Warning: “Western Civilization Will Disintegrate Without Truth”

February 22, 2026

By Selwyn Duke “Plato is my friend,” ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle reputedly said, “but truth is a greater friend.” This was echoed two millennia later by English scientist Isaac Newton. “Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend,” he said, “but truth is a greater friend.” And today many might say “Plato is my friend,…
Yes, Leftists are “Evil.” Here’s How They Got That Way—and Why You’ll Never Change Them

February 16, 2026

By Selwyn Duke “They are programmed…,” Soviet defector and ex-KGB man Yuri Bezmenov warned decades ago about the ideologues we call “leftists.” “You cannot change their mind…. You are stuck with them.” It’s common for people to say today when contrasting our two major ideological groups, “Conservatives think leftists are misguided; leftists think conservatives are…
Maher, Carolla Unload on Left’s “Drink the Kool-Aid or You’re Dead to Me” Mindset

February 10, 2026

By Selwyn Duke Interestingly, the very first “leftist” revolution provided the very first case of a leftist revolution eating its own. That is, Maximilien Robespierre, the French Revolution’s main author, was opposed to the death penalty while seeking power.

It’s also now agreed with by millions of American young people, citizens who don’t see violence as a means to an end. The may see it as…
The “Fundamental Transformation” of America Began LONG Before Obama — and Is Complete?

January 31, 2026

By Selwyn Duke There’s a funny thing about political battles under representative government. They’re not actually won or lost in the political realm — not ultimately, anyway. No, as the late Andrew Breitbart put it, “Politics is downstream from culture.” And because of our cultural malaise, says one commentator, America is downstream from her best…
Dems’ Midterm Strategy: Hate Trump — and Then Hate Him Some More

January 10, 2026

By Selwyn Duke “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him,” goes the paraphrase of G.K. Chesterton, “but because he loves what is behind him.” This comes to mind when pondering the Democrats’ now long-standing electoral strategy: Hate President Donald Trump. Then hate him some more. Then keep hating…
“Third Wayism”: The New Evangelical Excuse for Retreating From the Political/Cultural War

November 30, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Pontius Pilate has a unique place in history; every even quasi-serious Christian knows his name. Pilate was, of course, the Roman governor who condemned Jesus to death despite acknowledging His innocence. It was easier, you see, and more expedient to publicly wash his hands and declare, “I am innocent of this man’s…
Religious Revival USA: “God Is Back”

November 26, 2025

By Selwyn Duke “Skepticism has never lasted two generations,” said G.K. Chesterton in a 1931 debate with Scopes “Monkey Trial” lawyer Clarence Darrow. “The first generation laughs at the Bible,” goes a later elaboration on the idea. The “second questions the laughter; the third weeps because there is nothing left to laugh at.” And then,…
