  • A Uniter, Not a Divider; Whatever

    By Selwyn Duke In the netherworld of vacuous political discourse, near the nadir of utter nonsense, even below blather about "experience," are platitudes about being a "uniter, not a divider."  Quite fittingly, the one who specializes in empty political rhetoric grandiosely delivered, Barack Obama, mentioned something to this effect in his Iowa victory speech. 

  • When Good Science Collides with Bad Ideology

    By Selwyn Duke DNA technology has been an invaluable crime-fighting tool, allowing law enforcement to identify both the innocent and the guilty.  And since it has been so welcomed by authorities, molecular biologist Tony Frudakis had every reason to believe that his great advance in suspect identification — called "DNAWitness" — would be well received. …

  • New Year’s Resolutions

    By Selwyn Duke I was never one for New Year’s Resolutions.  Quite frankly, they always struck me as silly.  If a change is warranted, why wait for a certain date to make it?

  • Bad Santa’s Statist Elf

    By Selwyn Duke Perhaps you saw some of the Christmastime campaign commercials released by the presidential candidates.  The one receiving the most attention was Mike Huckabee’s "floating cross" spot, which was criticized for its Christian symbolism.  Although I have no use for Huck, his commercial was fine and the criticism nothing but anti-Christian tripe.  The…

  • Experience Vs. Experiences

    By Selwyn Duke Of all the empty election-year talk, none rings more hollow than that about "experience."  We’re told Barack Obama lacks experience, but Hillary Clinton possesses it in abundance.  Does anyone ever wonder what such individuals have experience in?

  • Bush Lied? Don’t Bet on it

    By Selwyn Duke One of the more frustrating frailties of man’s nature is that he is prone to emotionalism and finds it very difficult to be objective.  People tend to view others through tinted glasses — either rose-colored or dark — and then see everything their object of adulation or animosity does in that light. …

  • Faith on Your Lips

    By Selwyn Duke People of true faith increasingly become aware of the effort to strike Christmas and Christianity from our cultural landscape.  And some of us fight quite feverishly to preserve our traditions, we really do.  We may find out that certain stores prohibit their employees from saying "Merry Christmas" and then boycott those establishments. …

  • Resurrecting John McCain

    By Selwyn Duke How quickly they forget.  Not that long ago, Manchurian candidate John McCain was reviled among traditionalists for siding with the open-borders crowd during the scamnesty debate.  Now, after languishing in campaign purgatory for months, he’s baaaack.  He has vaulted into second place in the New Hampshire Republican Primary.

  • Leftist Teacher Caught Brainwashing Students

    By Selwyn Duke While academia can’t preach enough about diversity, the most important type of it is sorely lacking in that arena; that is, diversity of opinion.  This is reflected in the fact that 95 percent of college professors are registered Democrats.  But while we know schools have long been leftist propaganda mills, seldom do…

  • Illegals Leaving Arizona

    By Selwyn Duke In the wake of Arizona’s new employer-sanctions law, illegal aliens are starting to leave the state.  I want you to remember this when some apologist for Invasion USA says we "can’t deport 12 million people" (the number is probably more like 30 million).
