  • 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?

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…

  • Read a Book, Get Charged with Racial Harassment

    By Selwyn Duke The May 9 edition of the New York Post carries a short article by an Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis student named Keith John Sampson. He tells a story of being charged with "racial harassment" simply because he was "caught" reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan book. I’m not kidding. Sampson tells his story:

  • Is Tax Money Subsidizing Useless Energy Schemes?

    By Selwyn Duke    I’d appreciate a viable alternative energy source as much as anyone else.  After all, who wouldn’t like to run his car for a third or fourth the cost?  I don’t have much confidence in government schemes to develop those new sources, however, and the May 12 edition of The Wall Street…

  • Tobacco, Tolerance and Truth

    By Selwyn Duke To paraphrase that great man of letters, G.K. Chesterton, “There will come a time when people consider smoking a cigar to be more offensive than abortion.” Given that the jolly philosopher left us for the ethereal typewriter in the sky in 1936, it’s amazing how prescient he was.

  • Reader Email: On Who Shouldn’t Vote

    By Selwyn Duke I received an email from a young man who is addressing a very interesting topic.  Here is his email:
