  • ‘All Political Violence is Wrong’

    George Rebane That is a thesis put forward in the comment stream of ‘Rightwing Extremism in Action: Tea Party Houston’.  And I believe this strong and important statement deserves an examination in its own right.  First, let us understand political violence to be the use of force in the pursuit of a political end.  What’s…

  • Remembering and Providing for Sacrifice

    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…

  • California – Failed and Federalized

    George Rebane About two years ago in these pages I introduced the notion of California rapidly becoming federalized (here) because it was successfully pursuing many concurrent avenues to failure.  A federalized state must first be a failed state, and that we have become as William Russell Mead explains in a tightly written piece on his…

  • ‘Rightwing Extremism in Action: Tea Party Houston’

    George Rebane Here's an example of the asymmetry in the violent rhetoric and revolutionary fervor between the left and the right.  This video makes clear the palpable violence and hatred of the right.  Take a look at these rabid rightwingers; and check out the music that sets the mood.  Is this their best shot? And then check…

  • Ruminations – 19may2011

    George Rebane - Global warming solutions are no solutions- How Democrats plant to beat Repubs again in 2012- The American intifada The hilarity or tears, take your pick, on the entire issue of global warming just don’t stop.  Given that any of the AGW propaganda happens to be true, the cost effectiveness of attempting to stop it with…

  • Sharia Creep – while we’re not paying attention (updated 18may2011)

    George Rebane One way to deconstruct a nation-state is to have its citizens divided into cohorts each answerable to a different set of laws.  The Islamic settlements in Europe are on their way to such a legal construct.  Great Britain already has a Sharia dual in its legal system to which Muslims are bound and…

  • California’s “Dysfunctional Democracy”

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my 6may11 KVMR radio commentary broadcast earlier tonight.] The spate of serious articles, reports, analyses, and commentaries on California’s disaster-in-progress reached a new plateau this last week with the prestigious (23apr11) Economist featuring a major survey of the state.  The world’s oldest international ‘newspaper’ traces California’s problems back…

  • ‘Thanksgiving 2022’

    George Rebane [This came in email, and reading it I immediately began looking for some hyperbole.  But given this administration’s stated goals, established direction, and ongoing ‘progress’ thereto, I couldn’t find any.  Perhaps you can dear reader.] "Winston, come into the dining room, it's time to eat," Julia yelled to her husband. "In a minute,…

  • ‘He is Risen!’

        Happy Easter from our family to you and yours. George and Jo Ann

  • The Silence of the Jews and Christians

    George Rebane In this season of Passover and Easter, our administration and its private sector cadres are promoting Islamists with an added twist.  Al Jazeerah, with its anti-Jewish and anti-Christian worldview, is now being recognized by the leftwing as a necessary and legitimate source of world news and considered opinion among the civilized nations.  In…
