  • Hate Speech Phonies

    By Selwyn Duke There are some people in the media who are content to recycle thoughts on a regular basis — I guess you could call it groundhog-day commentary.  I’m not one of them, so when I find it necessary to address hate-speech laws — something I’ve treated thoroughly — part of me just wants…

  • Environmentalists Orchestrating Our Oil Woes

    By Selwyn Duke One of the very best columnists on the journalistic scene is Walter Williams.  His articles aren’t filled with flowery prose or esoteric terms (like esoteric!); they just cut to the heart of the matter and provide simple, reasoned analysis.  In fact, I can hardly think of an instance where he has written…

  • Reader Email: Choosing Obama Based on Race is Fine

    By Selwyn Duke Today I’m responding to a reader who is quite dismissive about the truth regarding race and Barack Obama.  He is A.F. and writes:

  • Hitler and Christianity

    By Selwyn Duke    Long ago, during the darkest chapter of the 20th century, a movie was released entitled Hitler’s Children. While the film is virtually forgotten, I cannot forget a certain scene involving some words a Nazi official uttered to a dissident, a heroic Catholic bishop. Dripping with contempt, the officer said (I’m paraphrasing),…

  • The Real Discrimination Causing the Male/Female Wage Gap

    By Selwyn Duke We all know about the lifespan gap between the sexes that favors women. Now, what if I said it was due to discrimination, that it obviously means men’s health issues are ignored by a callous, misandristic society; thus, government must intervene to balance the scales.

  • The Crime of Being White

    By Selwyn Duke Just recently I wrote a piece about Keith John Sampson, a college student who was charged with “racial harassment” for reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan book. Not surprisingly, the article evoked a great response, including emails from those with their own stories to tell about persecution inspired by what I will call…

  • European Court to Hear Chimp’s Plea for Human Rights

    By Selwyn Duke First there was the German Constitution, which actually contains a provision for animal rights, and now the "European Court of Human Rights" (another entity we should scrap) will hear a Chimps’ plea to be declared a "person."  Writes ThisisLondon.co.uk:

  • Obama’s Chivalry

    By Selwyn Duke So Barack Obama has just issued a warning: Lay off my wife!  Upset about the attacks on his unpatrio . . . oh, sorry, I mean, his better half, he said:

  • The Sexes: Wage Gap or Truth Gap?

    By Selwyn Duke Hillary Clinton recently scored political points talking about that infamous wage gap between the sexes.  This inspired Carey Roberts — a writer who mainly focuses on issues relating to feminism — to pen a piece exploring the notion that this gap is attributable to discrimination.  Roberts makes an excellent point as one…

  • California Supreme Court Overturns Laws Upholding Marriage

    By Selwyn Duke It seems that judicial adventurism is as old as our republic itself. Lamenting such usurpation, Thomas Jefferson once said, "The original error [was in] establishing a judiciary independent of the nation, and which, from the citadel of the law, can turn its guns on those they were meant to defend, and control…
