  • United Nations Pact Could Strip Away Parental Rights

    By Selwyn Duke If the United States ratifies the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), parents could be prohibited from homeschooling, spanking or even choosing the religion of their child. If you’ve ever had to deal with a child-protective-services agency in a more statist part of the country, it’s an experience you’ll…

  • Another “Obama Youth” Video This is a video of middle-school youths dressed military-style and chanting in honor of Barack Obama. To be fair, I’ll point out that the incident was orchestrated by a teacher and was not part of any official program. In fact, it was in violation of school policy, and supposedly the teacher…

  • Black Official Wants Test Made Easier for Blacks; Likens Blacks to Athletes, Not Students

    By Selwyn Duke What do you think of this reasoning: If a given group doesn't perform as well as other groups on a test, then the exam is by definition discriminatory and should be discarded?  This is the rationale that was applied to police-department exams in the 1970s in a bizarre application of government civil-rights…

  • Weimar Amerika

    By Bruce Walker America today stands on the precipice of a full blown depression.  International market forces are making the dollar increasingly weak, and the response of our government is to produce artificial demand by printing vast amounts of currency and credit.  Is this America in 1933 under Franklin Roosevelt?  No, it is Weimar Germany…

  • Europe’s Descent into Dhimmitude

    By Selwyn Duke Article Synopsis: While we wouldn’t know it from listening to the mainstream media, the Islamization of Europe is occurring at a faster rate than anyone imagined. Not only that, the same threat looms here in America, as we are following in the Old World’s footsteps.  One of man’s tragic faults is that…

  • 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…
