  • College Professor Whines about Her Financial Woes

    By Selwyn Duke

    What many don’t want to mention about our financial crisis is that the greatest culprit is individual irresponsibility.  This is because many of us are part of the problem, and we don’t own up to this for two reasons.  Most obviously, people don’t like to admit fault.  But an even greater factor is that Westerners now have such high expectations for lifestyle, such a feeling of entitlement, that they are usually oblivious to the fact that much of what they demand in life should be considered icing on the cake.  Consequently, they live beyond their means when they otherwise would refrain from many purchases unless they could be financed with disposable income.  Many confuse wants with needs.

  • The French First Lady: Eye Candy and Air

    By Selwyn Duke

    It’s hard to shock a man living in a planetary insane asylum, so it doesn’t raise my eyebrows when I watch a people commit suicide.  Nevertheless, I had to shake my head when I read about how Barack Obama’s election has inspired France to consider affirmative-action policies to combat their dreaded "white political and social elite."  Weighing in on this pressing problem is none other than singer, esteemed intellectual and French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.  Writes Cnews.canoe.ca:

  • Impeach Schwarzenegger

    By Selwyn Duke

    Proving that he is about as conversant with American civics as his foreign accent would indicate, Arnold Schwarzenegger has essentially stated that the will of the people means nothing to him.  Michael Rothfeld and Tony Barboza writing at the Los Angeles Times report:

  • Communism on the Rise

    It may be clichéd to quote George Santayana and say that those who
    forget the mistakes of the past are damned to repeat them, but truer
    words were never spoken. Although it may be hard for those who remember
    Soviet bread lines to believe – and even harder for the well-versed in
    history who learned of Soviet mass starvation – workers of the world
    are once again uniting under the red banner. In Japan, for instance,
    economic stagnation, depressed wages, and a workforce that is 44
    percent part-time only has created fertile ground for the Japanese
    Communist Party (JCP), now the nation’s fourth largest political party.

  • Laissez-faire Lies

    By Selwyn Duke

    It’s no secret to the informed that statists are using the current financial crisis as a pretext to increase the power and scope of government.  Yet, the bold-faced lies shameless politicians and pundits will tell in the service of this cause are striking.  And one of them concerns the fanciful notion that we have a laissez-faire economy.

  • Reader Email: You’re Wrong, Duke, the Constitution is a Perfect Document!

    By Selwyn Duke

    Recently I wrote a piece titled "Obama the Justifier," which exposed President-elect Uh-change’s contempt for the Constitution.  In it, while I defended the supreme law of the land, I also stated that is wasn’t as if people such as myself believe the Constitution is infallible.  My purpose in doing this was to point out that while, like the left, we might have ideas about how the document could be even better, unlike the left, we have enough discipline, respect and honor to accept the proposition that if you live in a constitutional republic, you should abide by its constitution (unless its dictates are tyrannical).  While I think this is reasonable, a reader took exception to one element of my position, writing:

  • Jesse Jackson’s Tears

    JessejacksontearsJesse Jackson was moved to tears by Barack Obama’s presidential victory last night, but what was the man really thinking?  Well, since I’ve been blessed with the power of telepathy, I can tell you.

    Ol’ Jesse was truly moved by the realization of how this historic day had changed things irrevocably and thought to himself:

    "All the secret service around . . . .  Now I’ll never get a chance to rip his ____ off!"

  • Historic Election: America Chooses Her First Red President

    By Selwyn Duke

    Congratulations, America!  You have elected a fairly nice looking, charismatic, well-managed Marxist. 

    Equally ridiculous, the odious Al Franken is ahead of incumbent Republican Norm Coleman in the Minnesota senate race.  Well, Franken was never funny as a comedian, but he sure will be funny (in the strangest of ways) as a senator.

    And, just so the lost 52 percent may know what they have visited upon us, I present the following quotation from Cicero:

    A
    nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot
    survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable,
    for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves
    amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through
    all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For
    the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his
    victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the
    baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a
    nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the
    pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no
    longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

  • Voter Intimidation by Black Panthers in Philadelphia
    http://youtube.com/v/aCeD1RcJjAg
    Here we have an example of real voter intimidation, which, as people of discernment understand, it practiced almost exclusively by the left.  And here is the kicker: The reporters allude to the fact that localities are refraining from having a police presence at polling places because they don’t want to be accused of voter intimidation.

    OK, so let’s get this straight.  We’re not going to have police at polling places because A, we might be accused of "racism," and B, it might intimidate a few thugs.  So, instead, we’ll allow the thugs to intimidate the good people.  Well, that’s Amerika for you.  Political correctness strikes again.

  • Obama the Justifier

    By Selwyn Duke

    Election reportage is reaching a fever pitch, and one of the hottest stories concerns a recently revealed interview
    Barack Obama gave to Chicago Public Radio in 2001. In it, then Illinois
    state senator Obama talked about whether his desire to spread the
    wealth around might be better accomplished legislatively or through the
    courts and lamented that the latter hadn’t done enough to further this
    socialist goal.
