By Selwyn Duke One thing that saddens me about the TSA security controversy is that we’re missing a great opportunity. Sure, the insanity of patting down three-year-old, blonde-haired lasses and octogenarian grandmothers with prosthetics has caused a great backlash, as more and more people are realizing that our government’s common-sense-blind approach is born of a…

By Selwyn Duke Since I’m well aware of how leftists’ claims of erudition are as empty as their ideology, not many of their failures surprise me. But an exception came last Tuesday when Whoopi Goldberg was interviewed by Bill O’Reilly. The two were discussing their differing views on the nature of the Islamic threat, with…

By Selwyn Duke With all the bad press the TSA has received recently, we can’t be sure if the acronym stands for Transportation Security Administration, Touches Sensitive Areas or Truly Scandalous Attention. But, for sure, its pat downs and sci-fi radiation screeners give many of us another good reason to avoid the increasingly unfriendly skies. …

To many, his stance proves he’s a Muslim, with a recent poll showing that almost 20 percent of Americans hold that opinion;…

By Selwyn Duke While the Obama administration has chosen the southern side in the Mexican-Arizonan border war, most Americans stand with their countrymen. They are troubled by the strain illegals place on services, the drugs and thugs moving north and blue-collar job prospects moving south. Then there is another factor: the political and cultural one.

By Selwyn Duke Shortly after Barack Obama was elected, one of his supporters, alluding to George W. Bush’s supposedly lacking intellect, said to me, “I’m just happy to have someone intelligent in the White House.” I’m sure Rahm Emanuel would be very flattered. Whatever you think of Bush, admittedly, his habitually knotted tongue did give…
