  • A Strange Conception of “Cutting the Fat”

    By Selwyn Duke A New Mexico lawmaker aims to cut the fat – not in government, but through it. Educator-turned-legislator Gail Chasey (D) has proposed a measure dubbed the "Leave No Child Inside" bill, which would levy a 1 percent excise tax on televisions, video games and video game equipment to fund programs designed to…

  • Thomas Sowell’s Piece: A ‘Stimulus Package’?

    The great economist Thomas Sowell just wrote an article about the perils of government intervention and stimulus packages.  He writes: Both political parties seem determined that the federal government should create a "stimulus package" of things designed to cushion a downturn in the economy. That alone should be enough to make us remember that "the…

  • NOW Slams Ted Kennedy

    By Selwyn Duke It’s a beautiful thing when leftists start to eat their own.  The New York chapter of the National Organization for Women has harshly condemned Ted Kennedy for his endorsement of Barack Hussein Obama. 

  • Hitchens on the Clintons: Fool Me Thrice

    Christopher Hitchens has certainly been training his sights on the Clintons lately, and he does another great job skewering them is his piece "Fool Me Thrice — It should be no surprise that the Clintons are playing the race card."

  • The Truly Un-American Tax

    By Selwyn Duke It’s hard to think of anything more un-American than real estate taxes.  We’ve been conditioned to accept them, of course; we grew up with them.  But did you ever think about what such taxes actually amount to? 

  • John McCain Again

    By Selwyn Duke Yesterday I wrote about John McCain’s association with Juan Hernandez, an activist for illegal aliens.  There isn’t much more to say, except that if he will surround himself with such unsavory individuals when seeking office, what should we expect of him once he attains it? Think about it.   

  • John McCain: Tell Me Who Your Friends Are and I’ll Tell You Who You Are

    By Selwyn Duke To those who get their information from sources other than campaign propaganda, it’s no secret that John McCain believes in amnesty for illegals.  Not surprisingly, however, this isn’t a position he touts on the stump.  This is why it’s quite startling that he would choose an illegal-alien enabler as his Hispanic outreach…

  • The Slickster Strikes Again

    By Selwyn Duke Well, Bill Clinton is once again being Machiavellian.  He now has publicly stated that his wife and John McCain are "very close" and that a race between them would be "the most civilized in history."

  • Why Fascism and Liberalism are Joined at the Hip

    Some works deserve to live on, as they are timeless.  Such is the case with a piece authored by a man named Ace Walker, an obviously gifted writer who demonstrates that, contrary to popular belief, fascism is actually a product of the left.  This is something we traditionalists have long understood, but I’ve never seen…

  • Update on Dutch Moslem Politician Who Sent Nasty Email to Native Dutchman

    By Selwyn Duke "’You filthy idiot. WE ARE HERE TO STAY hahahahahahhahah DROP DEAD.’  That’s an email by a Dutch Labour Party politician to a constituent." So writes James Lewis, giving us an update on the Dutch Moslem politician who sent a nasty email to an "infidel" citizen.
