  • The Obama Youth

    By Selwyn Duke It really does seem that the more evil a movement is, the more likely it is to enlist children in its cause.  (Well, they really do make beautiful little human shields.)  In the above video, 22 young, impressionable victims of misguided parents are singing a song in homage to Barack Obama as…

  • Boy Suspended for Wearing Anti-Obama T-shirt

    By Selwyn Duke Daxx Dalton is a very principled boy. At the tender age of 11, not only does he have political passions, he is willing to wear them on his shirtsleeve (or at least his back) and go to the mat for them. Thus, when Aurora Frontier K-8 School made him an offer he…

  • Was Civilization Always Promiscuous? Duke Responds to Poster

    By Selwyn Duke It was quite a while ago that the sun set on the British Empire, and now it may be setting on British civilization as well.  Writes TimesOnline.co.uk:

  • Political Elections, Cultural Elections, and the Votes that Really Matter

    By Selwyn Duke To be honest, treating politics isn’t my favorite pastime. Sure, like other commentators I do it, but it’s not something I can truly sink my teeth into. I’ll explain why momentarily. This election season, my pen has directed many slings and arrows Barack Obama’s way. I criticized John McCain, too, but that…
