  • Socialist Wisdom on Parade

    George Rebane The 26mar11 WSJ has a comprehensive analysis for states’ policies that emphasize the socialist ideal of redistribution – just tax the rich.  Combine that with the other side of their coin of wisdom – buy votes through the unions – and you have the perfect storm in which the country is now writhing. …

  • Occam Observes Obama

    George Rebane The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.  It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have…

  • Congressman McClintock in Colfax (updated 24mar2011)

    George Rebane About 170 of us gathered in the theater of Colfax High School last night for a townhall with Congressman Tom McClintock.  The Congressman started the evening with a PowerPoint detailing the fiscal crisis the country will experience “within five years” unless a radically different course is taken starting now.  There is no more…

  • California’s New Illegal Alien Benefits

    George Rebane We are more than broke, we are almost $30 billion in the hole.  Yet the la-la land left is now pushing through Assemblyman Cedillo's bills AB130 and 131 to mandate that the taxpayers of California guarantee more benefits for the state’s illegal aliens.  With their passage, these fugitives from American justice would receive…

  • Ruminations – 22mar2011 (updated)

    George Rebane – Add evil to ignorant and stupid– Weathering Anthropogenic Global Warming The silence of the left-loving lamestream media on violence and threats coming from the unionized left is no longer a remarkable aspect of American life.  Deroy Murdock of National Review Online compiles some of these in ‘Death Threats by the Dozen in Wisconsin’.  For…

  • Libya – Driving from the Back Seat (updated 21mar2011)

    George Rebane President Obama has made it clear that he wants the Arabs to view the US as being just one of the boys the UN mustered to take on Moammar Gadhafi.  Not only that, but we’re in the back of the pack somewhere right behind the French, Brits, and Italians.  That is our new…

  • Ruminations – 19mar2011

    George Rebane On this gloomy slushy snowy Saturday, we at the Rebane house take any levity-providing-port in a storm.  Didn’t have to wait too long before two qualifying bonmots arrived – one on Fox News and another fortuitous one by email from a regular reader. Turning on the telly during supper – the slush had…

  • The Liberal Mind – Eat the Rich

    George Rebane Communists and most of today’s union members are persuaded by arguments that the pie is fixed, they are its bakers, and the rich have become so only by taking more than their ‘fair share’. Not only that, but if we can claw back what the rich have unjustly taken, then there will be…

  • Ring of Fire – Are We Next?

    George Rebane It may turn out that the recent Chile, New Zealand, and now Japan earthquakes are related to some greater movement of the whole Pacific system of tectonic plates.  Geologist Jim Berkland has an outstanding record of analysing these patterns and earthquake predictions.  He is talking to Fox's Neil Cavuto about what may be happening…

  • Republicans Continue to Capitulate (update 20mar2011)

    George Rebane [This is a transcript of my regular KVMR 89.5 commentary that aired today 18 March 2011.] Conservative commentators, blogs, and opinion rags are claiming that on spending cuts they have Democrats on the run.  The big news is that during the last five weeks the GOP House has extracted $10B in cuts.  Charles…
