  • The Great Divide through Restructuring? (updated 31jul13)

    George Rebane Eight counties in northeastern Colorado are looking at the possibility of becoming the nation’s 51st state.  Like so many idyllic locales in the country, Colorado’s population corridor along the eastern slope of the Rockies has been successfully invaded by progressives immigrating from places like California where they have managed to soil their own…

  • The Liberal Mind – Expendable Dead for More Votes

    George Rebane Through extreme cynicism (read evil) or utter stupidity, the liberal candidates for mayor in NYC are again attacking the city’s ‘Stop, Question, Frisk’ policy which has been the centerpiece of policing that has dramatically reduced crime rates in that large metropolis.  Last year SQF was material in dropping crime another 30% from the…

  • Wanted by Obamacare: The young and the stupid (updated 31jul13)

    George Rebane You really can’t make up the stuff that rolls out of what passes for brains inside the Beltway.  The ads SecHHS Sebelius is making to attract young people who neither need nor want health insurance, especially of the Obamacare variety, are designed to appeal to mental profiles that range between the innocent altruistic…

  • Atheists need chaplains too (updated 28jul13)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 26 July 2013.] New levels of social justice are being sought in our military.  The very same people who militate for separating church and state in all corners of public life are now demanding to have their fair share of padres in…

  • Obama’s Latest Planless Pivot on the Economy

    George Rebane The President is on the stump again in a desperate effort to divert attention from his administration’s scandals and jobless recovery.  He is pivoting on platitudes which the sheeple noddingly accept as planning.  I have often advised readers on the difference between an objective and a plan to achieve the objective.  The President…

  • Corporate Taxes – One more time

    George Rebane A major teaching point of RR over the years has been that corporations pay no taxes.  Corporate taxes are another preferred ruse of world governments to enable them to take more out of the pockets of real taxpayers.  Now we hear that the OECD is doubling down on the bamboozle with something called…

  • Transnationalists will simply SWAT us

    George Rebane Former Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) was recently interviewed about a significant piece on ‘American sovereignty and its enemies’ he co-authored in a recent issue of Foreign Affairs.  In there he details the thrust and progress that US transnationalists (nee globalists) have made in bringing the America we know and love to its knees…

  • Ruminations – 19jul13 (updated++)

    George Rebane A fundamental tenet on RR has been that as government grows in size and scope, it also grows in becoming intrinsically evil through the conduct of its mega-monied politicians and recourse proof bureaucrats.  Here are some current observations that bolster that argument. Charities have become fiefs of big government.  How?  First, they take…

  • “… honor the memory of Treyvon Martin.” (updated 26jul13)

    George Rebane The memory of Treyvon Martin has now been honored by everyone from the President to the punks smashing windows and setting fires to demonstrate their outrage at the acquittal of George Zimmerman and the nation’s legal system.  In doing the latter I’m tempted to join them. According to our legal system as exercised…

  • Equality Questioned (updated 15jul13)

    A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Here’s a notion that should set progressive hearts palpitating, perhaps even inducing a case or two of apoplexy.  Should citizens deemed mentally (not physically) incapable of caring for themselves be granted a full franchise in a republican democracy? In…
