  • Italy: Little Schoolchildren Cross-dress Under New Gov’t Program

    By Selwyn Duke "Girls will be boys and boys will be girls; it's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world….” In 1970, this was just a song lyric. In 2015, though, it increasingly is part of school curricula. And the latest news on this front is a shocking story about a taxpayer-funded elementary-school program…

  • Colonization and Cultural Genocide — and They Call it “Immigration”

    By Selwyn Duke Have you heard about the millions of Chinese flooding into Tibet? With their displacement of the native peoples and the supplanting of Tibetan with Chinese culture, anthropologists and human rights activists have labeled the colonization “cultural genocide.” (See here, here, here, here, and here, for example.)  It is a cause célèbre with…

  • Obama’s Justice Dept. Wants Names of Internet Commenters Who Trashed Judge

    By Selwyn Duke In an age where a British politician was arrested for publicly quoting legendary statesman Winston Churchill, it’s not surprising that a loose Internet comment can get a person in trouble. And this may be what’s happening in the case of six Internet posters whom the federal government believes issued “threats” against a…

  • Seeing Red: Will Communists Take Over Spain?

    By Selwyn Duke “What’s so bad about communism?” a teenager once naively asked me. It was an illustration of how freedom can be lost in one generation because knowledge of history can be. And one nation perhaps poised to repeat the Marxist mistake of the past is Spain, where a new political party — described…

  • Our Sexual Cancer: Metastasizing as the Band Plays On

    By Selwyn Duke When looking back on ex-heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali’s Parkinson’s disease, boxing fans will generally talk about how compromised he was in his last several bouts. In reality, the condition likely manifested itself long before in relatively mild symptoms some mistook for normal aging. And so it is with cultural disease: Observers will…

  • Now the Government Wants to Ban Holding Your Breath

    By Selwyn Duke If you want our freedoms restored, well, as they say, don’t hold your breath waiting — especially since holding your breath may soon be against the law, at least in a certain context. In an effort many would described as the nanny-state run amuck, there’s a movement afoot to ban “prolonged breath…

  • Supreme Constitutional Trespass: Marriage

    By Selwyn Duke Courts and marriage, courts and marriage; they go together like a cat and carriage. With the Supreme Court possibly poised to strike down the remaining state bans on official recognition of same-sex relationships, it’s lamentable, but important to note, that things have gone this far only because of a universal failure to…

  • Homosexual Boy Scout Leaders=Preferential Treatment for Homosexuals

    By Selwyn Duke Fresh off making people’s eyes roll with a ban on water-gun play fights, the Boy Scouts of America has found an even better way to lose members: propose that homosexuals be allowed to serve as Boy Scout troop leaders. Wow, what could possibly go wrong? The suggestion came from Boy Scouts of…

  • Proposed Federal Law: Don’t Sway People from Homosexuality — or Else

    By Selwyn Duke In the beginning, the homosexual agenda was about the right to be an “out” homosexual without government interference. Now it’s about using the government to prohibit efforts to get out of homosexuality. And the latest attack on this front is the ominously named “Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act” (TFPA), which would ban same-sex-attraction…

  • The U.K. Election and the Myth of Dying Liberalism

    By Selwyn Duke When someone describes his location and says he’s right or left, the obvious answer is “Of what?” It’s interesting that we never ask this in politics. This could occur to one given the recent headlines after U.K.’s May 7 election, in which the Tories defied pollsters and won a resounding victory. Business…
