  • Will a Leftist Takeover of the Military Precede a Leftist Military Takeover?

    By Selwyn Duke When Roman leader Julius Caesar became “dictator for life” in 44 B.C., he had an asset all aspiring despots need: the military’s loyalty. For without boots on the ground, a totalitarian nightmare remains nothing more than an ambitious villain’s dream. This occurs to me when I ponder the repeal of “Don’t Ask,…

  • Damning Charge: Slow NYC Snow Clean-up Was Sanitation Department Budget Protest

    By Selwyn Duke Does the New York City Department of Sanitation have blood on its hands? If an allegation made by the New York Post is true, the answer is a shameful yes. The paper reports that the painfully slow snow clean-up after the recent blizzard that struck the East Coast wasn’t the result of…

  • The Missing Link in the Evolution of Barack Obama

    By Selwyn Duke One of the problems with the idea of “American exceptionalism” is that it exacerbates a kind of complacency common to man.  This is the phenomenon whereby people often view themselves as exceptions, saying, after some tragedy, for instance, something such as “I never thought it could happen to me.” On a national…

  • The Homosexual Agenda: Urine for a Shock

    By Selwyn Duke When dozens of books on homosexual issues were found doused in urine in a Harvard University library, the campus police (HUPD) were quick to label it a “hate crime.” But now it turns out that what could have been construed as an attempt at literary improvement was just the work of an…

  • Ending the TSA Madness: Listen Up, Folks, Here’s How You Win the Profiling Debate

    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…

  • The Feminocracy: Phony Rape Claims against Julian Assange

    By Selwyn Duke You can believe me when I say that I have no affection for Julian Assange. It’s clear that he’s a self-centered publicity seeker who, in grand leftist style, will subordinate the good of others to his own ambitions. But this doesn’t mean I’m incapable of judging him fairly, and, frankly, I’ve never…

  • Killing Our Constitution: Judge Declares ObamaCare Constitutional

    By Selwyn Duke Man’s power to rationalize truly seems to know no bounds. And a good example of sideshow-quality intellectual contortions is brought to us by U.S. District Judge Norman K. Moon, who on Tuesday dismissed a Liberty University lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of ObamaCare. In a 54-page opinion, Clinton appointee Moon used the following…

  • Whoopi Goldberg’s Ignorance

    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…

  • Dangerous United Nations Women’s Treaty Looms on Horizon

    By Selwyn Duke While Americans are thinking about turkey and the TSA (and turkeys in the TSA), as is often the case, the most destructive governmental shenanigans are occurring behind the scenes. On Thursday, November 18, the Senate held hearings on the U.N.’s Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW),…

  • Profile Muslims or Pat Down the Masses?

    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. …
