  • Responses to “Obama: Fear and the Security Force”

    My recent piece, "Obama: Fear and the Security Force," evoked more responses than perhaps any other article I've ever written.  Many of them were very worthwhile contributions, and I've chosen three that I'm sure you'll find interesting.  In the first one a reader posits a theory as to the purpose behind Barack Obama's Universal Voluntary…

  • Duke’s Reponse to Loving, Angry Atheists

    By Selwyn Duke The great G.K. Chesterton once said, "Really, there are only two kinds of people: those who accept dogmas and know it, and those who accept dogmas and don’t know it."  If you want to read the musings of those in the latter category, you need look no further than the hostile postings…

  • Atheist Richard Dawkins’ Fairytale Thinking

    By Selwyn Duke If ever there was a man who was out of his depth, it’s biologist Richard Dawkins.  For those who don’t know, Dawkins is a standard bearer for the atheist movement.  He travels around the world arguing against faith, intelligent design, and just about anything indicating even in some tangential way that something…

  • Where Does Obama Get His Ideas? Mao?

    By Selwyn Duke Most of us have heard about how Barack Obama has lifted language from others, people such as Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.  It’s what prompted Hillary Clinton to say in one of the primary debates that Obama’s words didn’t constitute change you can believe in but ". . . change you can Xerox"…

  • College Professor Whines about Her Financial Woes

    By Selwyn Duke What many don’t want to mention about our financial crisis is that the greatest culprit is individual irresponsibility.  This is because many of us are part of the problem, and we don’t own up to this for two reasons.  Most obviously, people don’t like to admit fault.  But an even greater factor…

  • The French First Lady: Eye Candy and Air

    By Selwyn Duke It’s hard to shock a man living in a planetary insane asylum, so it doesn’t raise my eyebrows when I watch a people commit suicide.  Nevertheless, I had to shake my head when I read about how Barack Obama’s election has inspired France to consider affirmative-action policies to combat their dreaded "white…

  • Impeach Schwarzenegger

    By Selwyn Duke Proving that he is about as conversant with American civics as his foreign accent would indicate, Arnold Schwarzenegger has essentially stated that the will of the people means nothing to him.  Michael Rothfeld and Tony Barboza writing at the Los Angeles Times report: 

  • Laissez-faire Lies

    By Selwyn Duke It’s no secret to the informed that statists are using the current financial crisis as a pretext to increase the power and scope of government.  Yet, the bold-faced lies shameless politicians and pundits will tell in the service of this cause are striking.  And one of them concerns the fanciful notion that…

  • Reader Email: You’re Wrong, Duke, the Constitution is a Perfect Document!

    By Selwyn Duke Recently I wrote a piece titled "Obama the Justifier," which exposed President-elect Uh-change’s contempt for the Constitution.  In it, while I defended the supreme law of the land, I also stated that is wasn’t as if people such as myself believe the Constitution is infallible.  My purpose in doing this was to…

  • Jesse Jackson’s Tears

    Jesse Jackson was moved to tears by Barack Obama’s presidential victory last night, but what was the man really thinking?  Well, since I’ve been blessed with the power of telepathy, I can tell you. Ol’ Jesse was truly moved by the realization of how this historic day had changed things irrevocably and thought to himself:…
