Month: February 2013

  • State of Union 2013 got a C- or a D (updated)

    George Rebane 12.9M people participated in a new Fox/Microsoft realtime opinion poll taken during President Obama’s speech.  The overall approval rating was broken down by Repub, Indep, Dem declared respondents who watched the speech.  None of the rating traces ever went above the 50% neutral line, but stayed mostly in the 25% to 35% region. …

  • Progressive Radio – the Dangerfield of the airwaves

    George Rebane Peter Collins on truthout.com (my favorite socialist cum communist website) laments about progressive talk radio not getting any traction over the years.  In ‘An Insider’s View of the Progressive Talk Radio Devolution’ talk show host Collins goes through a litany of liberal radio’s travails during recent years, and concludes – As someone who…

  • Ruminations – 9feb13 (updated)

    George Rebane The prestigious national newspaper Investor’s Business Daily has now picked up the alarm about the feds’ enormous ammo and gun buys.  (RR readers were made aware of these developments months ago.)  All of the weaponry is designated for in-country use in the US, and amounts involved are enough to support the Iraq war…

  • Immigration Reform – The Correct Solution 2

    George Rebane I’ve been nudged to present my views on immigration reform in more detail than what I’ve already written about the illegal alien problem and my experiences as an immigrant over sixty years ago.  The preamble to this post was ‘Immigration Reform – The Correct Solution’ where I acknowledged that America will not accept…

  • New Encryption App Promises Big Changes and Trouble

    George Rebane A new iPhone and iPad encryption app will come on the market this Friday 8 February that is sure to get the feds’ undies in a bundle.  It was developed by a hot new cryptography start-up called Silent Circle,  and has already been successfully tested in a number of situations worldwide.  Readers will,…

  • Boy Scouts and Homosexuality

    George Rebane The latest progressive dust devil on the landscape is the campaign to force a private organization to accept its mores and values regarding homosexuals in society.  Ruminating a bit on the topic, some thoughts came to mind I have not seen discussed. For eons pubescent boys and girls have been separated in uncountable…

  • America killing Americans is Legal (updated 6feb13)

    George Rebane Well, it’s official.  NBC reports getting a copy of a Justice Dept white paper to the WH that states it is completely legal and constitutional for the government to kill American citizens without any due process whatsoever.  All the President has to believe is that the targeted American may pose a threat to…

  • The Liberal Mind – Topical trumps Synoptic

    George Rebane The ongoing debates on current issues such as budget, deficits, gun control, healthcare, climate change, immigration reform, … highlight one of the most robust aspects of how Left and Right thinking are fundamentally different.  As witnessed by RR’s Liberal Mind category, this is a long abiding subject of interest to me, and apparently…

  • Immigration Reform – The Correct Solution

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 1 February 2013.] We’ve known for years that no one will deport the 11+Million illegal aliens now living in the United States.  And everyone also knows, whether they say it or not, that ultimately the overwhelming fraction of these people will stay…

  • Ruminations – 1feb13

    George Rebane Global blarney.  The IPCC has quietly admitted that its four prime climate change computer models have been overestimating the world’s temperature rises (here and here).  Of course none of these kinds of reports of dubious ‘science’ make any impact on the progressives’ who claim to be champions of science and higher learning.  Their…
