By Selwyn Duke In the 1992 book The End of History and the Last Man, philosopher Francis Fukuyama posited that “liberal democracy” would become the world’s unassailable, default norm. Since then, many would argue, we’ve gotten much liberalism and the appearance of democracy, but the substance doesn’t match the style. And a recent study of liberty in…

By Selwyn Duke Anger is like darkness: The more there is, the less you can see. This is a good reason why angry people shouldn’t helm social-change movements and, to the point here, why they shouldn’t devise school history curricula. A good example of such a person might be one complaining about “legislation that seeks…

By Selwyn Duke The pilot had a history of acting “impulsively” during training and “an inability to remain calm during stressful situations,” an investigator said. These deficits would prove deadly, too, one fateful February day. That’s right, Conrad Aska’s checkered flying past didn’t prevent him from being at the helm of Atlas Air Flight 3591,…

What’s more, despite modern-day Lysenkoists’ best efforts at convincing us that “gender identity disorder” (GID) has a biological basis and thus requires a biological (physical) fix, people…

By Selwyn Duke It was 26 years ago, as Tiger Woods was poised to win the 1997 Masters tournament, that he was the object of a joke by fellow golfer Fuzzy Zoeller about not serving soul food when he returned to defend his title. Zoeller was crucified in the ensuing uproar, which Woods could’ve helped…

By Selwyn Duke Did you hear about the new Chinese and Russian military doctrine stating that they will not, under any circumstances, attack a diverse opposing force? Me neither. Despite this, the Department of Defense (DoD) appears to be focusing more on making our side diverse than on making it devastating. Just consider a video…

By Selwyn Duke When even your archrival praises you, with nothing to gain, you know it means something. So it’s most notable what “The Last King of America,” George III, said about George Washington’s refusal to become the first king of these United States. “If he does that,” said the monarch, upon hearing that Washington…
