O’Donnell vs. Coons: Analyzing Extremism

By Selwyn Duke

Unlike for most Americans, the Delaware senatorial primary was not my first introduction to Christine O’Donnell.  I remembered her from as far back as approximately 15 years ago, making appearances on shows such as “Politically Incorrect.”  So when I heard about her supposed “extremist views,” I had to wonder if I was overlooking something.  It’s hard to forget such a pretty face, but did I fail to recollect some strange aspect of her ideology?

Barack Obama: The Man Who Would be God?

By Selwyn Duke

When writing about Barack Obama’s religious orientation recently, I pointed out that while I do believe he favors Muslim over Western culture, bowing before another — even God — is above his humility grade.  I further mentioned that in keeping with this self-centeredness, Obama is (like all leftists) someone who denies moral reality.

Bill Clinton Helps the Republicans Run against Bush

By Selwyn Duke

You’ve probably heard that joke concerning what’s actually happening when Bill Clinton’s lips are moving, but sometimes the truth does manage to negotiate his tongue.  And his recent trip to Minnesota to campaign for Democrat gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton might just be one of these instances — well, sort of.

Abortion Mills Kept Dead Babies in Jars — Like Serial-killer Trophies

By Selwyn Duke

In a piece I just penned about assaults on Austrian pro-lifers, I mentioned the very bizarre Museum of Abortion and Contraception in Vienna. It is a macabre place “cataloguing a history of human effort through the ages devoted to suppressing or destroying the next generation of human life in the womb,” as the pro-life LifeSiteNews.com put it.

But while actually creating a museum-in-name dedicated to the culture of death is unusual, it seems that the desire to do so may not be. This is because, in a shocking discovery made during investigations of health and safety code violations, two different U.S. abortion mills in two different states were found to have created their own “museums” of death — featuring dead babies and their body parts.

Law Looks Other Way While Pro-lifers are Attacked

By Selwyn Duke

The right to peaceful protest is one virtually all Westerners hold dear, but, apparently, not when it’s applied to pro-lifers. Apparently, that is, if the systematic abuse of some Austrian pro-life activists is any indication.

The situation involves a notorious Vienna abortionist named Dr. Christian Fiala, who has hired thugs for the purposes of harassing, assaulting, and sexually abusing peaceful pro-life protesters. And despite the fact that these crimes have been caught on videotape — and that the culprits have been committing them for years — authorities have thus far turned a blind eye. LifeSiteNews.com’s Kathleen Gilbert reports on the matter, writing:

Liberals Creating Anti-Muslim Hate

By Selwyn Duke

One of the quickest ways to provoke resentment in a sibling relationship is for the parents to continually show favoritism to one of the children. And here is a Psychology 101 question: Whom will the disadvantaged child often despise more: A, the parents; or B, the apple-of-the-eye sibling? Ever since an envious Cain murdered Abel, we’ve known the answer.

Given this aspect of man’s nature, what do you think will be the result of the liberal tendency to consistently show favoritism to Muslim groups and causes?

As an example of this tendency, consider Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s response to the Ground Zero mosque controversy.

The Hazards of Ensuring Safety

By Selwyn Duke

Back when my family vacationed in Miami Beach, it wasn’t uncommon for the hotels abutting the shoreline to have high diving boards. I mean sometimes really high — maybe even the kind you see on Olympics telecasts. It was a scary jump for me as a child, but I think I mustered the courage once or twice. But I couldn’t as an adolescent. You see, the boards were closed down by then (circa 1980), an obvious victim of our society’s increasing litigiousness. Insurance regulations, you know.

And it’s far worse today, as we’re being lawyered and insured into an antiseptic, killjoy state. As an example, it’s just been announced that elementary schools in Cabell County, West Virginia, are removing all swing sets for fear of litigation. A school official cited a recent lawsuit in which the district had to pay out $20,000 after a boy broke his arm jumping off a swing à la Superman.

The Islamization of Paris

This is an eye-opening video about the Islamization of Paris. Ahh, the French and the sweet smell of surrender. Charles Martel must be rolling over in his grave.

The Envious Feminist

By Selwyn Duke

People are emotional beings, often governed more by feelings than reason.  And this is never truer than with leftist people.

If you want to understand liberals, know that most of their ideology is simply a pseudo-intellectual justification for what feels right to them.  As for these feelings, the one stereotypically associated with the left is compassion, which supposedly manifests itself in mercy, charity, forgiveness and temperance.  In reality, though, a feeling that far better characterizes the left is envy.

How Liberals Reason

This video speaks for itself.  Give it a gander; I don't think you'll be disappointed.
