Only Man to Ever Escape from Notorious North Korean Prison Control Zone Tells His Story
http://youtube.com/v/4LYjo81MlQM
This is the story of Shin Dong-hyuk, the only man known to have escaped from a North Korean prison camp "Special Control Zone." He was born in the camp and didn't even know the outside world existed. He was tortured brutally and forced to watch the executions of his mother and brother. Note that this is what happens when a civilization is in the grip of an evil, godless ideology.

This is part one of the documentary; the rest can be watched on YouTube.

Church in State

By Selwyn Duke

If anyone subscribes to the militant-secularist notion that the First Amendment prohibits religious symbols and sentiments in government, he should read what follows. It is a presentation by the Washington Constitution Party comprising acknowledgments of God from all of our 50 states’ constitutions. At the end there is some commentary.

The Ignoramus Americus

By Selwyn Duke

There is often a profound difference between morality and legality, and, if this were a just world, a good percentage of the American left would be tried for treason. If that seems a radical statement, I ask you: What price should be paid for sowing the seeds of your nation's destruction? What should be the punishment for creating millions of people so ignorant, so effete, so corrupted in judgment that they are unable to sustain a free republic, resist enemies foreign and domestic, and perpetuate their culture? I'll leave that to you to decide and just talk a bit about the state of the electorate.

Guest Commentary: Draft Ditka

By Bruce Walker

The
Illinois State Legislature is going to quickly remove the power of senatorial
appointment from its latest disgraced governor. That means some other politician will
fill the seat held by another politician, all of whom are steeped in the
corruption that is Illinois politics.
The bipartisan slime includes the oldest and biggest city machine in
American history, Daley and Son. In
the 1920s, Mayor Daley’s office was held by a hand picked candidate of Al
Capone. It includes Blagojevich’s
imprisoned Republican predecessor.
It includes the whole rotten mess, and it is safe to say that almost no
one who is the next Junior Senator from Illinois will take office with clean
hands. Except Mike
Ditka.

The Socialist and the Stone

By Selwyn Duke

When I was still within a stone’s throw of ladhood, I had an acquaintance who was essentially a socialist. I can’t say for sure he proclaimed himself as such — although I believe he did — but that was certainly where his passions lay.

He was a man of about 60 years, and his exterior matched his ideology. Much of his hair and its melanin had obviously been redistributed, and he certainly was the very model of a modern minor socialist.

Reporting on the case, the Chicago Tribune writes:

Self-esteem: Smells Like Teen Trouble

By Selwyn Duke

There is a reason why G.K. Chesterton once called common sense ". . . that forgotten branch of psychology." It is because the field can reliably be used to govern your life; all you need do is listen closely to its prescriptions.

And do exactly the opposite.

Guest Commentary: Our Foolish Infatuation with Change

By Bruce
Walker

Barack
Obama won the presidency based upon the theme of change. We already live
in a world of constant change, and we assume too easily that change is good.
Politicians, professors, pundits, self-proclaimed champions of the oppressed –
those with vested interests in change – repeat the lie that change makes things
better. But these cheerleaders of constant change are unhappy people, by and
large. Certainly there are some areas of human life in which change is good –
who would want to go back to the medicine or dentistry of fifty years ago? –
but, surely, if there is one idea which should have been debunked in the last
century it would be the idea of beneficent progress. The First World War was
dramatic and catastrophic progress. The Bolshevik junta in 1917 was progress in
the direct of omnipresent police state and slave labor camps. The Second World
War was progress along the road to genocidal madness and global war.
Ghastly diseases and debilitating physical conditions are “progressive,” and
that means change which is bad.

The Rising Tide of Corruption

By Selwyn Duke

For a long time now, people have lamented the state of younger
generations. And for a long time now, they have been right. If this
makes me sound like a fuddy-duddy who bemoans the spirit of the age
simply because he long ago wedded his own, know that indicting the next
generation implicates your own as well. After all, the apple doesn’t
fall far from the tree.

Communists Celebrate Obama’s Victory

By Selwyn Duke

It isn't just Bill Ayers, the ex-Weathermen terrorist and self-described small-c communist, who is happy about Barack Obama's presidential victory. No, the big-c variety are quite pleased as well. Writes the red rag People's Weekly World (PWW {"People's" in a name is always a bad sign}):
