  • Ruminations – 17jan13 (updated 18jan13)

    George Rebane Do you notice that on all the media (Fox included) it’s a big no-no to piss off Muslims?  Now with all the action going on in Mali, Obama’s lie about Al Qaeda being on the ropes is exposed, and the reporters are again having to talk about “the war on terror” a lot. …

  • Debt Limit and Things Economical

    George Rebane [Cautionary note to innumerate readers, this post will require some facility in basic arithmetic and an attention span.] El Lider Fearless has issued his latest executive demand – no more congressional limits on accruing national debt.  “We are not a deadbeat nation,” Mr. Obama said. “And the consequences of us (sic) not paying…

  • Gun Control 2013 (updated 13jan13)

    George Rebane The 14dec12 Newtown massacre has been blown into a celebrated “crisis” for the nation’s gun ban contingent.  And President Obama has made certain that this crisis will also not go to waste in his overarching program that is fundamentally transforming America.  He gave VP Joe Biden the job of fashioning the next set…

  • The Great Divide – ‘We don’t need no stinking Constitution’

    George Rebane Bit by piece America’s Left is unraveling the role of our Constitution as the foundation of our country’s governance.  Undoing the legacy of our Founders has now progressed from dancing the progressives’ constitutional sidestep to a growing chorus of calls to do away with the Constitution altogether – a document they see filled…

  • Ruminations – 6jan13 (updated 7jan13)

    George Rebane The banner of socialism still can’t be unfurled over the world’s newest socialist country, but I don’t think it will take much more time before the new generation will accept the label.  The national Left is bursting with pride with its victories in the bag and more on the way.  Everything is falling…

  • MOOCs and the education revolution (addended 9jan13)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my 4jan13 KVMR commentary.  I last covered MOOCs in my 21aug12 post.  This post has an addendum that explains in more detailed how intelligent MOOCs can be designed to deliver complex instructional sequences that are not available in traditional learning environments. ] Let’s consider higher education for bit…

  • The Fiscal Cliff – just a thought (updated 31dec12)

    George Rebane …, and this is just for the record – no need to respond.  Congress at best will alleviate an immediate problem at hand, one that they themselves created.  Why did they create it?  Why, to finally address the runaway deficits and national debt that is taking us to the real fiscal cliff.  There…

  • How to Protect School Children in Schools (updated 14jan13)

    George Rebane The 14dec12 Newtown shootings have raised two distinct issues in the public mind – 1) how to protect kids in school against rogue shooters, and 2) how to quickly politicize public passions and focus them on the progressives' long term program to disarm America.  My 17dec12 post ‘Fire! Ready, Aim – Panic-driven Public…

  • 2013, the year of the Progressive Pandemic (updated 23dec12)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 December 2012.] You’ve all heard enough about the Newtown killings, and, no doubt, you will hear a lot more.  I decided to give you a break on the topic, and take one myself since the debate about the response to that…

  • Fire!, Ready, Aim – Panic-driven Public Policy (updated 21dec12)

    “Passion governs.  And she never governs wisely.”  Benjamin Franklin George Rebane The 14dec12 Newtown elementary school massacre again brings out all of our weaknesses as an ignorant and free people.  And the pandering politicians and public media are already at the trough, feeding on and encouraging every imaginable emotion that short circuits reason.  I want…
