  • Is it Time to Expand the Fairness Doctrine?

    By Selwyn Duke In keeping with the demagogue’s credo “Never let a good tragedy go to waste,” some among us are extracting as much mileage from the Jared Loughner massacre as they can.  It is being used to raise money and reduce freedom, with the latter amounting to calls for gun and speech control.  And…

  • Online Society, Offline Civilization: How the Internet is Ushering in the End of the Age

    By Selwyn Duke When people discuss the overall effects of the Internet, they will weigh the good and the bad.  On one side, they may mention how the Web, along with talk radio, has broken the stranglehold over public opinion the mainstream media once enjoyed; on the other, they may cite the pernicious effects of…

  • Ann Coulter, Hate Speech and Human Rights Commissions

    The conservative firebrand tries to hoist the speech-stifling left on its own human-rights petards. By Selwyn Duke Most of us probably remember that standard elementary-school threat, “I’m gonna tell!” which meant that an appeal to authority for redress was in the offing. The one issuing it was sometimes a tattletale, but, regardless, since children aren’t…

  • 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.

  • The Blasphemy Resolution Story: A Clarification

    By Selwyn Duke Recently I wrote a piece titled "Obama Pushing Secular UN Anti-Free Speech Resolution," wherein I reported on Barack Obama's support of a Muslim-inspired United Nations anti-blasphemy resolution. In it I cited a liberal professor named Jonathan Turley, who wrote the following: While attracting surprisingly little attention, the Obama administration supported the effort…

  • Elderly Woman Persecuted for Expressing Christian Beliefs http://youtube.com/v/h0MV3Ls1-BMThis is yet another story about an English Christian being persecuted for voicing her beliefs. In this case the victim is Pauline Howe, who received a visit from the police after writing a letter to local authorities expressing displeasure with a homosexual parade.

  • Free Speech is Dead in England – Conquered by Islam http://youtube.com/v/5PTBIGxJb5A Could you imagine being brought up on criminal charges simply for debating religion with a Moslem? Well, that's exactly what happened to the two English Christians featured in this news report. After Ben And Sharon Vogelenzang engaged in a debate about faith with an…

  • Obama Pushing Secular UN Anti-Free Speech Resolution

    Let’s be clear about two undeniable facts: First, most of the major players in this scheme — that is, the statist leaders of Western nations and the “worldists” at the U.N — are secularists. Second, you could cut the implicit self-righteousness here with a scimitar. Turley and his ilk would leave observers with the impression…
