  • Congressman Etheridge Assaults Student

    By Selwyn Duke A shocking video released today shows Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-N.C.) assaulting a student who asked him a question on a public sidewalk. The 71 seconds of footage opens with a student in a jacket and tie greeting Etheridge with “Hi, Congressman, how are you?” The Representative seems to respond cordially enough but…

  • Why Arizona Should “Racially Profile”

    By Selwyn Duke When the Times Square bombing suspect was first reported to be a “white male,” I shook my head.  I knew that, despite Mayor Bloomberg’s asinine musings about how the perpetrator was probably “homegrown” and perhaps someone upset about the healthcare bill, this was nonsense.  “It’s about as likely as a story about…

  • Cinco to Midnight: The Great Mexican End Game

    By Selwyn Duke Recently, columnist Charles Krauthammer expressed support for amnesty for illegals, while Newt Gingrich advocated a path to what he called “legality.” The two men stipulated that border control must come first, but, still, what makes these two conservatives such weak sisters on this issue?  Perhaps part of the answer was provided by…

  • Charles Krauthammer Drops the Hammer on Conservatism and America: Supports Amnesty for Illegals

    By Selwyn Duke Perhaps Charles Krauthammer has lunched one too many times with Linda Chavez, but he’s starting to sound more like Harry Reid than the conservative standard bearer he’s reputed to be. On the O’Reilly Factor this on May 4, he supported a “path to citizenship” for illegals, otherwise known as amnesty. To be…

  • Shameful Media Malpractice and the Catholic Church

    Who is really lying about sexual abuse, the Church or the media? By Selwyn Duke If the pen is mightier than the sword, misuse of it can be a murderous act. As my faithful readers know, I’ve devoted much ink lately to the media abuse scandal — that is, their abuse of the Truth in…

  • Is Genocide Against Whites Coming to South Africa?

    By Selwyn Duke Back in the 1980s, South Africa figured prominently on the West’s radar screen. Protests against apartheid were everywhere; the movement even inspired a song: “Sun City.” With the fall of the apartheid regime in 1994, however, people lost interest in the faraway land. But with the murder of Eugene Terreblanche, leader of…

  • Are the Church Abuse Cases Problems of Homosexuality?

    By Selwyn Duke Contradiction is no stranger to the mainstream media, and it is on full display in their treatment of the Catholic-priest sexual abuse story.  Normally, the media take pains to point out that transgressors should not be used to typify the group with which they’re associated.  For instance, when terrorism is covered, we’re…

  • 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…

  • The Insincere Media Hit Job on the Catholic Church

    Sexual abuse is always a scandal, but there is only one unique scandal in the recent coverage of the Catholic Church. And those responsible don’t wear clerical collars.By Selwyn Duke It’s hard to say when the media became so concerned about the sexual abuse of youth, but I do have the time frame narrowed down…

  • The Scandal Driving the Church Sex Scandal

    By Selwyn Duke We’ve all heard the story.  Hundreds of young sexual-abuse victims long afraid to come forward for fear of embarrassment and scorn, abusers escaping prosecution and quietly moving to different jurisdictions, authorities covering up the crimes to avoid scandal and litigation.  It’s a saga of grave, grave sin.
