  • Trying to Kill the Immigration Card

    By Selwyn Duke With the victories of Mike Huckabee and John McCain in the first two primary contests and Mitt Romney’s failures prior to Michigan, a fiction is being bandied about: The anti-amnesty position isn’t playing well in Peoria.

  • Selwyn Duke Reponds to Questions about Election

    By Selwyn Duke The only difference between Bill Clinton and Mike Huckabee is their choice of instruments. After my expose of presidential aspirant Mick Huckabee (properly known as Huck "the Huckster"), I received numerous reader emails wherein people asked me, essentially, who was a better viable alternative.  A few of these emails follow along with…

  • Resurrecting John McCain

    By Selwyn Duke How quickly they forget.  Not that long ago, Manchurian candidate John McCain was reviled among traditionalists for siding with the open-borders crowd during the scamnesty debate.  Now, after languishing in campaign purgatory for months, he’s baaaack.  He has vaulted into second place in the New Hampshire Republican Primary.

  • Illegals Leaving Arizona

    By Selwyn Duke In the wake of Arizona’s new employer-sanctions law, illegal aliens are starting to leave the state.  I want you to remember this when some apologist for Invasion USA says we "can’t deport 12 million people" (the number is probably more like 30 million).

  • The Huckabee Hustle

    By Selwyn Duke When evangelicals embraced Jimmy Carter during the 1976 presidential campaign, they didn’t know he would repudiate the Southern Baptist Convention a generation later.  Today the very same constituency has glommed onto Mike Huckabee, and I can’t help but lament how history truly does repeat itself.

  • Nancy Pelosi’s Treachery

    By Selwyn Duke In a place that truly meets the definition of the term "nation" — that is, one in which the people have a sense of national identity and a shared concern for the perpetuation of their culture  — certain things just won’t be debated. Like, for instance, the idea that the language of…

  • Clinton Admits She Would Push Amnesty if President

    By Selwyn Duke While fielding questions in Iowa yesterday, Hillary Clinton admitted that she would push for amnesty for illegal aliens if elected president.  Of course, this isn’t surprising, as it’s more reiteration than revelation; what is surprising is that she didn’t try to muddy the waters.  Here was Lady MacBeth’s strikingly forthright answer: "I…

  • Getting the Government the Third World Deserves

    By Selwyn Duke When Thomas Jefferson said that “people get the government they deserve,” it was more than just a clever turn of phrase. It also was not an isolated insight but a timeless truth, one expressed by many. William Cowper said, “When was public virtue to be found when private was not?” Benjamin Franklin…

  • Immigration: Solutions, Not Excuses

    By Selwyn Duke One frailty of man is that he is very adept at finding excuses to justify laziness and irresponsibility. There’s no point helping people because everyone is just out for himself anyway. Why study or work? I mean, no one is going to give me a break. I won’t take care of myself…

  • Why They Won’t Assimilate

    By Selwyn Duke In the piece I recently wrote about the threat posed by immigration, both illegal and legal, I mentioned that today’s immigrants are not assimilating into our culture. And, as I pointed out, since Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Reform Act of 1965 has created a situation in which 85 percent of our immigrants hail…
