Reader Email: You're Wrong, Duke, the Constitution is a Perfect Document!

By Selwyn Duke

Recently I wrote a piece titled "Obama the Justifier," which exposed President-elect Uh-change's contempt for the Constitution.  In it, while I defended the supreme law of the land, I also stated that is wasn't as if people such as myself believe the Constitution is infallible.  My purpose in doing this was to point out that while, like the left, we might have ideas about how the document could be even better, unlike the left, we have enough discipline, respect and honor to accept the proposition that if you live in a constitutional republic, you should abide by its constitution (unless its dictates are tyrannical).  While I think this is reasonable, a reader took exception to one element of my position, writing:

How Can You Feature That Horrible Video? Duke Responds to Poster

A loyal reader has taken exception to the fact that I posted the video "The Audacity of Hate," which highlights Barack Obama's bigoted allies.  Here is her criticism:

Was Civilization Always Promiscuous? Duke Responds to Poster

By Selwyn Duke

Was society always as promiscuous as today?  The answer to this question should be obvious, yet there are people who would say yes.  One of them responded to my piece "Does Pro-life Now Mean Pro-libertinism?" saying that the idea of traditional values before the time of the sexual revolution is a myth.  The name he posted under (I assume it's his real name) is Robert Berger, and he wrote:

By Selwyn Duke

Mr. Duke:

Thanks for your essay, "The war on boys: Where feminists and men's rights activists go wrong" and for drawing attention to this issue. I'm writing to say that, in my opinion, you're off base in saying that schools lack discipline and are all about "feel-good schemes."

Today I'm responding to a reader who is quite dismissive about the truth regarding race and Barack Obama.  He is A.F. and writes:

Reader Email: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

By Selwyn Duke

My last two pieces, the one on Obama and the one on psychology, have evoked quite a response.  And the emails run the gamut; some are literate and uplifting, others are just complimentary (always welcome!), while others still are indicative of extreme dislocation from reality.  Here are a few, and after each one I have included a response.

Selwyn Duke Responds to Critics of Conversion Article

By Selwyn Duke

My recent piece about how we should react to those who pray for our conversion evoked a greater response than I had supposed it would.  (I expect Howard Stern, rap stars and all other things scatological to attract attention, but not something frivolous like philosophy).  Most of the emails were positive; however, I received a number from Jewish people who, in varying measures, objected to my defense of prayer for conversion.  One reader wrote:
