  • Spreading Christianity in Dar al-Islam

    By Selwyn Duke If our military is any indication, it just may be true that there are no atheists in a foxhole. The armed forces have long seemed to be an arena wherein faith runs strong, and while this is laudable, it also creates problems with today’s secular civilian authorities and top brass. One example…

  • Stopping Truth at the Border: Banning Michael Savage from Britain

    By Selwyn Duke When I awoke Tuesday morning, I ambled over to the computer, as is my wont, and made my usual cyber rounds.  I logged on to the Drudge Report and, lo and behold, saw the following headline, “RADIO HOST MICHAEL SAVAGE BANNED FROM UK FOR 'EXTREME VIEWS'….”  “Wow,” I thought, “Britain strikes again.”

  • The Hoax That is Hate-crime Laws

    By Selwyn Duke Back during Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, we became acquainted with the term “human shields.” This was the name given to innocent citizens whom the Iraqis would place in buildings that were obvious military targets so as to confront the West with a dilemma: either refrain from bombing such facilities and handicap yourself…

  • Hate-crime Laws and the Day of the Pink Guillotine

    By Selwyn Duke Hate Crime law HR-1913 may offer federal protection to 30 different “sexual orientations.” Yet, as alarming as this is, the problem with hate-crime laws doesn’t lie in the details. It lies in the laws themselves. In another example of creating specially-protected classes of people, the government is poised to offer homosexuals and…

  • Here is a Great Example of Leftist Insanity http://youtube.com/v/EWVyJ-YG3ewMany people find this funny, but to me it's just pathetic. It's a video of a group of leftist activists talking to the trees in a forest. If only it were a spoof. Ready the straitjackets and rubber trucks.

  • BILL MAHER: Foolish Rambling about Global Warming http://youtube.com/v/KqesgXP6_FYThis segment from Bill Maher's show is a good example of what the sheeple are exposed to, and why they are sheeple. As for Maher, he's living proof of why a little knowledge is dangerous. A more smug man there never was, yet he is as nonintellectual as…

  • Prejudice, Hating Israel and the “Racism” Conference

    By Selwyn Duke Approximately 20 delegates walked out of the Durban Review Conference Geneva, Switzerland after Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made controversial statements about Israel. Our political world today is replete with irony, so I suppose it’s not surprising that the very embodiment of prejudice, President Ahmadinejad of Iran, would speak at a U.N. conference…

  • Beauty and the Beastly Activist: Homosexual Judge Creates Stir at Miss USA Pageant

    By Selwyn Duke They say that no one remembers second place, but this year’s recently concluded Miss USA Pageant may prove that this isn’t always true. In fact, some articles about the event, such as this one, don’t mention the winner at all. Instead, the focus is on runner-up Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean. At…

  • How to Handle a Child Brainwashed with Environmentalist Propaganda

    We all know about how children today are being indoctrinated with environmentalist propaganda.  Well, there is a very distressing but not surprising article here about how a survey has shown that one in three American preteens fear an environmental apolcalypse.  But my focus right now is not on the piece but on a comment left…

  • Out of the Closet and Into the Fire: According to Kinsey, Deviancy Is the New Normal

    By Selwyn Duke If you're like most Americans, when hearing the term "sexual revolution," you think of the 1960s. Conjured up are images of hippies in tie-dyed t-shirts, Woodstock, rock 'n' roll, and everything else that attended that tumultuous time in our history. Lying in contrast is the image of the 1950s, supposedly a time…
