  • Killing Charity

    “Outsourcing” charity to the government is not only inefficient, it’s not charity. Worse still, it’s evil. By Selwyn Duke A while back I read about a woman whose college professor had told her not to give to charity. His reasoning? It’s the government’s job. I wonder, would the good professor maintain this perspective were he…

  • Time to Turn Up the Heat on the Warmists

    By Selwyn Duke At one time some would call them “deniers.”  The more generous called them “skeptics.”  But now, increasingly, it appears that they can be called something else: sane.  Yes, the climate has certainly changed. Even in the mainstream media, the less liberal organs are waking up.  There is now a never-ending barrage of…

                      Do we really know our right from our left? By Selwyn Duke There is something G.K. Chesterton called the “degrading slavery” of being a child of your age. It is the inability to think outside the box of time and place — and most people fall victim to it. I think about this when…

  • Guest Commentary: Fabian Conservatism

    By Bruce Walker Conservatives , the overwhelming majority of Americans, are angry with the Republican Party leadership and how politics has been  played since Ronald Reagan left office.   Often Republican nominees have seemed to copy Bill Clinton’s “triangulation” or strategically placing themselves as the arbitrators between conservatives and leftists.   McCain luxuriated in fawning media coverage…

  • Guest Commentary: An Old Film with a Vital Message

    By Bruce Walker Turner Movie Classics on February 27th showed its viewers My Son John, a 1952 film which Robert Osborne advised his audience had been deliberately put out of circulation since soon after it was released.  In his introduction to the film, Osborne acknowledges that the film’s stars and producers were first rate.  The…

  • Recalling the History of RINOs

    By Bruce Walker As a Republican victory in 2010 becomes increasingly likely, conservatives need to understand that the fight to keep the Republican Party really stand for something is not new.  In the last eighty years, except for Reagan and Goldwater, every Republican presidential nominee has been what we today would call a RINO.  Does…

  • The Real Problem with Pro-choice Men

    A commentator wonders why pro-choice men aren’t as numerous or as vocal as their pro-life counterparts. But the answer is so simple that only a pro-choice pundit could miss it. By Selwyn Duke Sometimes you just have to be thankful for your enemies. Case in point: The maelstrom surrounding the pro-life Super Bowl ad starring…
