Month: December 2012

  • The Fiscal Cliff – just a thought (updated 31dec12)

    George Rebane …, and this is just for the record – no need to respond.  Congress at best will alleviate an immediate problem at hand, one that they themselves created.  Why did they create it?  Why, to finally address the runaway deficits and national debt that is taking us to the real fiscal cliff.  There…

  • Who should (not) vote? (updated 29dec12)

    George Rebane The comment stream under ‘How to Protect School Children in Schools’  is another long one which inevitably becomes a bit hairy by developing threads that start covering the waterfront of issues of interest in these times.  Voter qualification was a thread that, to the best of my knowledge, appeared through some process of…

  • Christmas 2012

    George Rebane [This message was first posted on Christmas Eve 2009.] The two main events in the Christian calendar are celebrations of the Promise and the Fulfillment.  Christmas calls on us to reflect on the Promise delivered – the arrival of Emmanuel, God with us, that made real what had long been promised.  By His…

  • How to Protect School Children in Schools (updated 14jan13)

    George Rebane The 14dec12 Newtown shootings have raised two distinct issues in the public mind – 1) how to protect kids in school against rogue shooters, and 2) how to quickly politicize public passions and focus them on the progressives' long term program to disarm America.  My 17dec12 post ‘Fire! Ready, Aim – Panic-driven Public…

  • 2013, the year of the Progressive Pandemic (updated 23dec12)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 December 2012.] You’ve all heard enough about the Newtown killings, and, no doubt, you will hear a lot more.  I decided to give you a break on the topic, and take one myself since the debate about the response to that…

  • Only terrorists resist fiat money

    George Rebane Some naifs will see the title here as a bit of hyperbole.  Don’t believe it for a moment, and for verification just ask Mr Bernard von Nothaus, American citizen.  He had the temerity to mint silver coins of his own design (pictured here) and sell them to willing buyers.  The buyers subsequently started…

  • Fire!, Ready, Aim – Panic-driven Public Policy (updated 21dec12)

    “Passion governs.  And she never governs wisely.”  Benjamin Franklin George Rebane The 14dec12 Newtown elementary school massacre again brings out all of our weaknesses as an ignorant and free people.  And the pandering politicians and public media are already at the trough, feeding on and encouraging every imaginable emotion that short circuits reason.  I want…

  • Ruminations – 14dec12 (updated)

    George Rebane As it gathers steam, the national travesty that is Obamacare is now taking big bites out of our nation’s commonweal, and the real tragedy is yet to come.  Since arriving in the dark of night three years ago, it is now morphing into the gigantic puzzle palace that all government programs eventually become. …

  • War of Words

    Michael McDaniel It is not a novel concept for opposing political groups to focus on vocabulary superiority.  A feeble minded, me-focused electorate requires the use of buzzwords and sound bites to be manipulated. To the originator of the accepted propaganda-laden words go the spoils.  “Illegal aliens” vs. “undocumented immigrants.” From mislabeled legislation to the accepted…

  • Revealing Obama – the beat goes on (updated 14dec12)

    "The spending will continue until the deficits improve." – Michael McDaniel George Rebane Conservative commentators are beginning to realize and report their discoveries that Obama is actually trying to take America into a level of socialism that would make the Europeans blush.  Rush Limbaugh is the most recent to experience this epiphany.  For RR readers,…
