  • Ending the TSA Madness: Listen Up, Folks, Here’s How You Win the Profiling Debate

    By Selwyn Duke One thing that saddens me about the TSA security controversy is that we’re missing a great opportunity.  Sure, the insanity of patting down three-year-old, blonde-haired lasses and octogenarian grandmothers with prosthetics has caused a great backlash, as more and more people are realizing that our government’s common-sense-blind approach is born of a…

  • The Feminocracy: Phony Rape Claims against Julian Assange

    By Selwyn Duke You can believe me when I say that I have no affection for Julian Assange. It’s clear that he’s a self-centered publicity seeker who, in grand leftist style, will subordinate the good of others to his own ambitions. But this doesn’t mean I’m incapable of judging him fairly, and, frankly, I’ve never…

  • Killing Our Constitution: Judge Declares ObamaCare Constitutional

    By Selwyn Duke Man’s power to rationalize truly seems to know no bounds. And a good example of sideshow-quality intellectual contortions is brought to us by U.S. District Judge Norman K. Moon, who on Tuesday dismissed a Liberty University lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of ObamaCare. In a 54-page opinion, Clinton appointee Moon used the following…

  • Whoopi Goldberg’s Ignorance

    By Selwyn Duke Since I’m well aware of how leftists’ claims of erudition are as empty as their ideology, not many of their failures surprise me.  But an exception came last Tuesday when Whoopi Goldberg was interviewed by Bill O’Reilly.  The two were discussing their differing views on the nature of the Islamic threat, with…

  • Dangerous United Nations Women’s Treaty Looms on Horizon

    By Selwyn Duke While Americans are thinking about turkey and the TSA (and turkeys in the TSA), as is often the case, the most destructive governmental shenanigans are occurring behind the scenes. On Thursday, November 18, the Senate held hearings on the U.N.’s Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW),…

  • Profile Muslims or Pat Down the Masses?

    By Selwyn Duke With all the bad press the TSA has received recently, we can’t be sure if the acronym stands for Transportation Security Administration, Touches Sensitive Areas or Truly Scandalous Attention.  But, for sure, its pat downs and sci-fi radiation screeners give many of us another good reason to avoid the increasingly unfriendly skies. …

  • U.S. Left: Onward Muslim Soldiers

    By Selwyn Duke When I think of modern America, conjured up is an image of a boxer who, while sometimes bobbing, weaving, blocking, and occasionally directing a blow with his right, intermittently hits himself in the head with his left. I also might then imagine how the other man in the ring would laugh upon…

  • Understanding the Election Results beyond Skin Deep

    By Selwyn Duke In just the way some voters believed that Obama’s 2008 ascendancy heralded a new era of hope-and-change leftist hegemony, it’s easy to view the November 2 elections as the beginning of an unstoppable tidal wave of Tea Party triumph. But while I can get caught up in moments just like anyone else…

  • When the Democrat Party Left You Behind

    By Selwyn Duke Many years ago, a very nice lady with whom I was having a political discussion announced to me, “I’m a Democrat.”  My immediate response was, “By birth or by choice?”  It’s a relevant question for many Americans, as some treat party affiliation as if it’s akin to ethnicity.  It can work like…

  • Caught Red-handed: CBS Reporters’ Scheme to Undermine Republican Joe Miller

    By Selwyn Duke In a case of JournoList redux, mainstream media reporters have again shown that their business is propaganda, not news.  In a shocking voicemail accidentally left on the cell phone of Alaska GOP senatorial candidate Joe Miller’s spokesman, Randy DeSoto, journalists can be heard scheming to manufacture stories for the purposes of undermining…
