  • Environmentalists Orchestrating Our Oil Woes

    By Selwyn Duke

    One of the very best columnists on the journalistic scene is Walter Williams.  His articles aren’t filled with flowery prose or esoteric terms (like esoteric!); they just cut to the heart of the matter and provide simple, reasoned analysis.  In fact, I can hardly think of an instance where he has written something with which I disagree.  Every piece is a home run, including this one, about how Congress, at the behest of environmentalist extremists, is largely responsible for our high oil prices.

  • A Teacher Reports from the Front Lines

    By Selwyn Duke

    The St. Petersburg Times is running an article by one Melanie Hubbard, an erstwhile college professor who decided to take a foray into teaching high school.  She speaks of classroom horror stories; of undisciplined, uncivilized "students" who have no respect for anyone or anything; of an environment in which the inmates run the asylum.  Writes Hubbard:

  • Prescribing Ritalin for Toddlers

    While we commonly see bumpers bearing the message "Hugs are better
    than drugs," you’d never know we believe it from our legalized-drug
    culture. Recently I cited statistics indicating that 20 million
    Americans, 40 percent of college students, and 1 out of 9
    schoolchildren are on psychoactive medication.

  • Reader Email: Choosing Obama Based on Race is Fine

    By Selwyn Duke

    Today I’m responding to a reader who is quite dismissive about the truth regarding race and Barack Obama.  He is A.F. and writes:

  • Hitler and Christianity

    By Selwyn Duke

       Long ago, during the darkest chapter of the 20th century, a movie was released entitled Hitler’s Children.
    While the film is virtually forgotten, I cannot forget a certain scene
    involving some words a Nazi official uttered to a dissident, a heroic
    Catholic bishop. Dripping with contempt, the officer said (I’m
    paraphrasing), “In a few years, the churches will be empty.”
    It was a thought he obviously relished. Ah, Hollywood and its fiction …
    or, is this a snapshot of history, a rare case in which Tinseltown’s
    art imitated life?

  • The Real Discrimination Causing the Male/Female Wage Gap

    By Selwyn Duke

    We all know about the lifespan gap between the sexes that favors
    women. Now, what if I said it was due to discrimination, that it
    obviously means men’s health issues are ignored by a callous,
    misandristic society; thus, government must intervene to balance the
    scales.

  • The Crime of Being White

    By Selwyn Duke

    Just recently I wrote a piece about Keith
    John Sampson    , a college student who was charged with “racial harassment”
    for reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan
    book. Not surprisingly, the article
    evoked a great response, including emails from those with their own stories to
    tell about persecution inspired by what I will call caucaphobia. A couple of these accounts are so compelling
    – compared to one even Sampson’s problems pale – that I’ve decided to publish
    them in this piece (both readers allowed me to use their names; their
    correspondence has been edited for punctuation, grammar and style). These are the stories the mainstream media
    won’t tell, straight from the front lines of the culture war. They give voice to a persecution whose name
    most dare not utter.

  • Warped Moral Compasses

    By Selwyn Duke

    To perpetuate anything worthy of the name "civilization," a people must be able to make correct judgments.  Oh, I know that j-word has become unfashionable, along with "punishment" and "sin" and a few others.  But don’t be fooled; don’t cede that illusory high road to the leftists, as most of their opponents do.   While they may proudly don the mantle of non-judgmentalism, remember that they render more judgments than most anyone.  They’re just different judgments.

  • European Court to Hear Chimp’s Plea for Human Rights

    By Selwyn Duke

    First there was the German Constitution, which actually contains a provision for animal rights, and now the "European Court of Human Rights" (another entity we should scrap) will hear a Chimps’ plea to be declared a "person."  Writes ThisisLondon.co.uk:

  • Obama’s Chivalry

    By Selwyn Duke

    So Barack Obama has just issued a warning: Lay off my wife!  Upset about the attacks on his unpatrio . . . oh, sorry, I mean, his better half, he said:
