  • The Soulless Beast of Science

    Mad Scientist
    Barack Obama has lifted the ban on embryonic stem-cell research,
    saying that scientific decisions should be “based on facts, not
    ideology.” But this is nonsense.

    By Selwyn Duke

    Few
    of us will soon forget President Obama’s answer to the question of when
    human life begins. “That’s above my pay grade,” he said. It was a
    flippant remark, yet it was perhaps one of the times he was perfectly
    honest. I’m not being sarcastic.

    Like many people, Obama is confused about quite a number of moral
    issues. He is not the kind of man who could mount a compelling argument
    for when human life begins, for example (nor does he care). And the
    same kind of knowledge deficit is evident in Obama’s recent
    pronouncements concerning science and stem-cell research. Writes the Associated Press,
    “Promoting science ‘is about letting scientists . . . do their jobs,
    free from manipulation or coercion . . . .’ Obama said.” But does this
    make sense?

  • Germany Stunned by Shooting Spree
    http://youtube.com/v/LfDoMzng5fQ
    This story is about a teen in Germany, Tim Kretschmer, who went on a shooting spree and murdered 15 people.

    Now, in response to this, we'll hear all the usual nonsense. First and foremost, you can bet that the gun-control nuts will use this as a pretext to create even more laws restricting firearms possession. Yet, the real problems won't be addressed.

    What are they? For one thing, how much do you want to bet that this teen, who we're told was "depressed" and had been undergoing "treatment," was on psychotropic medication? It's a safe bet, since all or virtually all the young rampage shooters over the last 15 years have been (there are facts about this here).

    Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be simplistic. I'll be the first to say that the main problem relating to this is the spiritual/moral malaise sweeping the West (of course, that's why so many of these people are depressed in the first place). But I do tire of the shallow, one-dimensional media coverage of these incidents, where there's nary a mention of the undeniable link between the behavior in question and psychotropic medication use.

    The news coverage isn't surprising, however. The media hate guns, but you can bet your bottom dollar that a high percentage of its members use psychotropic drugs themselves or have loved ones who do so. Medication is big business.

    I'll close with some food for thought. While I don't consider Sweden to be the gold standard for governance, I will mention something relevant here relating to that nation:

    Ritalin has been illegal in Sweden since 1971.

  • Why Stop With Global Warming?

    Ice Age
    By Bruce Walker

    The heavy artillery of the Left has been wheeled into a line
    of barrage:  global warming is real; global warming is man-made; and if
    government does not stop, terrible things will happen.   This means
     that we cannot save ourselves unless we are willing to make draconian
    sacrifices, to surrender our liberties to government, and  to accept
    blindly the latest version of politically-correct science.

  • The Dark Truth about Socialized Medicine

    By Selwyn Duke

    George Mason University economics professor Walter Williams has penned another excellent article, this time about socialized medicine.  And since he relates the truth, it’s not a pretty picture.  He talks about how the health-care systems in Britain, Canada and Sweden are running on fumes, and in particular I call your attention to the following paragraph:

  • Obama: “I Am Not an Animal!”

    Communist Flag
    By Selwyn Duke

    Actually, Obama said, in so many words, "I am not a socialist!" in a delayed-reaction response to a question from a New York Times reporter.  That is to say, his initial answer was a very pithy "no," but then he felt compelled to call the interviewer back and give the scribe a piece of his mind (how much, we don't know.  But rumor has it that it was sufficient to lower Obama from socialist to communist status).  And here is what he said:

  • Perverts Put Price on Head of Prosecutor

    By Selwyn Duke

    Some people have dubbed the homosexual network within Hollywood the "Velvet Mafia," and a story today indicates that this appellation may be more fitting than many would think.  The New York Post reported Monday that a figure in the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) has put a $10,000 bounty on the head of New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.  Writes Fredric Dicker:

    ALBANY – A $10,000 Internet bounty was placed on Attorney General
    Andrew Cuomo's head by a suspected agent of the North American Man/Boy
    Love Association, The Post has learned.

    The shocking death threat by the infamous organization of pederasts
    was posted three weeks ago on an Internet news-group bulletin board
    that originated in The Bronx, law-enforcement sources said.

  • The Left’s War on Words

    Bruce Walker

    Men have long understood the
    special connection between words and the transcendent. Historians like John
    Lukacs have noted that virtually all of our reality is words. Novelists like
    George Orwell saw only too well how the mutilation of words by monsters could
    send reality into a hopeless downward spiral.

  • Blaming Economic Freedom: Using the Malaise to Spread the Disease

    Communist Flag
    By Selwyn Duke

    “Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste,” said Barack Obama’s
    chief-of-staff, Rahm Emanuel, late last year. Mindful of this advice,
    the left is using our current economic woes to resurrect socialism’s
    star – and, by extension, communism’s (Marx identified socialism as a
    transitional stage to communism) – by bemoaning the supposed pitfalls
    of “capitalism.”

    Unfortunately, scared people often glom onto statism’s simplistic message. A little while back I wrote
    about communism’s newfound appeal with a younger generation which,
    divorced from history, can easily repeat mistakes of the past.

  • Guest Piece: The Coming Battle over Reapportionment and Redistricting

    Shell Game
    By Bruce Walker

    The decision by Senator Gregg not to become Commerce Secretary is
    the first round in a vital battle over reapportionment and redistricting. Title 13 Section 2 provides “The
    Bureau [of the Census] is an agency within, and under the jurisdiction of, the
    Department of Commerce.”President
    Obama and his Chief of Staff lack the legal authority to move the Bureau of the
    Census under the direct control of the White House, and an indirect effort to do
    that – – exactly what the Obama Administration has said that it intends to do –
    – is a contravention of federal law. Article I Section 2 of the Constitution makes it clear that Congress, not
    the President, has the constitutional authority to define the census
    process. If President Obama tries
    to politically manage the census process, he is not only violating federal law
    but he is also violating the Constitution.

  • Alan Keyes: Stop Obama or U.S. Will Cease to Exist
    http://youtube.com/v/u6p3l8BXmhs
    Here is Alan Keyes, eloquently speaking the truth about Barack Obama (PBUH). If people wanted a black president, Keyes was the man to choose. And, by the way, in his case it wouldn’t have been an example of cultural affirmative action, since he was the best man running, black or white.

    As for Obama (PBUH), is he even a black president? I mean, is he really a president, given that he may not be a natural-born citizen? Is he really black? Isn’t he also white? Actually, it doesn’t really matter. What is he? The first red president.
