  • By Selwyn Duke Liberal pundit and host of "Hardball," Chris Matthews, has actually run afoul of the  politically-correct thought police.  I have no use for Matthews’ commentary and generally don’t watch his show, but, not surprisingly, this is one of the few times I agree with him.

  • By Selwyn Duke World Net Daily had a startling story about the mercury danger posed by the new CFL light bulbs.  Those are the ones environmentalists are trying to ram down our throats through regulation.  It seems that if you break even just one in your home, you’re going to have to spend $2000 to…

  • By Selwyn Duke Although I’m not fond of psycho-babble terminology, if we can speak of emotional IQ, I can say it’s not very high in general.  We live in the age of Oprah — who has an encounter group masquerading as a TV talk show — the age of "I feel your pain."  Thus, it’s…

  • By Selwyn Duke At American Thinker, writer Lee Cary treats Barack Hussein Obama’s racial hypocrisy.  After pointing out that Obama has been preaching a philosophy of inclusiveness, saying there is no black America or white America (the "uniter, not a divider" schtick), Cary exposes the hollowness of the senator’s words.  Writes Cary:

  • By Selwyn Duke People of true faith increasingly become aware of the effort to strike Christmas and Christianity from our cultural landscape.  And some of us fight quite feverishly to preserve our traditions, we really do.  We may find out that certain stores prohibit their employees from saying "Merry Christmas" and then boycott those establishments. …

  • By Selwyn Duke While academia can’t preach enough about diversity, the most important type of it is sorely lacking in that arena; that is, diversity of opinion.  This is reflected in the fact that 95 percent of college professors are registered Democrats.  But while we know schools have long been leftist propaganda mills, seldom do…

  • By Selwyn Duke In the wake of Arizona’s new employer-sanctions law, illegal aliens are starting to leave the state.  I want you to remember this when some apologist for Invasion USA says we "can’t deport 12 million people" (the number is probably more like 30 million).

  • The following are select quotations from the great Irish orator and statesman, Edmund Burke (1729-1797). On Freedom . . .
