Dear Robert, Thank you for responding. Well, you're nothing if not consistent. If you ever deviated from a Democrat talking point and espoused common sense, I think I'd have a major heart attack, heel over and die. I provided a link to a study indicating that the rate of non-citizen voting is unacceptably high. But, unfortunately, your mind isn't just closed — it's nailed shut. God bless, Selwyn Duke (P.S. — I understand you live in my county. Which posh town is it, Rob? AOC was in Yorktown Heights. Are you in Scarsdale? Whichever one it is, I hope you're taking some migrants into your home.)

Dear April, Thank you for responding. Yes, I've long said that in 2016, the Democrats were caught flat-footed; they didn't grasp the magnitude of Trump's hidden support. They weren't going to make that mistake again in 2020 — and didn't. (I predicted before the 2020 election that Trump would lose and that vote fraud would be the reason.) I've also long said that it's unfathomable to think the Left won't replicate the 2020 election theft this year. They already know the drill, after all. And why wouldn't they? It's not as if they've had a road to Damascus moment. I hope that, by some miracle, Trump can still win. But I don't think the probability of that is high. God bless, Selwyn Duke

Hi, TJ, Thank you for responding. You're cute. But the only position I'll accept is king. As for Shanahan, she's still a liberal. All that has happened is that she has realized that the media lied to her about MAGA supporters having horns. Let's hope, though, that she continues growing and reaches, to echo the terminology a priest once used, a higher "stage of conversion." God bless, Selwyn Duke

Dear John, Thank you for responding. I have my facts very, very straight on this; in fact, I researched the subject years ago and wrote a long magazine essay about it. It's here: https://thenewamerican.com/us/culture/history/hitler-and-christianity/ Remember that Hitler was a liar and would pose as a defender of Christianity (and as other things) when it was expeditious. But the Nazis absolutely were trying to destroy the faith. God bless, Selwyn Duke

Dear TJ, Thanks again for responding. I must say, as I believe I've said before, that I find it hard to believe you read the article. I explained very clearly that we shouldn't ignore our culture's faults. In fact, what do I do for a living, TJ? I'm a social critic! My business is criticizing our culture and government. My message here, however, is different. First, we shouldn't be criticizing America based on left-wing measures and imperatives. Second, we should be like virtually every other nationality in one respect: We shouldn't feel compelled to issue an imperfection disclaimer every time we tout our civilization's accomplishments. And I explain why. Since you're clearly a smart fellow, I have to conclude that you either didn't read the piece or that you read it too quickly to apprehend the arguments. For what you infer is not at all what I, through the piece, imply (or say explicitly). God bless, Selwyn Duke
