  • Rats and Socialized Medicine

    By Selwyn Duke Out of Britain comes a story about a teenager who decided against having an operation because he was told that there might be a dead rat in the operating room.  Ah, another one of the beauties of socialized medicine. 

  • WorldNetDaily – Planned Parenthood: Wanting fewer blacks ‘understandable’

    The bigoted ideas of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger are well documented.   She is a woman who once said, "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population." Now, WorldNetDaily.com writes of a sting operation indicating that her spirit lives on within the organization.  WND columnist Bob…

  • Making Government Indoctrination Compulsory

    By Selwyn Duke It’s hard to think of anything more near and dear to our hearts, anything of which we’re more protective, than our children. It’s also hard to imagine a more important right than that to raise one’s children in accordance with the dictates of a well-formed conscience. Now, though, the 2nd Appellate Court…

  • Vindicating My Assessment of Most Voters

    By Selwyn Duke I just issued a piece titled "Why Most Voters Shouldn’t Vote," and it has evoked a great response.  Virtually all the emails have been positive, by the way, but I nevertheless would like to buttress its thesis.  So I’m providing a couple of links to Sean Hannity’s "Man on the Street" interviews,…

  • Why Most Voters Shouldn’t Vote

    By Selwyn Duke Often the most fanciful ideas become the least questioned assumptions. In this election season a few have made themselves apparent, such as the notion that “change” is good by definition and “experience” is definitely good. Yet an even better example is the oft-repeated platitude that greater voter participation yields a healthier republic.

  • Is South America on the Brink of War?

    By Selwyn Duke It has received scant attention in the midst of our election season jostling, but a very explosive situation has developed in South America.  The Washington Times treated the matter yesterday, writing:

  • A Woman on Women

    By Selwyn Duke I must say that my eyebrows were raised by a piece by Charlotte Allen titled "We Scream, We Swoon. How Dumb Can We Get?"  She writes about her incredulity at how emotion driven and bereft of logic so many of her fellow women are.  Now, it’s not the subject matter that shocked…

  • The Mother of All Freudian Slips

    By Selwyn Duke When we use the term "Freudian Slip," it’s usually in reference to some ironic but meaningless slip of the tongue.  We might poke some good-hearted fun at the possessor of the slipped tongue, but we know we’re making sport of him and don’t really attach much importance to his mistake.  Yet, if…

  • Obama’s Terrorist Associations

    By Selwyn Duke Author Jonah Goldberg was on Hannity & Colmes last night talking about another one of Barack Obama’s unseemly associations.  He pointed out that the Illinois Lip once consorted with Bill Ayers, a former Weather Underground terrorist who set off bombs as part of his campaign against America.

  • An Apology for Slavery?

    By Selwyn Duke During the past year, five states have apologized for slavery, and now there’s an effort to follow suit in Congress.  Personally, I find this sickening.  And I’d like to make something clear: If our esteemed "leaders" issue such an apology, they do not do so on my behalf.  Leave me out of…
