  • Yet another Call to Overhaul Healthcare . . . This Time in Canada

    By Selwyn Duke In his captivating book The Screwtape Letters, the great philosopher C.S. Lewis noted that change is meant to be a means to an end and that it is only the destroyers of civilization who try to convince us that it is an end unto itself. It is an alluring mantra, that change…

  • My Liberal Fans Just Can’t Get Enough

    By Selwyn Duke So I see that the deep thinkers over at Sadly, No! picked up on my piece "All the President's Bigoted Men" and have much to say about me.  That's right, not the piece — me.  Their comments are an interesting read if you'd like some insight into liberal "intellectualism" (yikes, even with…

  • All the President’s Bigoted Men

    By Selwyn Duke When Barack Obama said that the Henry Louis Gates affair was a teaching moment, he spoke truly.  But the key is ensuring that the right things are taught and the right people learn. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to happen. There is no need to rehash the events of July 16 chapter and…

  • Resurrecting the Right-wing Militia Bogeyman

    The Southern Poverty Law Center is up to its old tricks, demonizing conservatives and playing the race card for profit. By Selwyn Duke Until a long time after Napoleon's death, English mothers would admonish their children with, "Be good or Nappy will get you." Well, now we hear, be vigilant or the "racist" righties will…

  • Empty Cradles, Demographic Destiny and the Death of the West

    By Selwyn Duke While the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding was good cinema, it was also a big fat Hollywood fiction.  With Greece’s fertility rate of 1.36 children per woman — well below the replacement level of 2.1 — “big” is not a modifier demographers would associate with today’s Greek families.  In fact, a…

  • Demographic Sleight-of-hand

    Contrary to the conventional narrative about European demographic decline, a trio of researchers claims that increased prosperity is now causing Old World birthrates to rise. But what are the statistics behind the statistics? By Selwyn Duke Although there are still some kept awake by Soylent Green nightmares of overpopulation, many recognize that the developed world…

  • Tuesday’s Savage Nation Appearance — Britain Ruled by Knaves: Savage Banned to Fill White Man Quota

  • American Thinker Blog Piece: Liberating the Third World with the Chains of Liberalism

    By Selwyn Duke I would like to comment on the August 4 piece titled "Avoiding the Next Obama" and commend the author, L.E. Ikenga, for a job well-done.  She articulated nicely something I've long lamented: the virulence of the virus of liberalism.  It is so virulent, in fact, that it spreads like wildfire even throughout…

  • Woman Murdered, Baby Cut from Womb

    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,…
