  • Professor Wants to Commit “Genocide” Against Western Civilization

    By Selwyn Duke Westerners used to believe they were heirs to the greatest civilization to ever grace God’s green Earth. They then descended into a culturally relativistic mentality stating, “Who’s to say one civilization is better than another?” The next transition was a cynical, “Meh, we’re not so hot.” Then there was the full-bore hatred…

  • Attacking America: Columbus Day Being Replaced With “Indigenous Peoples Day”

    By Selwyn Duke In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. In 2015 he’s thought quite mean — at least by some people. And as a result, a movement to replace his holiday with a politically correct one is picking up steam. Read the rest here.

  • Seeing Red: Will Communists Take Over Spain?

    By Selwyn Duke “What’s so bad about communism?” a teenager once naively asked me. It was an illustration of how freedom can be lost in one generation because knowledge of history can be. And one nation perhaps poised to repeat the Marxist mistake of the past is Spain, where a new political party — described…

  • Obama’s History ?01: “Islam Has Been Woven Into the Fabric of Our Country Since Its Founding”

    By Selwyn Duke You’ve probably never heard of Founding Fathers named Gamal bin Washington and Thamar Jefferson, and neither has Barack Obama. But this didn’t stop him from making the claim that “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding.” While speaking in the White House’s South Court Auditorium during…

  • The Modern Crusaders Fighting ISIS

    By Selwyn Duke You might have heard about those people hailing from Western countries going off to fight where ISIS reigns. Or maybe not. No, these aren’t the jihadists who speak flawless French or English and leave the comfort of their Occidental cocoon to aid the Islamic State terrorists. Rather, they’re driven by a desire…

  • Terrible Deeds in Christ’s Name? Obama Displays Ignorance of History

    By Selwyn Duke Barack Obama (shown at National Prayer Breakfast) certainly makes his share of mistakes, from believing there’s a language called “Austrian” to claiming to have been to “57 states” to pronouncing “corpsman” “corpse-man” three times in the space of one minute. But while many of his displays of ignorance hurt mainly his own…

  • Whither Islam? Religion of Peace or Religion of War?

    By Selwyn Duke "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.” — Koran (8:15) Every holy book contains some very unholy words, they say. If you presented certain select verses from the Bible in isolation, it would seem equally violent,…

  • Michelle Obama in 1954

    By Selwyn Duke Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco — and Michelle Obama left her brain in 1954. Addressing graduating high-school students the other day in the Topeka, Kansas, school district, the federal lunch lady said, referring to the Brown v. Board of Education decision, “[Y]our experience here in Topeka would have been…

  • Twisting Children’s Minds with School Textbooks

    By Selwyn Duke If you saw a book stating that America was not a republic but a democracy, that a role of our government was to “socialize the young,” and with a picture labeled “Muslim scholars studying with the Greek philosopher Aristotle,” you might think it was a work of bad fiction, not an American…

  • We Might be Muslim Today if….

    By Selwyn Duke The year is 632 A.D., and Muslim hordes have set their sights on the Mideast and North Africa — the old Christian world. And the Caliphate, as the Islamic realm is called, will not be denied. Syria and Iraq fall in 636. Palestine is next in 638. And Byzantine Egypt and North…
