  • If You’re Not Reading This, Please Don’t Vote

    By Selwyn Duke “I'm guessing that as soon as I walk into the voting booth, I'll probably make up my mind then.” So said undecided voter Kerry Ladka, appearing on Greta Van Susteren’s program after the second presidential debate. He had just compared and contrasted the candidates, giving Mitt Romney the edge on the economy,…

  • Should Sandy’s Victims Get Your Tax Money?

    By Selwyn Duke Living near the coast in the Northeast, I see the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy firsthand. Many have been without power for days; there are long lines at gas stations; some supermarket shelves are bare; and, more to the point here, some in vulnerable areas lost their homes. And because the storm…

  • Can Democrat-leaning Voting Machines Win Election for Obama?

    By Selwyn Duke Imagine you go to the polls and choose Mitt Romney on an electronic machine, but your vote comes up Barack Obama. So you re-enter your choice, but the president’s name still stubbornly appears. Then a third try. Ditto. Innocent malfunction…or something else? Whatever the case, this has already happened to voters in…

  • When 16-year-olds Can Vote

    By Selwyn Duke If they don’t get wisdom from the mouths of babes, that’s okay. Votes are all they really want. In Argentina, President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her ruling Victory Front coalition have succeeded where certain American leftists have thus far failed. They have passed a bill allowing 16-year-olds to vote. The desire…

  • When Feminists Criminalize “Sexist” Speech

    By Selwyn Duke If you want to know what Barack Obama and his fellow travelers have planned for us, you need look only at what their cutting-edge cousins have already implemented overseas. For example, hate-speech laws have long been used in Europe and other parts of the “Western” world to punish people for criticizing Islam…

  • Why Accept Contraception as a Women’s Issue?

    By Selwyn Duke While many points have been made about this campaign’s contraception controversy, there’s one that I haven’t yet heard anyone mention. Why do we accept contraception as a women’s issue?

  • If 51 Percent of the Congress Were Women…

    By Selwyn Duke While watching television Friday evening, I was shocked to see my state’s junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, in a campaign ad. After all, this is New York and she’s a Democrat, which translates into anonymity for her opponent and her enjoyment of about an 87 point lead in the polls (okay, I lied;…

  • Obama the Classless

    By Selwyn Duke When Barack Obama called Mitt Romney a bull******* in a Rolling Stone interview recently, it was reminiscent of something involving a man who truly fits that description. What I’m referring to has to do with the 1990s, an intern, and America’s increasingly interned morality. After Bill Clinton said that he didn’t consider…

  • Obama Gets Endorsement of Voting Machine in N.C.

    By Selwyn Duke It’s the little voting machine that could. In Guilford County, North Carolina, some residents who cast ballots for Mitt Romney found their votes switched to Barack Obama. Writes MyFox8.com: [Bur-Mil Park voter] Sher Coromalis … says she cast her ballot for Governor Mitt Romney, but every time she entered her vote the…

  • Barack Obama is a Liar

    By Selwyn Duke Calling someone a liar is a serious accusation. This is why, aside from the unwritten contract allowing for mutual prevarication, politicians are so reluctant to do it. And not just anyone is a liar. Legend has it that our first president said, “I cannot tell a lie,” but, being only human, G.W.…
