Principal Fired for Pushing Anti-homosexual Agenda

By Selwyn Duke

If there ever was an example of inmates running an asylum, it’s the modern government-school system. Thanks to numerous court rulings, students can now buck authority with the freedom to wear clothing and espouse political and social messages that their school – perhaps reflecting the wider community’s standards – deems objectionable.

County Cracks Down on Illegals, Crime Drops

By Selwyn Duke

We really do live in a topsy-turvy world.   Today, no matter how based in common sense a measure might be, some people will always crawl out of the woodwork to tell you why up is down, hot is cold and left is right.  One example of this is opposition to cracking down on illegal immigration. 

O'Reilly Factor Discusses Hate Crimes

By Selwyn Duke

Laura Ingraham was filling in for Bill O'Reilly last night on his cable news show, and one of the segments pertained to an alleged rise in "hate crimes" in 2007.  She had as a guest Brian Levin, a civil rights attorney and Director of the Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino.  Despite that title, however, it seems that Counselor Levin is a man who shouldn't think, because when he does, he does it all wrong.

Convicted Murderer: Vote Obama

By Selwyn Duke

Before convicted murderer Dale Leo Bishop was executed on Wednesday, he urged people to vote for Barack Obama.  But he made a big mistake.  He should have voiced his support for the Illinois senator earlier. 

He might have gotten off by reason of insanity.   

Nation of the Apes

By Selwyn Duke

It’s ironic, but a country perhaps best known for bullfighting is taking the lead on “animal rights,” as Spain has approved a resolution that could ultimately grant apes legal rights. Reports timesonline.co.uk:

Audio: Autism Experts Speak Out

By Selwyn Duke

On Monday of this week, The Savage Nation radio show was devoted to the topic of autism, with many experts from the mental-health field appearing.  It was possibly one of the best shows on the condition ever aired, informative and eye-opening.  Thus, I'm providing a link here to interviews and audio clips from the program.  I especially want to draw your attention to clip number six, an interview with Dr. Peter Breggin, the founder of the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology.  He speaks of the corruption in the mental-health field, the creation of phony diagnoses and the over-drugging of American children.  Other clips are worth listening to as well, as they feature other mental-health professionals and people who have suffered the misfortune of having their children misdiagnosed.  But don't miss the interview with Dr.  Breggin.

In the News - 7/22/08

By Selwyn Duke

First up, Mexico has awarded its highest honor to Ted Kennedy for the work he has done on behalf of immigrants and invaders.  I think it's called the Medal of the American Traitor.  Congrats, Ted.

As you may know, The New York Times has again tipped its liberal hand, refusing to publish a commentary written by John McCain.  This is staggering since the paper had just published a piece on Iraq by Barack Obama and McCain's article was merely a rebuttal.

Autism Story Update

By Selwyn Duke

There are two more things I want to mention about Michael Savage's comments on Autism and my subsequent commentary.  First, Savage has now addressed the matter at his website, and his explanation vindicates my interpretation of what he said.  But more on that in a moment.  Second, after talking to a friend who scoffed at the idea that Autism could be misdiagnosed, it occurred to me where a great source of confusion lies.

Judge-mentally Impaired Should Get Off Michael Savage’s Back

By Selwyn Duke

It seems as if taking offense is the recreation of choice in modern America. The latest example (of which I’m aware; I’m sure our UPS {umbrage per second} statistic is sky high) has resulted in a planned protest at WOR Radio in Manhattan over some comments radio talk show host Michael Savage made concerning autism. Or, to be precise, the commentary involved not that condition but behavior that might be misdiagnosed as autism. Here is what Savage said, as reported by wcbstv.com:

Our Energy Woes: Just Nuke It

By Selwyn Duke

While many stress that we must become energy sufficient, relatively few are truly serious about it.  I know this because achieving such a state isn't that difficult; it just requires one to accept reality and reject ideology.
