  • Why Kagan is Unqualified — and Dangerous

    By Selwyn Duke Despite being thoroughly unqualified to occupy the bench, Elena Kagan will most likely be confirmed to the Supreme Court.  This is because most of our 100 senators are almost as unqualified to judge a judge as she is to be one.  What is the proper criterion to apply?  Well, a simple analogy…

  • The Big Government-Big Business Axis

    By Selwyn Duke If you accept the old stereotype, you believe that big government is a sworn enemy of big business. You believe that, were it not for Washington’s protection, we’d all be under the boot of rapacious robber barons. In reality, however, the two bigs have far more acquaintance with each other than with…

  • Separation-of-Church-and-State Tyranny

    With separation-of-church-and-state prohibitions continuing to metastasize, what lies in the future for Americans of faith? By Selwyn Duke “Religious liberty might be supposed to mean that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it.” So said G.K. Chesterton in his autobiography, published in 1937. A…

  • The States Must Rise Again: The Only Way to Combat Obama’s Socialist Agenda

    By Selwyn Duke With the passage of ObamaCare coming on the heels of government takeover of industries and taxpayer-funded bailouts of the irresponsible, many are wondering how we can turn the socialist tide.  They see Uncle Sam expanding, their rights and economic prospects shrinking and their voices ignored.  For these people, November cannot come soon…

  • Our Problem is a Lack of Health Care — the Moral Variety

    By Selwyn Duke There was, of course, nothing unpredictable about Sunday’s health-care vote.  It was fairly obvious that the Chicago mobsters would, using the Escobarian silver-or-lead principle, scare up the votes needed to pass Obama’s baby.  It was plain that “pro-life” Democrats such as Bart Stupak would, after the requisite posturing, find the rationalization they…

  • Obama Nominee Liu Believes Constitution Half Living, Half Breathing

    Many have described Obama’s 9th-Circuit nominee Goodwin Liu as “brilliant,” but he’s not smart enough to know that rules apply to him also. By Selwyn Duke Like so many people nowadays, Barack Obama’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals nominee is a very confused man. He seems to believe that rules are made to be broken.…

  • Most See Government as Threat to Rights

    By Selwyn Duke Ronald Reagan once said that the nine scariest words in the English language are “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” In thus opining, he was simply reflecting an American tradition that began with the Founding Fathers: a healthy suspicion of government. And, now, despite rampant government dependency, it seems…

  • Guest Commentary: Our Broken Constitution

    By Bruce Walker The recent news stories that Obama intends to implement much of his health care agenda through executive orders shows just how broken the Constitution of the United States has become.  The foundational document of American government provides no legislative power in the presidency – none, zero, nada.  George Washington felt that even…

  • Will Politically Incorrect Opinion Become a Hate Crime?

    By Selwyn Duke Many of us have heard about Geert Wilders, the Dutch parliamentarian currently on trial in Holland because he criticized Islam. It’s shocking to many that you could be charged with a hate crime for expressing an opinion, but such prosecutions are not unheard of in the Western world beyond American shores. After…
