The Covetous Crew of the COP15

By Selwyn Duke

While Copenhagen seems poised to enjoy a white Christmas, an equally noticeable color in the city was red, with flag-waving communists and socialists protesting and hoisting banners with messages such as “CAPITALISM MEANS WAR” and “CAPITALISM ISN’T WORKING, Crush the system not the climate.” They were well represented within the conference as well, with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe and Bolivian President Evo Morales all registering such sentiments. 

The limelight-lusting Chavez, who undermines his nation’s rule of law and suppresses its press with equal vigor, spoke for four times longer than his allotted five minutes, leaving plenty of time to bang his communist drum. Reporting on the Venezuelan’s comments, ABC.net.au, wrote:

On the Front Lines of Global Warming Hysteria: Your Kids

By Selwyn Duke

When I was a wee lad in elementary school — this was back when global cooling was dogma — we kids had all heard about killer bees. You may remember the story: Scientists in Brazil had bred the African honey bee with a European honey bee and succeeded in creating, well, a really mean bee. These hybrids then escaped from their captors and started spreading throughout the Americas, bullying the nice bees and occasionally killing people. This prompted some sensationalistic stories in the media about the perils of these impudent insects, and we kids were scared. Would K-i-l-l-e-r B-e-e-s (gasp!) be the end of us? I suppose it could have made a good movie. The “Bees from Brazil,” anyone?

Obama Regulatory Pick's Pro-animal Rights and Anti-First Amendment Activism

By Selwyn Duke

It's not surprising that Harvard man Barack Obama wouldn't share late writer William F. Buckley's sentiment that "I would rather be governed by 400 people out of the phone book than the whole faculty of Harvard." In fact, although he won't manage to fill the Congress with the staff of his alma mater, he certainly is making sure his administration is replete with its members.

And Obama is now making another addition to his many Harvard-honed underlings with the nomination of Cass Sunstein to be head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at OMB, a position commonly known as the "regulatory czar."

Here is a Great Example of Leftist Insanity
Many people find this funny, but to me it's just pathetic. It's a video of a group of leftist activists talking to the trees in a forest. If only it were a spoof.

Ready the straitjackets and rubber trucks.

BILL MAHER: Foolish Rambling about Global Warming
This segment from Bill Maher's show is a good example of what the sheeple are exposed to, and why they are sheeple. As for Maher, he's living proof of why a little knowledge is dangerous. A more smug man there never was, yet he is as nonintellectual as they come.

How to Handle a Child Brainwashed with Environmentalist Propaganda

We all know about how children today are being indoctrinated with environmentalist propaganda.  Well, there is a very distressing but not surprising article here about how a survey has shown that one in three American preteens fear an environmental apolcalypse.  But my focus right now is not on the piece but on a comment left under it by a parent.  This individual, who goes by the handle "Reformed Environ-Mental," offered some great advice to parents who find that their children are bringing environmentalist dogma home with them from school.  Here is what he said:

European Environment Minister Calls Green Position on Climate Change "hysterical psuedo-religion"

By Selwyn Duke

BBC News is running a piece about British Environment Minister Sammy Wilson.  He is one of those rare politically-incorrect European public figures, as he scoffs at the notion of anthropogenic climate change.  Writes the BBC: 

New American Piece: A Global Population Ice Age

This article first appeared in the June 23, 2008 issue of The New American magazine.

By Selwyn Duke

If you’re like most alive today, you grew up with Paul R. Ehrlich’s Malthusian idea of a “population bomb.” It just seems like common sense that man will increase his numbers inexorably until, one day, we find ourselves living a real-life Soylent Green scenario, sans drama and Charlton Heston to sound that indelible alarm about the real source of a futuristic, overpopulated world’s food supply, “Soylent Green is people!”

Democrats: It’s Time to Feign Green

By Selwyn Duke

If you listened to the mainstream media, you’d think conservatives have a monopoly on hypocrisy. If a figure has espoused traditional morality even just once at some point in the past and then falls from grace, our press will descend on him like vultures. You can be a Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy or Gerry Studds, but woe betide the Larry Craigs, Mark Foleys, and Ted Haggards of the world, for justice is mine, saith the New York Times.

Demographic Winter

By Selwyn Duke

If you're a frequent visitor to this site, you might have noticed a recent change, the lefthand-side banner advertisement for a documentary titled "Demographic Winter."  It's the first ad ever to appear at SelwynDuke.com, and for good reason.
