Month: October 2014

  • ‘The Top 10 Liberal Supersitions’

    George Rebane In 31oct14 WSJ article of the same name Kate Bachelder lists and expands on the ten high ranking pre-evidential and counter-evidential beliefs that our progressive cadres have accepted as revealed truth.  They have done this with an intensity and a 'reasonable basis' equal to that of the most devout fundamental Christians whom they deplore. …

  • Sandbox – 30oct14

    [The last sandbox got a little putrid as it filled up.  Let's see if this one can avoid that taint.  gjr]

  • Ebola Security Policy Conundrum (updated 30oct14)

    George Rebane There’s a major and potentially harmful debate about the function and effect of quarantine in securing America against the ingress and spread of Ebola.  It all spins around a significant misunderstanding of duty and volunteerism, primarily suffered by our politically correct cadres. Everyone agrees that Ebola must be stopped in its African hotzone,…

  • Scattershots – 25oct14 (updated 27oct14)

    George Rebane Conservative intellect and commentator Dinesh D’Souza was convicted of a campaign violation that is laughably minor compared to ones that have been committed more numerously by liberals in similar circumstances.  Predictably, the liberals have had their wrists slapped and continued with business as usual.  D’Souza instead faced jail time and was sentenced to…

  • Sandbox – 25oct14

    [Not inviting its continuance here, but I also call your attention to the rather voluminous, detailed, and ongoing Measure S debate between Ms Patricia Smith and Mr Don Bessee at 'Measure S, As It Is'.  On that issue the dust has yet to settle.  gjr]

  • No Middle Ground in Sight (update 23oct14)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 October 2014.  Starting today, my commentaries have been moved from Friday evenings to Wednesdays’ 6pm news hour.] In less than two weeks Americans go to the polls and vote in an important mid-term election to determine the extent and progress…

  • Sandbox – 21oct14

    [Everybody hear the latest about Moonbeam convening a new water resources conference so that "California can again take the lead" as it has in matters of protecting the environment, climate change, and green energy – disasters all?  My (no brainer) prediction is that the state will attempt to regulate and ration ALL well water so…

  • Ebola – A Government Competency Metric (updated)

    George Rebane The extraordinarily incompetent Obama administration is not done with us yet.  We pray that it is only incompetency that has created the current trail of disastrous public policies to vex and punish us – it could be something much more sinister as some commentators have argued, and about which even RR has murmured. …

  • Deconstructing America (updated 20oct14)

    [Mr Sauer is a retired lawyer living in Nevada City who currently serves on The Union’s editorial board.  He drafted the following reply to a commentary by Ms Cheryl Cook, also a member of the newspaper’s editorial board, that was published in the 9sep14 issue of The Union.  For readers having difficulty accessing Ms Cook’s…

  • Measure S, As It Is (updated 21oct14)

    George Rebane Last night the local LWV held yet the latest forum (debate?) on Nevada County’s Measure S, the voter initiative to alleviate the claimed medical marijuana (MMJ) access problem.  The venue was NC’s Rood Center with both pro-S and anti-S sides well represented.  Readers recall that the county’s current Ordinance 2349 already permits and regulates the…
