  • Resurrecting John McCain

    By Selwyn Duke How quickly they forget.  Not that long ago, Manchurian candidate John McCain was reviled among traditionalists for siding with the open-borders crowd during the scamnesty debate.  Now, after languishing in campaign purgatory for months, he’s baaaack.  He has vaulted into second place in the New Hampshire Republican Primary.

  • Thought of the Day – The Wisdom of Edmund Burke

    The following are select quotations from the great Irish orator and statesman, Edmund Burke (1729-1797). On Freedom . . . Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites,—in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity,—in proportion as their soundness and…

  • The Huckabee Hustle

    By Selwyn Duke When evangelicals embraced Jimmy Carter during the 1976 presidential campaign, they didn’t know he would repudiate the Southern Baptist Convention a generation later.  Today the very same constituency has glommed onto Mike Huckabee, and I can’t help but lament how history truly does repeat itself.

  • Homosexual Propaganda in California Schools

    WorldNetDaily.com has a must-read piece about how social engineers in Ca. are trying to brainwash children as young as two years old with homosexual propaganda.  Things such as this make my blood boil.  When I read it, I couldn’t help but think of something about millstones and ocean water. 

  • Nancy Pelosi’s Treachery

    By Selwyn Duke In a place that truly meets the definition of the term "nation" — that is, one in which the people have a sense of national identity and a shared concern for the perpetuation of their culture  — certain things just won’t be debated. Like, for instance, the idea that the language of…

  • How Free Are We Really?

    By Selwyn Duke We Americans take great pride in our freedom.  We call ourselves “the land of the free, home of the brave,” have Lady Liberty in New York Harbor and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.  America is synonymous with freedom in the minds of most.  Much of the rest of the world, however, is…

  • Adding Perspective to the Health Care Debate

    By Selwyn Duke Much bad policy is born of a lack of perspective.  This occurs to me when I think about our concerns over health care and the gravitation toward socialized medicine.

  • Some Children Become Human Sooner than Others

    By Selwyn Duke When does an unborn baby become human?  If our contradictory laws are to be believed, it all depends on geographical  location and whether or not the wrong person tries to kill him.  A case in point comes to us from Wisconsin, where a man, Manishkumar Patel, is being charged with first-degree murder…

  • Clinton Admits She Would Push Amnesty if President

    By Selwyn Duke While fielding questions in Iowa yesterday, Hillary Clinton admitted that she would push for amnesty for illegal aliens if elected president.  Of course, this isn’t surprising, as it’s more reiteration than revelation; what is surprising is that she didn’t try to muddy the waters.  Here was Lady MacBeth’s strikingly forthright answer: "I…

  • Thoughts on the News for Today – 11/29/07

    By Selwyn Duke There was some bad news today.  Mike Huckabee — the illegal-alien enabler who I dubbed "Huck the Huckster" — is leading in the last Rasmussen poll for the Iowa caucus.  Now, most of those gravitating toward his campaign are good people, so I must assume that they don’t know about his damnable…
