  • By Selwyn Duke It’s said that history repeats itself. Nevertheless, we seem to live in unprecedented times, and a case in point is the issue of faux marriage. There certainly have been civilizations that accepted homosexuality – the ancient Spartans institutionalized it in their military training camps, for example – but I don’t know of…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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:
