By Selwyn Duke John Geer had white privilege. The privilege of being shot by police and having his death largely ignored by the media, authorities, and activists. “Hands up, don’t shoot!” It has become a meme and rallying cry for all the wrong reasons and all the wrong people. But it was never a more…

By Selwyn Duke Freedom of religion is a right treasured by many Westerners. But then there are those people who want freedom from religion — and atheism point-man Richard Dawkins is among them. In fact, not content just purging faith from public institutions, the biologist turned irreligious bad boy is now taking aim at families.…

By Selwyn Duke It’s certainly not your grandfather’s family programming. Not all kinds of history should be made, but this didn’t stop the ABC drama The Fosters from airing the youngest ever same-sex kiss Monday night — between 13-year-old boys (shown). Unfortunately, the kiss was hardly out of place on The Fosters. Co-created by actor,…

By Selwyn Duke The new illegal aliens are “seedlings” that will develop a “country within a country,” is the secret Obama administration plan. These foreigners will “navigate, not assimilate,” as they eventually “take over the host,” coming “out of the shadows” and “pushing the citizens into the shadows.” So said radio personality Sue Payne last…

By Selwyn Duke We used to hear parents say they want their children to have it better than they did. But that was back before today’s relativism made “better” an incomprehensible term (at least, to the uncomprehending). Now there are dwarves who want to use genetic engineering to design dwarf babies for themselves. And then…

By Selwyn Duke Americans have very little faith in Obama’s faith. In fact, accepting that he’s “Christian” seems a leap of faith many citizens are unwilling to take, say polls. And Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin (shown) appears no exception. Asked recently by two Washington Post reporters if Obama is a Christian, Walker replied, “I…

By Selwyn Duke He may be a “reverend,” but it seems Al Sharpton (shown) hasn’t absorbed the biblical admonition “The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” So says Erica Snipes, a daughter of Eric Garner, the 400-pound Staten Island, New York, man who died after resisting arrest on July 17,…

By Selwyn Duke In the tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” a vain emperor is swindled by two men who claim they can make him a special suit of garments invisible to the stupid or incompetent. When he later parades around naked in public, no one wants to state the obvious for fear of appearing the…
