  • The Morality of Economics

    By Selwyn Duke Like everyone else, I pen my share of pieces about politics. Yet it’s not my favorite topic, as I have an issue with weighty matters. But it’s not that I tend toward frivolity – it’s that politics just isn’t important enough. 

  • Race in the Third Millennium

    By Selwyn Duke Although the show was propaganda produced by leftist Norman Lear, no one could accuse “All in the Family” of not being funny.  Its protagonist, blue-collar bigot Archie Bunker, is one of those legendary television characters, and one of his uproarious lines is apropos here.  It was uttered during a scene in which…

  • Wisdom from a Great Black Leader

    They say the more things change, the more they stay the same.  As the following quotations from Booker T. Washington indicate, at times this can certainly seem true.  Read them, and see if they remind you of anyone you know (or, to be more precise, know of) but wish you didn't.

  • Kenyan Ambassador Says Obama Born in Kenya! http://youtube.com/v/zH4GX3Otf14In this revelatory audio footage from the show "Mike in the Morning," the Kenyan ambassador Peter Ogego lets it slip that it's "well-known" Barack Obama was born in Kenya. The hosts asked the ambassador some light-hearted questions and engaged in some banter before casually asking him about Obama's…

  • Ex-KGB Defector on Demoralization in America http://youtube.com/v/qlpODYhnPEoThis is a very interesting video a reader sent me featuring Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov. He was a KGB man who was trained in subversion and who has some very interesting things to report about how communists work to corrupt the judgment and degrade the will of a targeted…

  • O’Reilly the Culture Warrior Doesn’t Understand the War

    By Selwyn Duke Quite a while ago, I wrote a piece titled "Conservatism is Dead; Long Live Conservatism?" in which I explained the process by which the right loses the culture war and why the I won't call myself a "conservative."  A good example of the fault I describe in the article was exhibited on…

  • Responses to “Obama: Fear and the Security Force”

    My recent piece, "Obama: Fear and the Security Force," evoked more responses than perhaps any other article I've ever written.  Many of them were very worthwhile contributions, and I've chosen three that I'm sure you'll find interesting.  In the first one a reader posits a theory as to the purpose behind Barack Obama's Universal Voluntary…

  • Morphing Marriage in California

    By Selwyn Duke It’s said that history repeats itself. Nevertheless, we seem to live in unprecedented times, and a case in point is the issue of faux marriage. There certainly have been civilizations that accepted homosexuality – the ancient Spartans institutionalized it in their military training camps, for example – but I don’t know of…

  • Obama: Fear and the Security Force

    By Selwyn Duke In all my life I have never seen such intense emotion surrounding a leader as that evoked by Barack Obama. Even Ronald Reagan, the Gipper himself, didn’t enjoy the kind of prostration of the will offered to the president-elect by hordes of followers. Yet, while people the world over are imbued with…

  • Where Does Obama Get His Ideas? Mao?

    By Selwyn Duke Most of us have heard about how Barack Obama has lifted language from others, people such as Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.  It’s what prompted Hillary Clinton to say in one of the primary debates that Obama’s words didn’t constitute change you can believe in but ". . . change you can Xerox"…
