  • Greenhouse-gas Tax on Cows

    By Selwyn Duke Many of us have long known that the climate-change con is largely driven by a desire to exert further control over our lives and extract more money from us.  But a tax on cow flatulence?   Believe it or not, such a thing could become a reality if a new permit program proposed…

  • The Diamond Anniversary of Dehumanization

    By Bruce Walker Seventy-five years ago, on January 1, 1934, one of the most insidious laws in human history came into effect in Nazi Germany.  The innocent sounding name was The Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseased Offspring.   It was the ghastly pinnacle of an unholy theory of human eugenics.  Darwinism – not the…

  • Illegal Immigrants Getting Mortgages http://youtube.com/v/Zch0gUwcPQ4Most Americans aren't aware of it, but illegal aliens have long been receiving mortgage loans and buying homes.

  • Our Bailout Culture and the Beauty of Bankruptcy

    By Selwyn Duke If anyone subscribes to the militant-secularist notion that the First Amendment prohibits religious symbols and sentiments in government, he should read what follows.  It is a presentation by the Washington Constitution Party comprising acknowledgments of God from all of our 50 states’ constitutions.  At the end there is some commentary.

  • Guest Commentary: Draft Ditka

    By Bruce Walker The Illinois State Legislature is going to quickly remove the power of senatorial appointment from its latest disgraced governor.  That means some other politician will fill the seat held by another politician, all of whom are steeped in the corruption that is Illinois politics.  The bipartisan slime includes the oldest and biggest…

  • The Socialist and the Stone

    By Selwyn Duke When I was still within a stone’s throw of ladhood, I had an acquaintance who was essentially a socialist.  I can’t say for sure he proclaimed himself as such — although I believe he did — but that was certainly where his passions lay.  He was a man of about 60 years,…

  • Illinois Governor Arrested by FBI on Corruption Charges

    By Selwyn Duke The Democrat governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, and his chief of staff, John Harris, were arrested by FBI agents on corruption charges at approximately 6:15 AM today.  The arrests are the result of a three-year federal investigation that involved secretly taping the governor's conversations with the help of his friend and confidant,…

  • Self-esteem: Smells Like Teen Trouble

    By Selwyn Duke There is a reason why G.K. Chesterton once called common sense ". . . that forgotten branch of psychology."  It is because the field can reliably be used to govern your life; all you need do is listen closely to its prescriptions. And do exactly the opposite.
