  • Another Silly Coincidence, Right?

    George Rebane A correspondent sent me this YouTube video of Idaho House (District 10) representative Curtis Bowers (R) talking about the communist agenda in America.  Apparently his surprising statements got some traction, and a lot of people were riled up about his connecting such dots for an obvious series of coincidences.  Then again, others thought…

  • Klamath Claptrap Continued (updated 26sep2011)

    George Rebane Congressman Tom McClintock has delivered some eloquent and incisive critiques in opposition to the intent of California environmental fanatics’ plan to demolish dams on northern California rivers.  These dams provide critical watershed control, agricultural water supply, recreation, and electrical power generation.  The congressman’s article ‘Klamath Claptrap’ is required reading in order to understand…

  • Who can work, who may vote (Addended) (updated 12sep2011)

    George Rebane [This is the submitted version of my column that was scheduled to appear in the print and online editions of the 10sep11 Union.  It was rescheduled and has been printed in the 17sep11 print and online editions (here) due to the Union‘s focus on 9/11 commentaries.  This piece clearly would not have fit.]…

    George Rebane This Sunday, 11 September 2011, Nevada City hosts Constitution Day with a big parade and a day-long celebration of Americana in its streets, parks, and shops.  This has been a community tradition since 1967, drawing together local organizations, residents, and visitors who come from far and wide to witness a ‘home town classic’…

  • Agenda 21 and the “Pod People”

    George Rebane Jo Ann and I have attended many local workgroups and meetings where the pod people were in obvious attendance.  These meetings presented ideas and plans for environmental harmony, smart growth, green jobs, local sustainability, and so on.  A recent one we attended involved sincere people who promoted the establishment of many small farms…
