  • When Small Men Cast Big Shadows

    By Selwyn Duke

    "When small men cast big shadows, it's a sign that the sun is about to set." — Lin Yutang

    When I read the above proverb, I can't help but think about our time.  Can anyone deny that we have become the land where small men cast big shadows?  Think about it.  The Simon & Garfunkel song asks, "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?" but it would be better to ask where Mozart, G.K. Chesterton, Edmund Burke and Thomas Aquinas have gone.  And one thing we'll ask that's similar is, "Where are all the leaders?" but it's the wrong question.  We should ask, "Where are all the followers?"

  • Big Brother is Watching You: A “Camera on Every Corner”

    If you know anything about Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley, you may understand that he is one of the truly odious characters on the American political scene.  He is the quintessence of a leftist: Ever ready to wax sanctimonious, act paternalistically, and micromanage people lives while being thoroughly corrupt in his own.

  • Is Anyone Smart Enough to Micromanage an Economy?

    The always-perspicacious economics professor Walter Williams' latest column contains an excellent explanation of why it is impossible for anyone, no matter how brilliant, to micromanage an economy.  What he says is something wise people know instinctively, but, nevertheless, it's worth a read.  If nothing else, it may provide you with another way to explain the truth contained therein to others.

  • Excerpts from a Cat’s Daily Diary

    Sinister Cat
    By now, I'm sure you've all heard the story about the pet chimp in Connecticut (the rumors that he was an ACLU lawyer are unfounded) who attacked a woman.  Well, on the heels of that comes another warning about how your love for your pets may in fact be unrequited. Take heed. (What follows has been circulating throughout the Internet.)

  • Giving Obama a Chance

    Back Obama-TTO-003379
    By Selwyn Duke

    Being a cerebral sort, when I
    ponder President Obama’s seduction of America, I think of the story of the
    snake and the duck.  To be brief, the
    snake wants the duck to take him to the other side of a creek, but the duck is
    reluctant.  He says, “But when we get
    there, you’ll bite me.”  The snake is
    very persuasive, however, and convinces the duck he wouldn’t do such a
    thing.  He just wants help and would have
    the utmost appreciation.  Well, I think
    you know what happened upon concluding their little crossing.  Bam! 
    The snake bit the foolish bird, who then started stammering,
    “Bu-bu-bu-but you said . . . .”  The
    snake just replied, “Hey, you knew what I was when you picked me up.”  I suppose the duck just wanted to give the
    serpent a chance.

  • Our Topsy-turvy world: Invaders Awarded Money in Suit Against American Citizen

    By Selwyn Duke

    In keeping with the practice of arresting parents who spank ill-behaved brats and having taxpayers subsidize borrowers who can't live within their means, a rancher has just been punished for defending his own property.  Writes Reuters:

  • Alert: Obama Threatens Keyes and other Eligibility Plaintiffs

    This is message from Alan Keyes about how Barack Obama is targeting for destruction those who seek the truth about his birth records.  Read it, and then please spread the word.

    Thought for Today

    As many of you know, I am party to one of the lawsuits
    seeking evidence that would help to establish, one way or the other, whether
    Obama in fact meets the U.S. Constitution's eligibility requirements for the
    office of President of the United States. To understand my view of the critical
    issues involved see the WND articles The End of the Constitutional
    Republic    , and Obama,
    Oaths and the End of Constitutional Government    .) Now Obama's lawyers have
    filed a motion to quash our effort to obtain the relevant documents (cf. Bob
    Unruh's WND article Sanctions
    sought in eligibility case    .) I am told that it includes a demand that
    monetary penalties be assessed against me and the other plaintiffs in the suit.
    Though not unexpected, this motion confirms Obama's ruthless determination to
    destroy anyone who continues to seek the information the Constitution requires.
    Why should they demand penalties against citizens who are simply seeking the
    enforcement of the Supreme Law of the Land? It is simply because their
    persistence runs contrary to the will of a supposedly popular demagogue? This
    smacks of tyrannical arrogance. That Obama thus signals his intent to bring
    financial ruin on those who won't accept his cover-up of the circumstances of
    his birth is a tactical escalation. It confirms the common sense suspicion that
    he won't act forthrightly in this matter because he has something to hide.

  • Founder of TV Station Designed to Portray Moslems Positively Murders Wife

    By Selwyn Duke

    Upstate New York — a picturesque, bucolic area — just isn't what it used to be.  First, I learned that nestled in the verdant heart of my home state's rural better three-quarters is terrorist training center Islamberg.  Now, out of Buffalo, NY, comes news that a 44-year-old Pakistani businessman named Muzzammil Hassan has just been charged with murder.  He killed his wife after she filed for divorce.  And here's the $64,000 question: Can anyone guess what method Hassan used?  Writes The Buffalo News:

  • Defending the Pope

    954801_blog
    By Selwyn Duke

    Pope Benedict XVI has found
    himself in a maelstrom of controversy over his lifting of the excommunication
    of Richard Williamson, an illegally-consecrated prelate who has downplayed the magnitude
    of the Holocaust.  The Pope has been
    scored by the media, certain Jewish groups and even some fellow Catholics, yet few
    truly understand what they’re criticizing. 
    Let’s examine the matter.

  • Media Bias Against Traditional Values

    2052845_low
    By Selwyn Duke

    We’re used to seeing quarterbacks pummeled at the Super Bowl, but this
    year something else was sacked: a pro-life message featuring Barack
    Obama. Although NBC had originally agreed to run the commercial, it
    subsequently balked, stating that it wasn’t going to air advocacy ads.
