  • 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. 

  • Communists Celebrate Obama’s Victory

    By Selwyn Duke It isn't just Bill Ayers, the ex-Weathermen terrorist and self-described small-c communist, who is happy about Barack Obama's presidential victory.  No, the big-c variety are quite pleased as well.  Writes the red rag People's Weekly World (PWW {"People's" in a name is always a bad sign}):

    By Selwyn Duke It's really quite strange when you encounter a theologian or man of the cloth who appears to have no faith.  One could really wonder why they devote their lives to something they seem to believe is a fairytale.  I suppose they're much like experts in ancient literature.

The hosts asked the ambassador some light-hearted questions and engaged in some banter before casually asking him about Obama's…

  • Ex-KGB Defector on Demoralization in America http://youtube.com/v/qlpODYhnPEoThis is a very interesting video a reader sent me featuring Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov. He was a KGB man who was trained in subversion and who has some very interesting things to report about how communists work to corrupt the judgment and degrade the will of a targeted…

  • O’Reilly the Culture Warrior Doesn’t Understand the War

    By Selwyn Duke Quite a while ago, I wrote a piece titled "Conservatism is Dead; Long Live Conservatism?" in which I explained the process by which the right loses the culture war and why the I won't call myself a "conservative."  A good example of the fault I describe in the article was exhibited on…
