  • A Socialist by Any Other Name . . .

    By Selwyn Duke One of the consequences of being right in an age of lies is that it brands you as a radical.  Remember that being an extremist doesn’t mean you’re wrong, but simply that your views deviate greatly from those of the mainstream.  If you say that 2+2=4 in a land where everyone else…

  • Supreme Nonsense

    By Selwyn Duke If you asked people what the role of a Supreme Court Justice was, most wouldn’t know the answer.  I experienced this with a former acquaintance of mine, a septuagenarian millionaire who probably would have been thought sophisticated by most.  He did know that such justices rule on law, but when I asked…

  • Environmentalists Orchestrating Our Oil Woes

    By Selwyn Duke One of the very best columnists on the journalistic scene is Walter Williams.  His articles aren’t filled with flowery prose or esoteric terms (like esoteric!); they just cut to the heart of the matter and provide simple, reasoned analysis.  In fact, I can hardly think of an instance where he has written…

  • Reader Email: Choosing Obama Based on Race is Fine

    By Selwyn Duke Today I’m responding to a reader who is quite dismissive about the truth regarding race and Barack Obama.  He is A.F. and writes:

  • The Real Discrimination Causing the Male/Female Wage Gap

    By Selwyn Duke We all know about the lifespan gap between the sexes that favors women. Now, what if I said it was due to discrimination, that it obviously means men’s health issues are ignored by a callous, misandristic society; thus, government must intervene to balance the scales.

    By Selwyn Duke So Barack Obama has just issued a warning: Lay off my wife!  Upset about the attacks on his unpatrio . . . oh, sorry, I mean, his better half, he said:

  • The Sexes: Wage Gap or Truth Gap?

    By Selwyn Duke Hillary Clinton recently scored political points talking about that infamous wage gap between the sexes.  This inspired Carey Roberts — a writer who mainly focuses on issues relating to feminism — to pen a piece exploring the notion that this gap is attributable to discrimination.  Roberts makes an excellent point as one…

  • When Will We Admit the Truth About Barack Obama?

    By Selwyn Duke If you interview someone for a job, you’ll expect him to tell you what you want to hear. There’ll be a façade, and his darker side will remain well-hidden. Now, let’s say a requirement for the job is that the applicant likes children, and he does his best Captain Kangaroo. But then…

  • Does Bill Want Hill to Lose?

    By Selwyn Duke Writing at The Loft, Cheri Jacobus posits the theory that Bill Clinton’s missteps during the campaign are not missteps at all, but part of a Machiavellian strategy to ensure his wife’s defeat.  In making her case, Jacobus writes:

  • Clinton Wins Pa. — What Were We Talking about?

    By Selwyn Duke So Hillary Clinton has won Pennsylvania, which means the media will have something to talk about for the next week at least.  Really, though, this is much ado about nothing; I mean, for approximately the last couple of months, her chances of winning the nomination have been between slim and none, and…
