  • The Race for the American Mind

    By Selwyn Duke Last year’s scamnesty bill had widespread support among the powers-that-be, with the president, the Democrat majority and mainstream media all singing its praises. Yet it went down to defeat, slain by a new-media coalition of talk radio and blogosphere warriors.  Working tirelessly to expose the truth and rally the grassroots, they became…

  • Canadian Publisher Investigated for “Hate Speech”

    By Selwyn Duke In a day or two I will publish a piece about the battle for free speech being waged throughout the West.  Thus, it’s quite apropos that I came across the story of Ezra Levant, a Canadian publisher and commentator who is being investigated for "hate speech" by one of those euphemistically-named "human…

  • Chris Matthews in the Dog House

    By Selwyn Duke Liberal pundit and host of "Hardball," Chris Matthews, has actually run afoul of the  politically-correct thought police.  I have no use for Matthews’ commentary and generally don’t watch his show, but, not surprisingly, this is one of the few times I agree with him.

  • The Media’s Inescapable Bias

    By Selwyn Duke I happened to tune in to a documentary last night titled "God’s Christian Warriors."  It’s one segment of a three-part series on religion that is the handiwork of veteran reporter Christiane Amanpour.  It caught my eye while watching the program guide, as I expected the usual anti-Christian double standards.  I was not…

  • Thoughts on the News for Today – 11/28/07

    By Selwyn Duke With the federal government’s abdication of its responsibility to secure the border, many local governments have stepped into the breach.  These cities and towns are fed up with the feds and are starting to enact laws designed to rid their jurisdictions of invaders. 

  • Moslem Group Attacks Michael Savage: The Battle Between Taquiya and Talk Radio

    By Selwyn Duke You will have to forgive me, but I have a difficult time taking the war against Moslem extremists seriously.  No, I haven’t become the latest in a line of anti-American quislings who say the war is “all about oil” or that Islamism is not a threat.  It’s just that I have trouble…

  • Oh, So Brave: Artists Afraid to Mock Moslems

    By Selwyn Duke Whenever an artist creates a work that impugns tradition or mocks Christianity, it is often said that he is "brave" for challenging the "status quo."  Of course, the status quo they’re challenging is that of bygone days, the one that, like an old soldier, didn’t die but just faded away.  Thus, these…

  • Billionaires Aiding and Abetting the Enemy

    By Selwyn Duke During WWII, the medium of film was used to great effect in the combating nations’ war efforts.  Adolf Hitler had his propaganda filmmaker extraordinaire, Leni Riefenstahl, who exalted Nazi Germany.  But such film footage was used to demonize as well, and we certainly characterized the Japanese in less than flattering terms.  (The…

  • When Bad Journalism Meets Bad Science

    By Selwyn Duke If you believe "evolutionary theorist" Oliver Curry, man will divide into two distinct species after approximately another 100,000 years.

  • Revealing Left-wing Media Bias

    The British Broadcasting Network (BBC) has tipped its hand.  It has just been revealed that its employees have exposed their leftist leanings at the networking website "Facebook."
