  • Candy Crowley Plays Biggest Loser with Obama

    By Selwyn Duke You might think that with all the recent focus on media bias in debate moderation, Candy Crowley would have minded her p’s and q’s in last night’s presidential debate. But clearly, she doesn’t even know the ABC’s of her job.

  • Former Obama Aide: The President “Doesn’t Like People”

    By Selwyn Duke Do we have a misanthrope as president? According to a former aide to Barack Obama, Neera Tanden, the answer may be yes. Her comments were made when discussing the relationship between Obama and Bill Clinton and were reported by New York magazine, which wrote: “People say the reason Obama wouldn’t call Clinton…

  • No, We Can’t — Just Get Past Race

    By Selwyn Duke There is this idea among many that we can get past apparent differences by concluding they don’t exist. This is reflected in the now common belief that racial distinctions are mere “social constructs.” In non-egghead terms, that means race is actually imaginary. This idea isn’t just espoused by liberals, but has become…

  • Politicians, Catholicism and the False Equivalence

    By Selwyn Duke You’ve got to hand it to that Joe Biden. He certainly has chutzpah. After all, what do you call it when a man who was banned from receiving Communion diocese-wide by a bishop chastises an apparently more faithful Catholic for a lack of doctrinal purity? I’m of course referring to the vice-presidential…

  • The Truth on Biden’s Abortion Malarkey

    By Selwyn Duke When Joe Biden was asked about abortion in the vice-presidential debate last Thursday, he replied with what, in part, has become boilerplate. “I accept my church’s position on abortion…” he said. “Life begins at conception; that’s the church’s judgment. I accept it in my personal life; I just refuse to impose that…

  • Bus Driver to Conservative Child: “Your Mother Should Have Chosen Abortion for You”

    By Selwyn Duke Actress Stacey Dash was attacked viciously on Twitter after she expressed support for Mitt Romney, with several people telling her “Kill yourself,” another calling her a “hag,” and yet others hurling racial slurs. But even this pales in comparison to the leftist class exhibited by an Obama supporter who harassed a 12-year-old…

  • Obama’s Race-baiting Lies

    By Selwyn Duke Many millions of people have been murdered throughout history due to ethnic and racial hatred. It’s a deadly flaw that man, being tribalistic by nature, tends toward. This is why there are few things more destructive and evil than using lies to stoke the fires of racial animosity. This brings me to…

  • Socially Slow Laughin’ Joe

    By Selwyn Duke One of the most important qualities in a leader — in fact, in anyone who must manage, and negotiate with, people — is having a feel for man’s nature. This brings us to what has not yet been explored about Joe Biden’s bizarre behavior at last night’s vice-presidential debate: what it tells…

  • My Answer for Lloyd Marcus

    By Selwyn Duke “Everything I heard today is true. But, because of racism I suffered in my youth, I can not turn against Obama.” According to conservative writer Lloyd Marcus, the preceding sentiment was uttered by his father, a black man, after the elder Marcus attended the first Black Conservative Press Conference and heard some…

  • Biden’s Strategy: Be a Jerk

    By Selwyn Duke Is there a human being on this Earth more obnoxious than Joe Biden? It appears that the following was his strategy in the vice-presidential debate: Okay, I’ll smile wide like a used-car salesman, shake my head and laugh while Paul Ryan is talking. This will give all watching the idea that everything…
