  • 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…

  • 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. The above video is an oral presentation of a Michelle Malkin article in which she talks about this outrage and how it has contributed to the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Now, since this is…

  • Our Bailout Culture and the Beauty of Bankruptcy

    By Selwyn Duke The story of the Prodigal Son teaches a beautiful lesson about repentance and forgiveness.  As you may know, it involves a lazy, irresponsible young man who insists upon taking his share of the family inheritance immediately and striking out on his own.  He then proceeds to squander it on a dissolute lifestyle…

  • Bailing Out Big Media

    By Selwyn Duke While a guest on a radio show a few weeks back, a caller asked a question about how the media and leftist government establishment were joined at the hip. In response, I mentioned something I had been pondering. With bailouts all the rage in Washington, said I, it wouldn’t surprise me if…
