Month: March 2012

  • Why we rage and what we can never condone

    George Rebane Here's a detail that has escaped me about the whole can of worms about the millions of illegal aliens in our country and the thousands more arriving every month.  The US Code dating back to 1940 required all aliens in the US to present proper identification giving evidence of their status when required…

  • The ‘Global One Percent’ Myth

    George Rebane The income inequality issue will not go away.  It is Team Obama’s main causus belli, and underpins all of their re-election strategy.  But the progressive tenets of income inequality are a myth that has again been exposed, most recently using data from a Swedish study that is reported in the 9mar12 WSJ piece…

  • Are we really that dense?

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my regular column in The Union that was published in its 10mar12 print and online editions.] This administration has gone into maximum bamboozle mode on the nation’s energy policy.  Their lies and contradictions are coming out so fast and thick that it’s hard to count, let alone…

  • An Ideal Politician

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 9 March 2012.] If you were to spell out some attributes of an ideal and laudable politician, what would they be?  I’ve thought about this for some time now, especially as these attributes might apply to the local and statewide people we…

  • ‘Greece Passes Key Debt Test’, NOT!

    George Rebane The world’s newspapers are heralding the massive haircut taken by Greek sovereign debt holders as some kind of triumphal finesse in international finance.  Specifically – Just over 80% of Greece’s private-sector creditors had agreed by a Thursday evening deadline to turn in their bonds for new ones with less than half the face…

  • The Candyass Republicans (9mar12 update)

    George Rebane The subject of this post is the candyass response of Republican politicians to the Limbaugh/Fluke imbroglio. On ‘The Sad Tale of Sandra Fluke’ and extensive comment stream continues to (finally) air the destructive twists and turns of Obamacare that once more revealed the Left’s intentions on the breadth of entitlements subsidizing personal recreation,…

  • Major cash importers finally discovered (updated 6mar12)

    George Rebane Memo to File: The current Economic Resource Council and its hired analyst Gene Warren have discovered that “retirees could be ticket to better local economy” as reported in the 5mar12 Union (couldn’t find online version).  This little piece of information should be old hat to anyone who has been paying attention for the…

  • The Sad Tale of Sandra Fluke (updated 6mar12)

    George Rebane That Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut is a debate for other fora, but I do want to reflect on the broader ramifications of having the state pay for the prophylactics used in sexual intercourse.  The practice is hugely supported by the left because it underwrites another cut to the traditional cultural…

  • Nevada County Scattershots – 3 March 2012

    George Rebane Friend Bob Crabb’s 3mar12 Union cartoon above captures well the spirit and goals of Agenda21 (q.v.), and the brave new world we are being herded to pell-mell.  (BTW, Bob now has his own blog which you can visit through the ‘Our Links’ panel on the right.) And while I’m in the mood, in…
