    George Rebane • Radical left says that Tea party is now a thugocracy• Alan Blinder and economics in the real political world• EPA comes to help CARB crush California• Charlie Rangel didn’t have time to get a lawyer (really!) The Tea Party is now painted as a thugocracy by the progressives and their farther left brethren and cistern 😉 …

  • The Tea Party Movement – here to stay

    George Rebane Last night at the GV Elks Lodge the Nevada County Tea Party Patriots held a packed house celebration of the mid-term election results – California excepted, but Nevada County included.  Jo Ann and I attended with our friends Russ and Ellen Steele.  While both Russ and I did our usual scribbling during the goings…

  • On the Road to Weimar (addended)

    George Rebane [This is the submitted copy of my November column in the 13nov10 Union.  The online version is available here.] You no doubt agree that these are interesting times.  The economy is swimming in molasses, the declared unemployment rate is cemented at about 10% (the actual is closer to one in six, or about…

  • 2010 Bastiat Prizes in Journalism

    “When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favours and approvals–when you see that men get richer by…

  • Walking into the Liquidity Trap

    George Rebane QE2 used to be the short moniker of HMS Queen Elizabeth 2, flagship of Cunard’s luxury liners.  You boarded QE2 and forgot your troubles as you were transported across The Pond with more comforts than you could imagine.  Today’s QE2 is the code word most people hear and can’t put together with anything…

  • MSNBC Suspends Olbermann – Shhh or BFD?

    George Rebane MSNBC has suspended hard left pundit and talk show host Keith Olbermann.  Why is that such a big … deal?  The reason given was that the man gave money to support the campaigns of three Democratic candidates.  Why cannot any citizen express his right to free political speech by openly contributing to whatever issues…

  • California in Iron Lung – Hard Left Unfazed

    George Rebane Last Tuesday’s inland tsunami washed over most of the land without much effect on the coasts.  With its margins of establishment pullback, the voters shouted loudly that the country has been going in a hard left direction under the leadership of hard leftwingers.  This, of course, is something totally invisible to those with a…
