  • By Selwyn Duke First up, Mexico has awarded its highest honor to Ted Kennedy for the work he has done on behalf of immigrants and invaders.  I think it’s called the Medal of the American Traitor.  Congrats, Ted. As you may know, The New York Times has again tipped its liberal hand, refusing to publish…

  • By Selwyn Duke There are two more things I want to mention about Michael Savage’s comments on Autism and my subsequent commentary.  First, Savage has now addressed the matter at his website, and his explanation vindicates my interpretation of what he said.  But more on that in a moment.  Second, after talking to a friend…

  • By Selwyn Duke It seems as if taking offense is the recreation of choice in modern America. The latest example (of which I’m aware; I’m sure our UPS {umbrage per second} statistic is sky high) has resulted in a planned protest at WOR Radio in Manhattan over some comments radio talk show host Michael Savage…

  • By Selwyn Duke Mr. Duke: Thanks for your essay, "The war on boys: Where feminists and men’s rights activists go wrong" and for drawing attention to this issue. I’m writing to say that, in my opinion, you’re off base in saying that schools lack discipline and are all about "feel-good schemes."

  • By Selwyn Duke Ever since the 1947 separation of church and state ruling, we have been jumping through hoops to satisfy ever-more stringent interpretations of the establishment clause. It’s at a point now where school districts observe “Winter Break” at Christmastime and at least one changed the lyrics of “Silent Night” to “cold in the…

  • By Selwyn Duke A little while back, I wrote a piece about Keith John Sampson, a student at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) who was charged with "racial harassment" merely for reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan book (for background, read my piece here and my follow-up here).  This story had left my radar screen, and…

  • By Selwyn Duke NewsWithViews.com is currently running an article titled "Multiculturalism: One American Woman’s Story."  It was penned by a columnist named Frosty Wooldridge, a man who writes exclusively (as far as I know) about our immigration woes.  The piece is centered around an email Wooldridge received from a woman who was persecuted by the…

  • By Selwyn Duke The story began on November 14, 2007, when Joe Horn witnessed two men robbing a neighbor’s house. Like any good citizen, the 61-year-old grandfather called 911, but he also did something else — he fetched his shotgun. While the emergency operator implored Horn not to confront the burglars, the Pasadena, Tex., resident…

  • By Selwyn Duke What do you call a man who sermonizes about the evils of paying women less than men but allows that very practice in his own office? While a certain unflattering noun would leap to the minds of most, we can now apply a proper one: Barack Obama.

  • By Selwyn Duke In my last piece, I wrote about some politically-correct insanity in Britain and said about it, "You can’t make this stuff up."  Well, you can’t.  Another, even more ridiculous example accosted my sensibilities today, as the Daily Mail is reporting on Steve Kink, a businessman who has been charged with assault because…
