  • Democrats: It’s Time to Feign Green

    By Selwyn Duke If you listened to the mainstream media, you’d think conservatives have a monopoly on hypocrisy. If a figure has espoused traditional morality even just once at some point in the past and then falls from grace, our press will descend on him like vultures. You can be a Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy…

  • Written in the Eternal Constitution

    This article originally appeared in the April 14, 2008 issue of The New American magazine. By Selwyn Duke Sixty years before Christ's birth, great orator and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero watched plaintively as his republic faded before his eyes and Julius Caesar became the first Roman emperor. As today, some felt betrayed by their leaders,…

  • Howard Dean: Republicans the “White Party”

    By Selwyn Duke So Howard "Dumbo" Dean is at it again.  In the interview excerpt above, he calls the Republican Party the "white party" while touting the inclusiveness of the Democrats. It’s really amazing that the Democratic National Committee allows this buffoon to be their standard bearer.  I mean, he really is the gift that…

  • Why John Edwards’ Affair Matters

    By Selwyn Duke It has become a stereotypical pattern with men. A lad with a salad-days libido has a girl in every port, plays fast and loose with feelings and breaks hearts. Then he gets older, marries, has a daughter, and becomes very protective. He doesn’t want her dating guys who are just like he…

  • The Moralists of San Francisco

    By Selwyn Duke In the latest bid by the new-morality police, the City by the Bay has decided to prohibit pharmacies from selling cigarettes. And this is just the beginning; the left is chock full of good ideas about how government can save us from ourselves.

  • Breaking: Russia at War

    By Selwyn Duke Russian jets bombed a Georgian airbase just outside the Georgian capital Tbilisi on Friday, and today Russia sent perhaps as many as 150 tanks into the breakaway Georgian province of South Ossetia in support of Russian separatists in the area.  Reports Reuters:

  • Americans Who Fled to the Soviet Union

    By Selwyn Duke There is a price to be paid for embracing lies.  This truth is never more evident than in an almost-forgotten story from American history: The depression-era emigration of Americans to the Soviet Union. 

  • Barack Obama and Defining Anti-Americanism Downwards

    By Selwyn Duke If Barack Obama sought to win the votes of Germans, he need seek no more. Of course, his new image was all the rage in the Old World long before he gave his July 24 speech in Berlin.  Along with the mainstream media and murderer Dale Leo Bishop, Senator Sweetness and Light is…

  • Obama Let His 3-year-old Daughter Listen to Rap

    In response to the vile rap song hip-hop star Ludacris recently made in support of  Barack Obama, the senator’s campaign issued the following statement: "As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn’t want his daughters or any children…

  • Principal Fired for Pushing Anti-homosexual Agenda

    By Selwyn Duke If there ever was an example of inmates running an asylum, it’s the modern government-school system. Thanks to numerous court rulings, students can now buck authority with the freedom to wear clothing and espouse political and social messages that their school – perhaps reflecting the wider community’s standards – deems objectionable.
