  • When a Society Listens to Babies

    By Selwyn Duke

    It was a long time ago that George Bernard Shaw said that youth was wasted on the young, but truths never get old.  This occurred to me today when I came across one of the stupidest columns imaginable.

  • Obama’s Alliances

    By Selwyn Duke

    Barack Obama certainly runs with an unsavory crowd.  This cannot be over-emphasized, yet, his critics make a mistake when they refer to the leftists within it as "associations," as this puts a happy face on his dirty hands.  In reality, such people go by a different name: Allies.

  • Surprise: Wall Street May Refuse Bailout Money

    By Selwyn Duke

    You probably didn’t see this one coming, but many Wall Street banks and financial firms may actually refuse to accept the taxpayer funds the government is shoveling its way.  It may seem counterintuitive, but the Guardian.co.uk tells us:

  • Too Intelligent to be a Cop?

    By Selwyn Duke

    Imagine this scenario: You take an exam to be a police officer but are disqualified because of your grade. 

    It was too high.

  • JBS Piece: Taliban Rising in Pakistan

    By Selwyn Duke

    With all the hoopla surrounding the upcoming election, some
    important stories get pushed to the background. One of them is the new
    assertiveness of the Taliban in the nuclear state of Pakistan. The
    nation’s military is now in a state of full-fledged war with the
    militants, and local tribal militias are joining the fray as well.

  • The Palin-Biden Debate

    By Selwyn Duke

    Nothing about last night’s debate surprised me.  Sarah Palin acquitted herself just fine, and, after Saturday Night Live and mainstream-media mocking diminished expectations, cleared her lowered bar by at least a moose-length.  As for Joe Biden, he was somewhat restrained; he couldn’t risk female-voter ire by "hitting the girl."  So, I suppose the burning question is, who won?

  • The Obama Youth


    By Selwyn Duke

    It really does seem that the more evil a movement is, the more likely it is to enlist children in its cause.  (Well, they really do make beautiful little human shields.)  In the above video, 22 young, impressionable victims of misguided parents are singing a song in homage to Barack Obama as if he’s a god . . . or an extremely good imposter.

  • Shocking Video Unearthed: Democrats in Their Own Words Covering Up the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Scam
    http://youtube.com/v/_MGT_cSi7Rs
    Nancy Pelosi, the rest of the Democrats and the mainstream media have tried to lay the blame for the current financial meltdown at the feet of the Republicans.  We’re told that the GOP’s opposition to regulation sowed the seeds of this crisis.  Yet, this video clearly demonstrates that the Republicans tried in 2004 to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but were blocked by Democrats who demonized their efforts. 

    We can certainly argue about whether or not regulation would have been beneficial in this case, but there is something that is unarguable.

    The Democrats are lying. 

    They, and no one else, blocked reform of these government sponsored enterprises.  Watch the video and learn the truth.

  • Boy Suspended for Wearing Anti-Obama T-shirt

    By Selwyn Duke

    Daxx Dalton is a very principled boy. At the tender age of 11, not
    only does he have political passions, he is willing to wear them on his
    shirtsleeve (or at least his back) and go to the mat for them. Thus,
    when Aurora Frontier K-8 School made him an offer
    he couldn’t refuse, saying he must remove his anti-Obama t-shirt, turn
    it inside-out or face suspension, he refused. He chose suspension.

  • Was Civilization Always Promiscuous? Duke Responds to Poster

    By Selwyn Duke

    Was society always as promiscuous as today?  The answer to this question should be obvious, yet there are people who would say yes.  One of them responded to my piece "Does Pro-life Now Mean Pro-libertinism?" saying that the idea of traditional values before the time of the sexual revolution is a myth.  The name he posted under (I assume it’s his real name) is Robert Berger, and he wrote:
