    George Rebane - Has political speech threatened violence?- Consequential voting in democracies- The Gospel of Peer Review- Penn & Teller’s survey of environmentalists All Americans get concerned when political speech threatens violence.  The current charges that the right stepped over the line with threatening phone calls, tossing bricks through windows, snipping gas lines, calling a black legislator “nigger”, and…

  • ‘Obama Awakens the Nation’

    George Rebane Gary Hubbell of the Aspen Times Weekly writes a hopeful piece about the Obama administration.  Passage of Obamacare has left me in a dour mood with the Rebane flag at half staff.  But ‘this too shall pass’ and we need something to look forward to.  Hubbell’s essay seeks the brighter side of this…

  • Stupak the Stupid (or is it the Spineless?)

    George Rebane Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) presents at the same time the best and worst views of a professional politician.  This man has pandered his voters for years on the notion that he was like most of them, against the federal funding of abortion.  Suddenly nationalized healthcare hung in the balance.  Then, recognizing the man…

    George Rebane ‘Propaganda in the mornin’, propaganda in the evenin’, propaganda all the live-long day.’  It’s been a full time job, going on two years now, to put lipstick on this pig.  And it’s not over yet as the President prepares to depart on a cross country campaign to sell Obamacare.  This is the new…

    George Rebane Justifiably giddy with their fundamentally transforming victory Sunday, the Administration is opening its kimono.  The Reverend Al Sharpton has been elevated into the White House circle, and after conferring with President Obama, he went before the cameras to declare, “… the American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected Barack Obama.” The…

  • The Day After …

    George Rebane Yesterday’s nationquake still trembles, and now we await the aftershocks that will follow in the coming months.  They will come as surprises to many but not all of us.  Only one much-touted promise of Obamacare will actually come true – redistributive subsidies.  But you will NOT see the promised • Lower insurance premiums, they will…

  • The First of a Grand Trifecta?

    George Rebane The passage of Obamacare promises to be the first salvo of the socialist trifecta that takes the country well beyond the tipping point from the Republic the Founders left us.  The left will celebrate this day as the beginning of the end of the evil United States that they have been battling against…

    George Rebane [I recorded this as my regular KVMR FM89.5 commentary for broadcast on 19 March 2010.  President Obama appears to be ready to re-establish equal outcomes as the proxy for equal opportunity, a proxy which was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2001.] The equal opportunity debate is now at least forty-five years old.  The…
