By Selwyn Duke Unlike for most Americans, the Delaware senatorial primary was not my first introduction to Christine O’Donnell. I remembered her from as far back as approximately 15 years ago, making appearances on shows such as “Politically Incorrect.” So when I heard about her supposed “extremist views,” I had to wonder if I was…

By Selwyn Duke When writing about Barack Obama’s religious orientation recently, I pointed out that while I do believe he favors Muslim over Western culture, bowing before another — even God — is above his humility grade. I further mentioned that in keeping with this self-centeredness, Obama is (like all leftists) someone who denies moral…

Chesterton in his autobiography, published in 1937. A…

Who is really lying about sexual abuse, the Church or the media? By Selwyn Duke If the pen is mightier than the sword, misuse of it can be a murderous act. As my faithful readers know, I’ve devoted much ink lately to the media abuse scandal — that is, their abuse of the Truth in…

By Selwyn Duke Contradiction is no stranger to the mainstream media, and it is on full display in their treatment of the Catholic-priest sexual abuse story.
