  • Racialism Rising

    George Rebane Racialism – the ideology, based on a heightened consciousness of the race of others, that promotes racial divisions and strife to hasten the breakdown of large sovereign nation-states on the road to a unified global world order. In America there should be as little room for racism as for racialism.  We Americans should equally…

  • Sandbox – 29sep17

    [Is gerrymandering bad for a representative democracy?  Many people, including me, think so.  Thoughts? (more here and here)  gjr]

  • Tax Policy Noodlings

    George Rebane The newly proposed GOP tax cut has everyone talking.  A couple of its main features are supposed to include switching from sequential taxing to concurrent taxing of earnings.  Also discussed is the removal of certain deductions like mortgage interest paid from taxable earnings.  I was interested in the impact of these two policy…

  • Ruminations – 27sep17 (updated 1oct17)

    If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today. – Thomas Sowell George Rebane Canada, the beloved of anti-American liberals, “has an urgent message…

  • Scattershots – 26sep17 (updated 1oct17)

    Government is a monopoly of the legitimate use of force within a given territory. – Max Weber, progressive economist and co-founder of sociology. George Rebane In ‘Rule of law or mob rule’, appearing in the 26sep17 Union, Ms Linda Erdmann presents clear and cogent arguments of how ‘presentism’ has uniformly infected the liberal mind in…

  • Deflected Dialogue Redux

    George Rebane Gentle reader, we again return to RR’s department of poetry.  For the new to these pages, this is part of our cultural outreach that emphasizes the ‘rhyme’ part of our overall Rhyme and Reason offerings.  Actually, today we sample a reprise of an earlier poem for an earlier time entitled Deflected Dialogue –Upon…

  • Kneeing Our National Anthem (updated 27sep17)

    George Rebane More and more NFL players, owners, and managers started showing their disrespect for one of our nation’s most hallowed totems – The Star-Spangled Banner.  They chose to do this for a number of political reasons starting with protesting alleged police brutality.  And in doing so they have the temerity to claim that their…

  • Hijacking Religion and Delivering the Votes

    George Rebane On the 23sep17 Union’s op-ed page there is a quarter page ad taken out by an outfit calling itself the Earth Justice Ministries.  From their own words (here) it appears that the EJM is a leftwing organization of progressives appealing to people of faith, mainly Christians, to join in the progressive agenda through…

  • Scattershots – 20sep17 (updated 22sep17)

    What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. – Christopher Hitchens George Rebane Cindy Hren, local student and purveyor of things constitutional, published a refresher on the form of our government in the 17feb17 Union (here and here).  Then as if by clockwork, several embarrassingly (but not to them) ignorant progressives lit…

  • Sandbox – 20sep17

    [We just returned from a visit to the east coast upon which I will report shortly.  Apologies for the sand getting a little putrid with all the internecine tete-a-tetes going after each other's morals, character, mental acumen, aboriginal ethnicities, and added divers factors too numerous to mention.  In any event, here's something I'd like to…
