Selwyn Duke

George Washington once said, “Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion." But what do studies of the behavior of religious and secular people really show? Which group witnesses better for its world view?

Our Founding Fathers knew that there is an inextricable link between liberty and virtue; however, many conservatives today are unwittingly helping liberals define deviancy downward by their use and acceptance of profane and vulgar language.

 

Demography may not be destiny, but it sure is close. As minorities, who reliably vote for Democratic candidates, begin to outnumber whites, who often vote for Republicans, will we see a tipping point where Republican presidential candidates stand little chance of winning?

Popular liberal myths can fool even the most informed among us, and believing in myths can lead to a skewed worldview, which can have serious consequences for ourselves and our country.

The Composite President

If you cast a ballot for Barack Obama, is it possible to know what you're voting for? Upon digging into the president's personal history,  everything about Obama seems a composite fabrication. With Mr. Barack Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama (PBUH), nothing is as it seems.

For 16 years Barack Obama's literary agency touted him as "born in Kenya." Supposedly "this was nothing more than a fact checking error." Mistake or not, the President is simply not telling the truth.

The Truth About Homosexuality

Is homosexuality really biologically induced? And, if it were, what would this mean for its morality? The operative principle here is simple: Biology doesn’t determine morality.

It's not that the Left is "redefining" marriage — it's that conservatives must redefine the debate. The question in this debate should never be one of rights. It should be one of definitions. If we accept that marriage is, by definition, the union between a man and woman and nothing else, the faux-marriage-rights argument is moot.

Title IX for Thee but Not for a He

Our social engineers preach fairness but practice favoritism.

Case in point: Thirteen-year-old Keeling Pilaro, of  Suffolk County, New York, is being denied the right to compete in sports based solely on sex.

A Rasmussen poll indicates that Barack Obama's announcement in support of same-sex marriage is costing him support among middle Americans.
