  • Austerity works (updated 14jun12)

    George Rebane RR has been focused on matters economic for some years now as the crises build here and in Europe.  In their efforts to recover, I’ve tried to make the case that Europe and the US have actually been headed in opposite directions.  Cutting to the chase, debt and socialist policies – entitlements, commerce…

  • Lamestream in the Limelight (updated 6jun12)

    George Rebane Ramirez nails the latest.  And did you hear – well, actually it was hard to do that – how the those self-adulating lamestream journalists all went silent the instant that the district attorney released evidence supporting Zimmerman against the hooligan who was pounding his head into the concrete.  Then all the spigots opened…

  • Racists? – Obama and Holder

    George Rebane If someone utters purposive and calculated statements to incite and inflame racial antagonism, then calling such people racists would not be out of line with today’s sensibilities.  President Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder clearly fall into that category, most recently in light of the speech the AG delivered to the Council…

  • We Remember – 28 May 2012

    George Rebane Today we remember and honor the military service men and women who died for us, and those who have yet to come home.  We sent them into harm’s way to keep harm away from us and our loved ones.  They went willingly again and again to do the work of war with the…

  • The Rotten Roots of Socialism

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary aired on 25 May 2012.] The world is in a turmoil that most people equate to something that has to do with finances.  In addition to the reports from Europe about Greece, and Spain, and Italy, and on-and-off austerity programs, we are already numb…

  • The Liberal Mind – Asymmetric ‘Cacooning’ (updated 25may12)

    George Rebane For some years in these pages I have written about the apparent ignorance of the liberal voices about what’s going on and how things work.  Quite often I, and other conservative bloggers, have been taken to task by our left-leaning readers accusing us of ‘introducing’ some outlandish new notion.  But more often than…

  • Ruminations – 21may12 (updated)

    George Rebane President Obama’s background and biography is throwing people for another loop – at least those with their heads still exposed to the sun.  Who knows where the man was actually born?  Who knows what actually happened in South Chicago?  All we know is that the Washington establishment (both parties) and the lamestream don’t…

  • Illegal Aliens + IRS = Tax Fraud

    George Rebane There are over two million illegal aliens in America, overwhelmingly from Mexico.  Now it turns out that an additional draw for such illegals has been the ability to blatantly defraud the American taxpayer with the help of our compliant IRS.  The entire scheme involves filing the 1040 tax return using an IRS-created ITIN…

  • The Real Liberal Man

    George Rebane Social futurist(?!) Sara Robinson tells us the real meaning of Mother’s Day, and comes up with quite an analysis of men from both sides of the political spectrum.  Her ‘How the Ayn Rand-Loving Right Is Like a Bunch of Teen Boys Gone Crazy’ is a worthy sample of what sites like AlterNet.com and…

  • An apology for all occasions

    George Rebane [In my long working career I was privileged and very lucky to have worked with and under some truly remarkable and very smart people.  One of these was an older systems engineer extraordinaire and a complete gentleman by the name of Skip Case.  I was technically his peer, but I never considered myself…
