By Selwyn Duke Has Barack Obama set his sights on the wrong seat of power? If this Daily Mail article is any indication, perhaps he should have run for prime minister of Britain. Writes the paper:

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…

By Selwyn Duke Left-wing KGO radio host Bernie Ward has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison for the distribution of child pornography. Most people wouldn’t take issue with this, as virtually all consider such material beyond the pale. But are some of our defenses of adult pornography also indefensible?

This article first appeared in the June 23, 2008 issue of The New American magazine. By Selwyn Duke If you’re like most alive today, you grew up with Paul R. 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 If you listened to the mainstream media, you’d think conservatives have a monopoly on hypocrisy. If a figure has espoused traditional morality even just once at some point in the past and then falls from grace, our press will descend on him like vultures. You can be a Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy…

This article originally appeared in the April 14, 2008 issue of The New American magazine. By Selwyn Duke Sixty years before Christ's birth, great orator and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero watched plaintively as his republic faded before his eyes and Julius Caesar became the first Roman emperor. As today, some felt betrayed by their leaders,…

By Selwyn Duke So Howard "Dumbo" Dean is at it again. In the interview excerpt above, he calls the Republican Party the "white party" while touting the inclusiveness of the Democrats. It’s really amazing that the Democratic National Committee allows this buffoon to be their standard bearer. I mean, he really is the gift that…
