  • Climate Change Con: Refuting Al Gore http://youtube.com/v/gOKH72yWMd8This is a great video refuting the rank propaganda belched out by Al Gore. It features prominent climate scientists who aren't peddling an agenda so they can capture government grants. As for Gore, he quite simply is a liar.

  • The Soulless Beast of Science

    Barack Obama has lifted the ban on embryonic stem-cell research, saying that scientific decisions should be “based on facts, not ideology.” But this is nonsense. By Selwyn Duke Few of us will soon forget President Obama’s answer to the question of when human life begins. “That’s above my pay grade,” he said. It was a…

  • Why Stop With Global Warming?

    By Bruce Walker The heavy artillery of the Left has been wheeled into a line of barrage:  global warming is real; global warming is man-made; and if government does not stop, terrible things will happen.   This means  that we cannot save ourselves unless we are willing to make draconian sacrifices, to surrender our liberties to…

  • Guest Piece: The Descent of Darwinism

    By Bruce Walker Darwin was born two hundred years ago this month.  A serious and decent man, Darwin’s name has become connected with modern Darwinism. Today the Theory of Evolution of Species by Natural Selection has been mystically elevated from a “Theory” into a “Law,” which it is not.  As a working theory, evolution by…

  • On the Brink of Climatic Disaster: The Coming Ice Age

    By Selwyn Duke Politicians can’t talk enough of carbon taxes and credits and cleaner technologies, but are they just fiddling while Rome freezes? If the climate were a sentient adversary with a will, he might be laughing right now. Because while mankind is doing a Chicken Little worrying about anthropogenic global warming (AGW), nature just…

  • People Who Want to be Crippled

    http://tvzone.us/p/veFccvtvia videosift.com This video is about people who crave amputation.  It's one of the weirdest things you will ever have heard, even if you live in San Francisco. 

  • Mailbag: Duke, You’re Insensitive! How Dare You Doubt the Altered Men!

    By Selwyn Duke After writing my piece about the man who won the women's long drive contest, I received a lot of criticism from altered-men apologists.  One of these critiques was just posted at my site, and here it is as it was sent to me (my response follows):

  • Man Allowed in Women’s Athletic Event . . . and Wins It

    By Selwyn Duke A man undergoes the mutilative procedure known as “gender-reassignment surgery” and then wins the women’s division of golf’s premier long drive championship. There was a time when a sexual identity crisis was thought a problem of adolescence and only discussed in psychology journals. But now our whole civilization is experiencing one, as…

  • Self-esteem: Smells Like Teen Trouble

    By Selwyn Duke There is a reason why G.K. Chesterton once called common sense ". . . that forgotten branch of psychology."  It is because the field can reliably be used to govern your life; all you need do is listen closely to its prescriptions. And do exactly the opposite. 

  • Intelligent Design and Evolution

    By Selwyn Duke While the debate over evolution in schools has been developing for many years in a primordial soup of passion, generally speaking, it hasn't reached a very high level of complexity. The opponents of Intelligent Design Theory (ID) tend to dismiss its advocates as serpent-handling dogmatists who make a sport of spitting on…
