  • Guest Piece: The Stalingrad of Sovietism

    By Bruce Walker Twenty years ago, the Kremlin lost its own Battle of Stalingrad:  Communist Poland formally legalized Solidarity, a labor union that truly was a labor union.  In 1943, after the Battle of Stalingrad, it was certain that Hitler could not “win” the war (i.e. he could not achieve the sort of military advantage…

  • Yes, Rush, I hope Obama Fails, Too

    By Selwyn Duke Ever since President Obama (PBUH) dropped Rush Limbaugh's name recently, the talk-show host has figured prominently in the news.  And now he is being attacked by the mainstream press — and truly odious entities such as MoveOn.borg — for saying that he wants Obama (PBUH) to fail.  It is being portrayed as…

  • Obama: No New Nukes

    By Selwyn Duke While there is some question as to whether President Obama has the resolve to prevent rogue nations from developing nuclear capability, he certainly is assuring that we don't maintain ours.  It has come to light that he is locking horns with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who is advocating the replacement of our…

  • Why Sex Education is Doomed to Failure

    By Selwyn Duke Florida legislators want to force schools to teach sixth-graders about contraception and stop touting the benefits of sex within marriage. One of the latest battles in the culture war over sex education is being waged in Florida, where a lawmaker has said that touting marriage is “offensive” and that such discussion belongs…

  • Guest Piece: The Grimness of True Social Justice

    By Bruce Walker What is the oldest mantra in the Cult of the Left?  Fairness:  the odd idea that the function of government is to make life fair.  Social justice is another name for this jihad in favor of absolute equality.  The Left begins with redistribution of wealth and progressive tax rates, but it usually…

  • Obama: Selling Capitalists the Hope

    By Selwyn Duke Man's propensity for rationalization is truly amazing.  I know of a couple of men of faith who, even shortly before the election when an Obama victory was a given, were in denial and predicting a McCain win.  And these are true believers — not in the faux messiah-in-chief but in the real…

  • The Artificial Reality of the Matrix Media

    Selwyn Duke A common defense of error today is to say, with deep indignation, “I have a right to my opinion!”  Legally this is true, given that our First Amendment is extant.  But as G.K. Chesterton once said, “Having the right to do something is not at all the same as being right in doing…

  • On the Brink of Climatic Disaster: The Coming Ice Age

    By Selwyn Duke Politicians can’t talk enough of carbon taxes and credits and cleaner technologies, but are they just fiddling while Rome freezes? If the climate were a sentient adversary with a will, he might be laughing right now. Because while mankind is doing a Chicken Little worrying about anthropogenic global warming (AGW), nature just…

  • Guest Piece: The Reality of Sustainability

    By Jack Swift (Editor's note: This piece is one of the most brilliant analyses of our economic problems I have read.) What is Sustainability? The recent election focused upon the American voter’s dis-satisfaction with the state of our government and the state of our economy. Each campaign played upon this angst by pitching “change” but…

  • Flight 93 Memorial Rife with Moslem Symbolism; Points toward Mecca http://youtube.com/v/Y4z1QN6m_QIIt seems fairly obvious that the the planned Flight 93 memorial in Pennsylvania was designed around Moslem symbolism. The architect denies it, but, as others have pointed out, architects are intensely aware of symbolism, so it's not believable that the design is an accident. It's…
