  • The Wrath of John

    By Selwyn Duke

    Writing in the New York Post, columnist Charles Hurt warns of the obvious.  John McCain may be campaigning as a conservative, says he, but once in office  the senator will show his true colors and take a sharp left turn.  Hurt opines:

  • Romney’s Real Problem

    By Selwyn Duke

    With campaign 2008 in full swing, pundits are wondering why Republicans aren’t coalescing around the candidate who has assumed the most conservative posture, Mitt Romney.   They’re trying to explain why John McCain has become the front-runner despite an embrace of leftist measures ranging from the scamnesty bill to the McCain-Feingold violation of the First Amendment.  And they generally get it all wrong.

  • Mississippi Fat Burning

    Obesity
    By Selwyn Duke

    Believe it or not, three Mississippi legislators, Bobby Shows, W.T.
    Mayhall, Jr. and John Read, have proposed a law that would prohibit
    restaurants from serving those with "friendly fronts." Imagine that,
    denying a business its best customers.

  • More on the Climate Change Con

    By Selwyn Duke

    On the heels of what I just posted about global warming comes another piece on the subject.  Bill Hahn tells us of Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu, a top climate scientist who fears that science will lose credibility once the public learns the truth about climate change.   Writes  Hahn:

  • Exposing the Global Warming Hoax

    By Selwyn Duke

    Agricultural journalist Jerry Carlson has written an excellent article about the global warming hoax.   He  points out that the truth about climate change — that it’s simply part of a natural cycle — may start to be reported by the mainstream media.  He writes:

  • An Anti-Christian Children’s Book

    By Selwyn Duke

    The secular fundamentalists are on the march, and one of their latest efforts is a German children’s book that impugns religion.  It’s a blunt, vile screed titled How Do I Get to God, Asked the Small Piglet, which seems like it was written by a low-rent Christopher Hitchens.   In a DW-World.DE piece about the book, the writers describe it this way:

  • The Clintons, Race, and the 50-year-old Calculation

    Hillaryobama By Selwyn Duke

    Since I think the Clintons would probably sell their souls and firstborn for another White House tenure, the idea they would play the race card raises no eyebrow here. They are political creatures first, most everything else second and statesmen last. For this to elude one, he must have his head planted firmly in a particularly dense grade of sand.

  • Giuliani’s Out – Who’s Surprised?

    By Selwyn Duke

    Quite predictably, Rudolph Giuliani has withdrawn from the presidential race.  His campaign had hit the skids, and, if he couldn’t win in Florida, with all its transplanted New Yorkers, he couldn’t have won anywhere.  Yet his decline in the polls was also predictable, and, in fact, I did predict it.

  • Southern Ledger: Is John McCain Eligible to Be President?

    There is a discussion on the Web about whether or not John McCain is constitutionally qualified to be president.  Rodger Hedgecock discusses this, and here is an excerpt:

    John McCain was born in 1936 on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone to American citizen parents. There is no question he is a citizen of the United States; the question is whether John McCain is a “natural born citizen” “eligible to the Office of President”.

  • John McManus Piece: Trashing McCarthy Becomes a Lot More Difficult

    Writer John McManus has a terrific piece about who is perhaps the most unfairly maligned man in American history, Joe McCarthy.  McManus makes the case that McCarthy was correct: There was communist infiltration in the U.S. government in the 1950s.  And, of course, not only is this true, but now those individuals get to run for the presidency. 

    But here’s how McManus frames it:
