  • Obama’s America: Bureaucracy Fines Theater $80,000 for Racism

    By Selwyn Duke When you hear that a movie theater was fined $80,000 dollars for discrimination, you might wonder if it refused to hire blacks or promote women. But this wasn’t the case with the Carmike 14 cinema, in Dover, Delaware. What was its Bull Connor moment? Its manager asked patrons to refrain from cellphone…

  • Review of “Trickle Up Poverty”

    By Selwyn Duke As I was listening to Michael Savage’s radio show no more than a year ago, I heard something that might have caused his faithful listeners to scurry for the anti-depressants. (That is, if the host weren’t so steadfast in counseling against their use.) Dejected over his unfair inclusion on a list of…

  • Now Marriage Is Above Obama’s Pay Grade, Too

    By Selwyn Duke Ever since a campaigning Barack Obama dodged an abortion question by saying it was above his pay grade, Americans have learned that economics, foreign policy, constitutionalism, and voting-rights equity, among other things, are as well. And now marriage has joined that list. After the February 23 announcement that Obama had ordered the Justice…

  • Journalist in France Convicted for Anti-Muslim Hate Speech

    By Selwyn Duke We’ve heard a lot about Geert Wilders, the Dutch parliamentarian whose warnings about Muslim influence in his nation place him in the crosshairs of the powers-that-be.  But while the tow-headed modern-day Templar has thus far dodged the hangman on Truth-speech charges, another intrepid defender of Western civilization has not been so lucky. …

  • What Justin Bieber and General McChrystal Have in Common

    By Selwyn Duke Well, Justin Bieber has lost his political virginity.  And it was taken by, of all people, the stoners at Rolling Stone magazine. Excerpts released from an upcoming interview with the teen star included political statements that, as some reading this will know, have earned him criticism in conservative circles.  What fewer in…

  • On Nullification, Just Follow Liberals’ Lead

    By Selwyn Duke It isn’t often that conservatives can learn something from liberals, but I think the current debate over nullification is an exception. As you may know, nullification is the practice whereby a state or locality identifies a federal law as being unconstitutional and simply refuses to enforce it. It is also a practice…

  • Dallas Politician: “All of you are white. Go to hell!”

    By Selwyn Duke Most of you won’t know the name John Wiley Price, but he’s obviously a man well qualified to hold a position at the Eric Holder Justice Department.  What has Price, a Dallas County Commissioner, done to distinguish himself?  He told a group of five citizens during a local-government meeting, “All of you…

  • Democrazy: Egypt and the Eternal Constitution

    By Selwyn Duke A little less than a century ago, the West entertained the notion that WWI would be “the war to end all wars.”  Insofar as this was seriousness and not just selling point, it was naiveté.  Obviously, a military solution cannot solve a moral problem – nor can it change man’s nature.  And…

  • Why GOProud Didn’t Belong at CPAC

    By Selwyn Duke Many say that objection to homosexual group GOProud’s participation in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) convention is much ado about nothing.  And while these critics aren’t necessarily proud of GOProud, they often say that the conservative ranks shouldn’t be creating unnecessary division.  I would agree — but necessary division is a different…

  • The Independent’s Over-the-top Anti-Catholic Bias

    By Selwyn Duke Except for those still caught in the web of the media matrix, it’s no secret that the Fossil Press seeks to destroy conservatism, tradition and Christianity.  It’s also plain that central to this are unrelenting attacks on the Catholic Church.  But a February 5 piece in The Independent written by one Michael…
