By Selwyn Duke It was quite a while ago that the sun set on the British Empire, and now it may be setting on British civilization as well. Writes TimesOnline.co.uk:

By Selwyn Duke When I consider the topsy-turvy world we live in, I can’t help but think of the Bible’s warning, “There will come a time when bad will be called good and good will be called bad.” A prime example of this is adult-child relations. In a reversal from a couple of generations ago,…

By Selwyn Duke To be honest, treating politics isn’t my favorite pastime. Sure, like other commentators I do it, but it’s not something I can truly sink my teeth into. I’ll explain why momentarily. This election season, my pen has directed many slings and arrows Barack Obama’s way. I criticized John McCain, too, but that…

By Selwyn Duke It’s not a new story anymore, but late last year columnist Mark Steyn was summoned to appear before two Canadian "human-rights" tribunals (how is that for an Orwellian euphemism?) to discuss hate-crime charges. At issue was his piece "The Future Belongs to Islam," which appeared in Macleans magazine and is an excerpt…

Ehrlich’s Malthusian idea of a “population bomb.” It just seems like common sense that man will increase his numbers inexorably until, one day, we find…

By Selwyn Duke Like many alive today, I had to read The Catcher in the Rye in high school. I can’t really say I learned much from the book, although, just to be fair, I must point out that I wasn’t exactly a dedicated student at the time. But the work was supposed to be…

By Selwyn Duke It’s interesting to hear the euphemisms bandied about in campaigns. After Barack Obama’s and John McCain’s appearance a week ago at Saddleback Church, for instance, the former’s ardent supporters were as effusive in their praise as ever. His stammering and copious “uhs” weren’t signs of a befuddled and muddled mind, but of “thoughtfulness” and…
