  • By Selwyn Duke If Democratic voters were rapidly increasing in number and Republican voters rapidly decreasing, it should be pretty big news, shouldn’t it? Not when at issue is a third rail of American social commentary: race. Recently I wrote a piece on race and voting patterns, using as a lede the story about how…

  • By Selwyn Duke When a big lie is repeated often enough and becomes “truth,” there can be serious consequences. For reality is like a jigsaw puzzle: If too many pieces (little pictures) are wrong, you’ll never be able to assemble them and see the big picture. The result is dislocation from reality. What follows are…

  • By Selwyn Duke When analyzing Barack Obama’s electoral success a few years back, I pointed out that there was more than white guilt at work. He was, quite frankly, what every good little liberal had always been looking for. Sure, he was “black,” using that old bigoted “one-drop” standard, which, curiously, has been embraced by…

  • By Selwyn Duke “Do you know what your problem is?” asked Barack Obama rhetorically of erstwhile “uncle” Reverend Jeremiah Wright; “You have to tell the truth.” This exchange was related to Edward Klein, author of the newly published Obama exposé The Amateur, in an interview that Wright granted the writer. The reverend’s response to the…

  • By Selwyn Duke Bill Clinton once said that he looked forward to the day when whites were a minority in America. While he won’t live to see such a time, a demographic milestone that should send a tingle up Slick Willie’s leg was just reached.  Writes The New York Times: After years of speculation, estimates…

What am I talking about? Barack Obama’s coming out party notwithstanding, the question in this debate should never be one of…

  • By Selwyn Duke If a recent Rasmussen poll showing Barack Obama trailing Mitt Romney by seven points is any guide, the president’s advocacy of marriage destruction is costing him support. This is no surprise. It has been said that Obama’s motivation for his announcement was the desire to raise money from his homosexual, and other…

  • By Selwyn Duke They say "Jolly is the fat man," but perhaps not when he's being chased (and, I'm sure, caught) like a Frankenstein monster by the Body Cult crazies.  And that is the case today, as it has become fashionable to affront the friendly-fronted. It seems most anything goes now: bloated houses, bloated egos,…

  • By Selwyn Duke So another mask has dropped.  Barack Obama made history yesterday in becoming the first president to announce support for faux marriage. And on January 20th, 2009 he made history in becoming the first president who supports faux marriage.

  • By Selwyn Duke There has been much talk about how Arab Spring “democracy” will allow the rise of Islamist parties and thus devolve into tyranny. What is seldom discussed, however, is how the vaunted Western republics that lecture the world on the finer points of freedom are heading toward the same fate. While there are…
