  • Guest Piece: Finance Capitalists and Scapegoats

    By Bruce Walker The doctored outrage at AIG executives raises one of the ugliest specters in modern political history:  mindless fury directed at “Finance Capitalism.”  The profits of men who create goods and services is easy to defend.  Bill Gates gave us Windows.  T. Boone Pickens and Ross Perot drilled for oil.  Sam Walton retailed…

  • Why Stop With Global Warming?

    By Bruce Walker The heavy artillery of the Left has been wheeled into a line of barrage:  global warming is real; global warming is man-made; and if government does not stop, terrible things will happen.   This means  that we cannot save ourselves unless we are willing to make draconian sacrifices, to surrender our liberties to…

  • Duke Responds to Poster: In Defense of the White Man

    By Selwyn Duke Not surprisingly, my recent piece "In Defense of the White Man," evoked a tremendous response (emails are still coming in).  Also not surprising is that some of them were negative and expressed some very common misconceptions relating to the article's subject matter.  Because of this, and being that the issue at hand…

  • In Defense of the White Man

    By Selwyn Duke While many believe that prejudice has diminished over time, it’s not really true.  Prejudice is much like the wind: Its direction changes, and the sheltered and well-situated may not sense it, but it’s always blowing on some people somewhere.  Put literally, every age has its fashionable biases – and unfashionable people.

  • Guest Piece: The Descent of Darwinism

    By Bruce Walker Darwin was born two hundred years ago this month.  A serious and decent man, Darwin’s name has become connected with modern Darwinism. Today the Theory of Evolution of Species by Natural Selection has been mystically elevated from a “Theory” into a “Law,” which it is not.  As a working theory, evolution by…

  • Guest Piece: The Stalingrad of Sovietism

    By Bruce Walker Twenty years ago, the Kremlin lost its own Battle of Stalingrad:  Communist Poland formally legalized Solidarity, a labor union that truly was a labor union.  In 1943, after the Battle of Stalingrad, it was certain that Hitler could not “win” the war (i.e. he could not achieve the sort of military advantage…

  • Valkyrie: The Real Col. von Stauffenberg

    By Selwyn Duke On a sultry July day in 1944, a man walks into the "Wolf's Lair" carrying a briefcase. He is initiating a bold plot, one that aims to assassinate one of the world's most ruthless and powerful men, Adolf Hitler, and topple the whole of his Nazi government. Integral to this ambitious coup…

  • The Diamond Anniversary of Dehumanization

    By Bruce Walker Seventy-five years ago, on January 1, 1934, one of the most insidious laws in human history came into effect in Nazi Germany.  The innocent sounding name was The Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseased Offspring.   It was the ghastly pinnacle of an unholy theory of human eugenics.  Darwinism – not the…

  • Miracle in the Trenches: The WWI Christmas Truce

    By Selwyn Duke The scene was the dreaded “no man’s land” separating dank and dreary trenches during WWI. It was, as the name implies, a forbidding place, one which modern weaponry had transformed into a moonscape on which even stout-hearted warriors feared to tread. The conflict waged there was dubbed “the War to End All…

  • Church in State

    By Selwyn Duke If anyone subscribes to the militant-secularist notion that the First Amendment prohibits religious symbols and sentiments in government, he should read what follows.  It is a presentation by the Washington Constitution Party comprising acknowledgments of God from all of our 50 states’ constitutions.  At the end there is some commentary.
