  • Barack Obama: Elitist, but Not Elite

    By Selwyn Duke Barack Obama has made his opinion of small town America known, and he doesn’t hold it in very high regard.  Speaking at a San Francisco fundraiser on Sunday, Senator Sweetness and Light said:

  • Inside Information About the Sub-prime Mortgage Crisis

    By Selwyn Duke Writer Marilyn Barnewall has written a piece about the sub-prime mortgage crisis titled "Dollar Woes: Part of a One World Government Conspiracy?"  Marilyn is a fine lady who I occasionally correspond with, and she also used to work in the banking industry.   Thus, she can offer a rarely-heard perspective on the situation…

  • Anti-Islamist Film “Fitna” Released Amidst Controversy and Condemnation

    By Selwyn Duke Weathering a maelstrom of controversy, Geert Wilders’ cinematic warning about Islamism has finally made it to cyberspace.
