  • By Selwyn Duke In one of the most heinous crimes imaginable, a 15-year-old Florida boy was set ablaze by five other teens in a revenge attack stemming from a dispute over a video game. The victim, Michael Brewer of Deerfield Beach, suffered mainly second-degree burns on 65 percent of his body and is currently hospitalized…

  • I have an important message here today. Most who call themselves conservative do not — they do not — understand the liberal enemy confronting them. What I mean is, you’re not going to reason liberals out of their misguided notions. How could you? How can you reason with a group that says the Truth is…

  • I’m not the first to note how thoroughly solipsistic the First Lady’s speech was (Joe Gimenez did a very good job here). This is because it was so painfully obvious. She wasn’t singing the praises of the Windy City; it was Windy Michelle talking about what may be her favorite topic: herself. Confusing advocacy with…

  • And it seems this expanded presidential role may now be accompanied by an expanded president’s ego and expanded peasant mentality. For example, there was a recent Harpo Productions video featuring Hollywood types such as Ashton Kutcher that was shown in at least one elementary school.

By Selwyn Duke Just a few short months ago, few imagined that Barack Obama would have trouble marshalling a Democrat majority for one of his major initiatives. He was the…

  • By Selwyn Duke With relativistic people, there is no such thing as a true axiom, yet you’d never know it listening to our modern mantras.  We hear things such as “Our strength lies in our diversity,” “Religion has caused all the wars in history,” and “Everything is a matter of perspective” proclaimed with theological assurance. …

  • From G.K. Chesterton's St. Thomas Aquinas (1933): Since the modern world began in the sixteenth century, nobody’s system of philosophy has really corresponded to everybody’s sense of reality; to what, if left to themselves, common men would call common sense. Each started with a paradox; a peculiar point of view demanding the sacrifice of what…

  • By Selwyn Duke It's hard to imagine anything more evil: a woman kills a friend so that she can steal her unborn baby by ripping it from her womb. But it has happened before in recent years, and now it has happened again in Worcester, Massachusetts. Boston.com reports on the crime, writing, Julie Corey, 35,…
