?) wards, where the president received upwards of 99 percent of the tally. Philly.com reports on the story, opining that…

  • Obama Calling: America’s Life after Death

    By Selwyn Duke I have never been so unhappy to be right. I’ve long said that Barack Obama would win re-election, and two weeks ago I stated as much in print. In making this prediction, I was almost alone among traditionalist pundits, with some, such as Dick Morris (Mr. Batting Zero), actually forecasting a Mitt…

  • On Angels and Demons

    By Selwyn Duke When actor and director Mel Gibson was asked some years ago about certain difficulties he had when making his film The Passion of the Christ, he registered a countenance of unease and said (I’m paraphrasing), “Something doesn’t want this to happen.” Being just a couple of seconds of his interview, it was…

  • My Prediction for the Election

    By Selwyn Duke It doesn’t make me happy to say it, but I believe that Barack Obama will win re-election. In fact, I predicted this more than two weeks ago here. Now I’ll provide more detail and give you my prediction for how the Electoral College will break down.

  • Barack Obama: Anatomy of an Ideologue

    By Selwyn Duke As with G.W. Bush before him, much time is spent arguing about Barack Obama’s character. Does he mean well and just not govern well, or is it something else? What can be missed during this debate, however, is that most damage is done in the name of doing good. Consider, for instance,…

  • If You’re Not Reading This, Please Don’t Vote

    By Selwyn Duke “I'm guessing that as soon as I walk into the voting booth, I'll probably make up my mind then.” So said undecided voter Kerry Ladka, appearing on Greta Van Susteren’s program after the second presidential debate. He had just compared and contrasted the candidates, giving Mitt Romney the edge on the economy,…

  • Should Sandy’s Victims Get Your Tax Money?

    By Selwyn Duke Living near the coast in the Northeast, I see the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy firsthand. Many have been without power for days; there are long lines at gas stations; some supermarket shelves are bare; and, more to the point here, some in vulnerable areas lost their homes. And because the storm…

  • Can Democrat-leaning Voting Machines Win Election for Obama?

    By Selwyn Duke Imagine you go to the polls and choose Mitt Romney on an electronic machine, but your vote comes up Barack Obama. So you re-enter your choice, but the president’s name still stubbornly appears. Then a third try. Ditto. Innocent malfunction…or something else? Whatever the case, this has already happened to voters in…

  • When 16-year-olds Can Vote

    By Selwyn Duke If they don’t get wisdom from the mouths of babes, that’s okay. Votes are all they really want. In Argentina, President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her ruling Victory Front coalition have succeeded where certain American leftists have thus far failed. They have passed a bill allowing 16-year-olds to vote. The desire…

  • When Feminists Criminalize “Sexist” Speech

    By Selwyn Duke If you want to know what Barack Obama and his fellow travelers have planned for us, you need look only at what their cutting-edge cousins have already implemented overseas. For example, hate-speech laws have long been used in Europe and other parts of the “Western” world to punish people for criticizing Islam…
