A Real Duke Rape Case

By Selwyn Duke

We all remember the infamous Duke University rape frame-up case, in which three white lacrosse players were falsely accused of raping a black female stripper. It was front-page news coast to coast, as it had all the elements of a mainstream-media cause célèbre: the perfect victim and the perfect villains, a “downtrodden” black woman of modest means and three “privileged” white college boys. Thus did the hard-left alliance of media, academia, and a Democrat prosecutor try its best to lynch the three, and if the stripper’s story hadn’t changed with the wind, the students could very well be sitting in prison currently.

But now we have a real Duke rape case, and one that largely conforms to the above narrative. Frank Lombard, Duke’s associate director of the Center for Health Policy, faces federal criminal charges for offering his adopted five-year-old adopted son for sex. Where are the parallels? Lombard is white and well-to-do while his victim, the son, is black (Lombard also has a second adopted son, who is black as well).

Sanford's and Ensign's Fall from Grace Fuels Immorality Police

The marital infidelity of South Carolina governor Mark Sanford and Nevada senator John Ensign provides yet more ammunition to those who would attack morality.

By Selwyn Duke

When I placed Governor Mark Sanford's name and the word "hypocrite" into the Google search engine, it yielded 14,700 results. Since he admitted that he had an extra-marital affair and given the rise of the morality assassins, this isn't surprising. Nothing pleases libertines like finding out that someone who shone light on their darkness has joined them in the muck.

Guest Commentary: Who Should Build America's Rail System?

By Marilyn Barnewall

Why is high speed rail important to economic recovery? Why should you care about it? There is one primary reason and a large number of secondary ones.

Congressman John Conyers' Wife Pleads Guilty to Accepting Bribes
Monica Conyers, wife of Rep. John Conyers and Detroit City Council member, has just pled guilty to awarding a sludge contract to a Houston company in exchange for cash bribes.  It is an offense punishable with up to five years in prison.

In reality, this video has nothing to do with her malfeasance; it does, however, perfectly illustrate the kind of person she is.  In it she attacks a fellow council member, calling him "Shrek."  She also complains about how he was "disrespectin'" her.  Well, although I wouldn't be surprised if she wriggles out of prison time, I'd like to see how much she be respected in the big house.

If you're wondering why I've covered this, it's just because I want to return the favor.  After all, during the immigration debate in 2007, Rep. Conyers cited me on the House floor, saying:

In the current debate on immigration, for example, conservative commentator Selwyn Duke just yesterday inveighed against any immigration (legal or not). He warned, ‘‘[R]eplace our population with a Mexican or Moslem one and you no longer have a western civilization, you no longer have America. You have Mexico North or Iran West.’’

As we have heard in other hearings before this Subcommittee, however, nothing can be further from the truth.

So now I want to give him some exposure as well.  And since he was kind in his rejection of my incisive commentary, I'll return that favor also.  Rep. Conyers, there are no hard feelings whatsoever.  If you have to be married to the harridan in the above video, you have my sympathy, buddy.  You have my sympathy.

 You know, given that Rep. Conyers will actually have some peace if his better half does a stretch, I can just see him lobbying on her behalf: "Listen, if you give her more than five years, I'm reeeeeally going to be upset!  Really, really upset.  I dare you!"

Teachers Paid to do Nothing

By Selwyn Duke

In this age of budget woes and bailouts, it may surprise some to hear that governments are paying workers to do nothing. Yet that is exactly what is happening in New York City, where hundreds of school teachers accused of misconduct — sometimes the sexual variety — are receiving upwards of $70,000 annually to wile away time in "temporary reassignment centers," with taxpayers footing the bill to the tune of $65 million a year. Karen Matthews of the Associated Press reports:

Because their union contract makes it extremely difficult to fire them, the teachers have been banished by the school system to its "rubber rooms" — off-campus office space where they wait months, even years, for their disciplinary hearings.

Wednesday's Savage Nation Radio Appearance: Which Side Really Inspires Violence, the Right or Left?

With the late-term termination of abortionist Dr. George Tiller, many on the left accuse the right of inspiring violence. But what is the Truth of the matter? Can it be rightly said that people can inspire others to commit violence? And, if so, is the right more culpable than the left? Or is it the other way around?

Reader Email: What Does "Turn the Other Cheek" Really Mean?

By Selwyn Duke

Today I'm going to respond to a reader who had a question relating to my last article, "Which Side Really Inspires Violence, the Right or Left?"  Here is the email the reader, LR, sent:

Brooke Greenberg - An Eternal Baby?? - 2005
Most of you have heard of progeria, the rare genetic condition that causes children to exhibit symptoms that resemble aging. Well, this is a story about a girl who is, in a way, stuck in time; she now should be an adolescent but still has the physical and mental development of a toddler. This news piece was done when she was 12, but today, at 16, she still looks the same.

The girl is the only known person in the world with such a condition and doctors are stumped as to the cause. However, they believe that studying her case may provide insight into the aging process.

Which Side Really Inspires Violence, the Right or Left?

By Selwyn Duke

Is the right responsible for inspiring murder, such as that of late-term abortionist George Tiller by Kansas native Scott Roeder?  Some certainly seem to think so.  For instance, the Friday before last Bill O’Reilly had as a guest on his show Joan Walsh, the editor of leftist news site Salon.com.  She appeared because she had criticized O’Reilly for engaging in what she called a “jihad” against Tiller.  Her thesis is that O’Reilly and, presumably, the rest of us who are passionately pro-life are culpable Tiller’s death.

Obama's Plan to Give Unlimited Power to the Federal Reserve

Here is something else the mainstream media won't say much about: Obama's plan to further empower the Federal Reserve. So, who is it again who tries to control people's lives, liberals or conservatives?

Hey, Obama voters, how's that change workin' for ya?
