  • A 60-year-old Mystery Finally Solved


    This song is almost 60 years old, and it has only recently been discovered what the bah-dah, bah-dah, bah-dah referenced are.

    Liberals!

    Listen to the song and weight in on whether this rings true. I believe it. Liberals are everywhere, it seems, and whenever they render opinion, it always sounds the same: bah-dah, bah-dah, bah-dah!

  • The Chinese Want Gun Control — in America

    By Selwyn Duke

    Who’d have guessed it? When the Chinese aren’t busy
    effecting forced abortions, persecuting political dissidents, sending
    contaminated products to our shores, or shipping us other junk that
    malfunctions a month after you buy it, they concern themselves with our
    well-being.

    In an article published by the Chinese government-front media
    outlet Xinhua, the Beijing regime
    calls on the Obama administration to use the Sandy Hook massacre as a pretext
    for more gun control. The outlet writes,
    “Every time a tragedy occurs, there are renewed appeals for gun regulation.
    However, the calls disappointingly always fail.” Gee, we wouldn’t want to
    disappoint the Chinese fascists again now, would we?

  • Proof the Left Wants All Guns Outlawed

    By Selwyn Duke

    It has been said that to identify a liar, look for
    contradiction, because it’s hard keeping lies straight.

    It’s no revelation that leftists would like to effect gun
    confiscation (except for themselves and their bodyguards, of course), but they
    generally maintain plausible deniability so that the world’s Dirty Harry Reids
    can convince the flyover-country bitter clingers that they believe in the
    Second Amendment. And they certainly do — the way the Devil believes in God.
    Nonetheless, leftists sometimes tip their hand, and such is the case with a
    recent New York Post editorial.

  • The End of the World

    By Selwyn Duke

    This is the piece that will never be published. Haven’t you
    heard?

    The world’s going to end on December 21.

    End-of-the-world hysteria is rather interesting. The
    Argentine government has restricted access to a mountain over a mass “spiritual
    suicide” threat
    associated with it, and the Chinese regime has responded to a doomsday cult by
    staying true to form: it arrested people.
    And all this based upon an interpretation of the Mayan calendar that predicts a
    Winter Solstice apocalypse.

    Of course, every age has its end-times expectations. Martin
    of Tours predicted that the end would come by 400 A.D.; many believed, not
    surprisingly, it would happen on Jan. 1, 1000; perhaps a tad more scientific,
    mathematician Michael Stifel predicted that at 8:00 am on Oct. 19, 1533
    Judgment Day would begin; and, more recently, radio personality Harold Camping
    prophesied a 2011 demise, which turned out to be as accurate as a 2012 Dick
    Morris election prediction.

  • For Harry Belafonte: The Banana Republic Song

    By Selwyn Duke

    As many of you know, singer Harry Belafonte recently suggested that Barack Obama handle dissenters the way a Third World dictator would. So in recognition of Belafonte’s contributions and because, since we’re getting musical here, “I’m Just Not Wild about Harry,” I’ve created “The Banana Republic Song.” It goes like this:

  • Conservatives Rationalize as America Circles the Drain

    By Selwyn Duke

    It’s often hard to accept the truth, especially when that
    truth is scary, when reality seems to offer you no solutions, only poison from
    which to pick.

    It’s as with a man I once knew who insisted it couldn’t be
    proven that smoking was bad for you. He knew better in his heart, but his
    available choices — giving up cigarettes or accepting the danger of their use —were
    both emotionally unpalatable to him. Enter the rationalization.

    We’re seeing the same thing with Republicans in the wake of
    Barack Obama’s re-election. Radio host Sean Hannity, citing changing American
    demographics, stated a while back that his position on immigration has
    “evolved”: we now must offer illegals some kind of pathway to citizenship
    (a.k.a. amnesty). Other conservatives are warning that we must dispense with
    social issues or the Republican Party will be dispensed with.

  • Ten Liberal Lies People Believe about Guns

    By Selwyn Duke

    In the wake of the tragic Newtown massacre, we’re hearing all the
    usual lies and misconceptions about firearms. And since it’s wise to be
    educated on a topic before advocating policy on it, this is a good time
    to explode the gun myths being bandied about.

    1. The issue is automatic weapons.

    Boston mayor Thomas Menino and CNN’s Don Lemon both recently repeated
    the common mantra that we have to get “automatic weapons” off the
    streets. Automatic weapons, however, are machine guns, which, except for
    individuals who receive special permission from the federal government,
    have been illegal to own since
    the passage of The National Firearms Act in 1934. In addition, the
    Firearms Owners’ Protection Act of 1986 made it generally illegal for
    any civilian to own an automatic weapon manufactured after that year.

    2. Assault Weapons

    “Assault weapon” is certainly a menacing, rhetorically effective
    term, which is why the media use it so much. In reality, though, the
    guns in question (such as the AR-15-type rifles and AK-47s available to
    the public) are not machine guns but simply semi-automatic firearms; this means that one bullet is released with each trigger pull. And virtually every gun sold in America is semi-automatic.

  • Time for Schools to be Gun-free Free

    By Selwyn Duke

    If there’s anything the Newtown massacre has proven, it’s
    that school zones billed as “gun-free” cannot be guaranteed to thus be.

    They’re only virtually certain to be good-guy-gun-free.

    And it’s time for this symbolism-over-substance policy to
    end.

  • Judge: “Choose Life” Out in North Carolina

    By Selwyn Duke

    Providing another example of why judicial review needs to be
    reviewed is U.S. District Court Judge James C. Fox, who just ruled that North
    Carolina may not offer its “Choose Life” license plates. And wait till you hear
    his reasoning (if you can call it that). Writes MyFox8.com:

    A federal judge has ruled it is unconstitutional
    for North Carolina to issue pro-life license plates unless the state offers
    similar plates supporting abortion rights.

    […]Judge Fox concluded, “The
    State’s offering of a Choose Life license plate in the absence of a pro-choice
    plate constitutes viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First
    Amendment.”

    Allow me to translate: “I, Caesarean Judge, don’t like pro-life
    messages. So I’m going to rule against the choose-life plate — because I can.”

  • Students Forced to Stand for “Black National Anthem”

    By Selwyn Duke

    Students at Capital High School (CHS) in Charleston, West
    Virginia have been regularly forced to stand during the playing of a song known
    as “The Black National Anthem.”

    The song,
    “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” was played in the morning right after the American
    national anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance, and students were forced to stand
    for all three. While the law currently states that no child can be compelled to
    stand for any kind of pledge, controversy only arose at CHS after two students
    and a parent complained about having to stand for the “Black National Anthem”
    (BNA).
