  • Breaking Story: Computers with Rigged Honduran Election Results Discovered

    By Selwyn Duke While much of the world has lined up with Manuel Zelaya, the ousted president of Honduras, time and truth do not seem to be his cause's friend. The latest shoe to drop is a shocking Catalan newspaper report stating that Honduran authorities have discovered 45 computers containing election results for an election…

  • Hate-crime Laws Expand, Freedom Contracts

    By Selwyn Duke The Senate has just passed the greatest expansion of federal hate-crime "protections" since the legislation's inception in 1968. While the original law was limited to crimes motivated by race, religion, and ethnicity, the current measure will increase federal scope to cover "sexual orientation," "gender," "gender identity," and disability. With even some conservatives…

  • Should Taxes Pay for Abortion, Secularism?

    By Selwyn Duke Washington, D.C., would be able to use tax money to fund abortions under a $768 million spending bill passed by the House on July 16. An AP story carried by FoxNews.com and other media reports: “The measure passed by a narrow 219-208 margin, with many anti-abortion Democrats voting against it because of…

  • Guest Piece: Work, Jobs, and Wealth

    By Bruce Walker The Left has long confused work, jobs, and worth.  The Stimulus Package, the grand catastrophe, was intended to create and preserve jobs which could make America poorer, not richer. A century ago nearly everyone in America had a “job,” and most had jobs on farms.   Men, women, and children got up before…

  • The Prejudice of Atheists

    By Selwyn Duke Ever since the separation-of-church-and-state ruling in 1947, there has been an ever-intensifying effort to denude our public sphere of religious symbols and sentiments. The latest attack is a lawsuit to prevent “In God We Trust” and the Pledge of Allegiance from being engraved on the newly-built Capitol Visitor Center in Washington, D.C.…

  • Bailing Out Minority Broadcasters

    Selwyn Duke If you understand the relative superiority of the free market, none of our government's recent business bailouts will find favor with you. Yet, while Uncle Sam's involvement in the auto and banking sectors is bad enough, nothing is more bone-chilling than proposals to bailout media. The reason for this should be obvious. If…

  • A Chicken in Every Pot and Healthcare for All

    By Selwyn Duke You're going to be healthy — whether you like it or not. The Obama administration is pushing for a national healthcare bill this summer and Democrats in the Senate are responding, with a Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee measure that would make healthcare both a right and a responsibility. Writes the…

  • Can Obama Spell “Failure”?

    By Selwyn Duke There actually was a time when an “e” ended a political career.  Or, at least, the misuse of an “e.”  I refer to that fateful day in 1992 when Vice President Dan Quayle told a 12-year-old schoolboy that “potato” was spelled with an “e” at its end.  While the reality is that…

  • Bruno: Some Dare Call It Art

    By Selwyn Duke If art imitates life, then life is starting to seem an awful lot like death. This occurs to me when I think about Bruno, the latest film disgorged by English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Cohen, known for doing mock interviews as the characters Ali G and Borat Sagdiyev, has always specialized in…
