  • Here is a Great Example of Leftist Insanity http://youtube.com/v/EWVyJ-YG3ewMany people find this funny, but to me it's just pathetic. It's a video of a group of leftist activists talking to the trees in a forest. If only it were a spoof. Ready the straitjackets and rubber trucks.

  • BILL MAHER: Foolish Rambling about Global Warming http://youtube.com/v/KqesgXP6_FYThis segment from Bill Maher's show is a good example of what the sheeple are exposed to, and why they are sheeple. As for Maher, he's living proof of why a little knowledge is dangerous. A more smug man there never was, yet he is as nonintellectual as…

  • How to Handle a Child Brainwashed with Environmentalist Propaganda

    We all know about how children today are being indoctrinated with environmentalist propaganda.  Well, there is a very distressing but not surprising article here about how a survey has shown that one in three American preteens fear an environmental apolcalypse.  But my focus right now is not on the piece but on a comment left…

  • European Environment Minister Calls Green Position on Climate Change “hysterical psuedo-religion”

    By Selwyn Duke BBC News is running a piece about British Environment Minister Sammy Wilson.  He is one of those rare politically-incorrect European public figures, as he scoffs at the notion of anthropogenic climate change.  Writes the BBC: 

  • A Global Population Ice Age

    This article first appeared in the June 23, 2008 issue of The New American magazine. By Selwyn Duke If you’re like most alive today, you grew up with Paul R. Ehrlich’s Malthusian idea of a “population bomb.” It just seems like common sense that man will increase his numbers inexorably until, one day, we find…

  • Democrats: It’s Time to Feign Green

    By Selwyn Duke If you listened to the mainstream media, you’d think conservatives have a monopoly on hypocrisy. If a figure has espoused traditional morality even just once at some point in the past and then falls from grace, our press will descend on him like vultures. You can be a Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy…

  • Demographic Winter

    By Selwyn Duke If you’re a frequent visitor to this site, you might have noticed a recent change, the lefthand-side banner advertisement for a documentary titled "Demographic Winter."  It’s the first ad ever to appear at SelwynDuke.com, and for good reason.

  • Taking a Toll on the PeopleWhy toll roads are absolutely the worst way to raise revenue

    By Selwyn Duke You’re driving north on the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95), heading toward the Big Apple. Cruising along, you pass exits 7, then 8, 9, 10 and 11, and everything is fine.  Then you come to exit 12, and traffic starts to slow down; soon, it’s a New York bumper-to-bumper nightmare, the worst kind.…

  • Enviro-lies

    By Selwyn Duke Upon being asked what wisdom was, the ancient sage Confucius once replied, "Wisdom is, when you know something, knowing that you know it, and when you do not know something, knowing that you do not know it." If this definition is correct, I would say most politicians are sorely lacking in the…

  • Commentary by Walter Williams – 1/18/08

    As usual, my favorite economist (OK, I have a favorite economist; I’m a boring guy), Walter Williams, is right on the money.  In his latest column he talks about the energy czars. Tyranny Update Last December, President Bush signed an energy bill that will ban the sale of Edison’s incandescent bulb, starting with the 100-watt…
