  • Is South America on the Brink of War?

    By Selwyn Duke

    It has received scant attention in the midst of our election season jostling, but a very explosive situation has developed in South America.  The Washington Times treated the matter yesterday, writing:

  • A Woman on Women

    By Selwyn Duke

    I must say that my eyebrows were raised by a piece by Charlotte Allen titled "We Scream, We Swoon. How Dumb Can We Get?"  She writes about her incredulity at how emotion driven and bereft of logic so many of her fellow women are.  Now, it’s not the subject matter that shocked me but the fact that a leftist rag like The Washington Post would actually publish something so politically incorrect.  Wow . . . maybe these are the end times.

  • Boy, Do I Hate Duke

    By Selwyn Duke

    Because my estimation of academia couldn’t possibly get any lower, nothing Duke University does to further abuse the lacrosse players it crucified shocks me.  However, the world should be kept apprised of how the phony, hypocritical scoundrels at the institution are comporting themselves.  As to this, Clarice Feldman writing at American Thinker reports:

  • The Mother of All Freudian Slips

    By Selwyn Duke

    When we use the term "Freudian Slip," it’s usually in reference to some ironic but meaningless slip of the tongue.  We might poke some good-hearted fun at the possessor of the slipped tongue, but we know we’re making sport of him and don’t really attach much importance to his mistake.  Yet, if ever there was a meaningful Freudian Slip, one that is both profoundly funny and bespeaks of a hidden Truth in a person’s heart, it was John McCain calling himself a "proud liberal."

  • Obama’s Terrorist Associations

    By Selwyn Duke

    Author Jonah Goldberg was on Hannity & Colmes last night talking about another one of Barack Obama’s unseemly associations.  He pointed out that the Illinois Lip once consorted with Bill Ayers, a former Weather Underground terrorist who set off bombs as part of his campaign against America.

  • An Apology for Slavery?

    By Selwyn Duke

    During the past year, five states have apologized for slavery, and now there’s an effort to follow suit in Congress.  Personally, I find this sickening.  And I’d like to make something clear: If our esteemed "leaders" issue such an apology, they do not do so on my behalf.  Leave me out of it.

  • Real Inconvenient Truths…. About Abortion

    660268_low
    By Selwyn Duke

    Out of Britain comes a very sad, sad story. Emma Beck, an artist
    tormented by having aborted her twins, was found hanging at her home a
    day before her 31st birthday. Expressing her grief and regret in a
    suicide note, she wrote: "I should never have had an abortion. I see
    now I would have been a good mum."

  • A Great Exposition on Abortion

    One of the sad things about philosophical works and social commentary is that some of the greatest examples get lost in the recesses of libraries and the Web and are seldom seen again.  An example of this is "20 Questions for Pro-choice People," by philosophy professor Mike Pakaluk.  Although most college professors are so far left that they’ve left the country,  Pakaluk is a wonderful exception, a man who is truly worthy of the title "philosopher."

  • A Must-read – Kosovo: Islamism’s New Beachhead?

    On Friday, FrontPageMagazine.com published an absolutely phenomenal article about our insane recognition of an "independent Kosovo," an action which helps to establish a Moslem beachhead in Europe.  The piece is written by Julia Gorin, and she does an excellent job of placing this matter in perspective, writing:

  • Newsmax: The Real Barack Obama

    Ronald Kessler of Newsmax.com wrote a very good piece titled "The Real Barack Obama."   He discusses Michelle Obama’s statement wherein she said, "I am proud of my country for the first time in my adult life."
