Category: Great Divide

  • Idiots (Evil?) on Parade (updated 18feb19)

    George Rebane I claimed that the photo of all the congressional critters who support the Green New Deal will become iconic to both the Left and the Right, of course, for diametrically opposite reasons.  I’m not sure that all of the pictured 40 are demonstrably stupid, such as AOC; no doubt many of them intend…

  • The Real Issue That Divides Us (updated 27jan19)

    George Rebane Conservetarians believe in global diversity and national cohesion; progressives believe in global conformity and national diversity.  The former resists global autocracy, the latter sustains global autocracy. Nationally prominent commentator and executive WSJ editor Gerald Seib recently wrote ‘The Wall Marks a Deep Cultural Divide’ (in the 21jan19 WSJ) a piece describing attributes which…

  • ‘Do We Need Our Country Anymore?’

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regularly scheduled KVMR commentary broadcast on 26 December 2018.] Dr Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, asks that question in the latest (Dec 2018) issue of the Imprimis.  The answer that our public schools have been teaching for the last half century is NO.  As Arnn points…

  • Globalists and Nationalists, oh my!

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 12 December 2018.] Have you considered where you stand on the many issues that not only divide us Americans, but also people everywhere, that is everywhere they can freely speak their minds?  Have you really thought it through well enough to…

  • Scattershots – 15nov18 (updated 17nov18)

    George Rebane A leftwing Union columnist most recently summarized the huge ideological chasm between the two polarized camps of Americans (see 15nov18 letters).  Writing in response to the Kavanaugh confirmation, the writer unabashedly blurted out a core progressive tenet that was in full display at the congressional hearings – “It is just as bad to…

  • Scattershots – 7oct18 (updated 10oct18)

    George Rebane Great Divide pieces are beginning to appear all over the place as a result of what the Left revealed of itself during the Kavanaugh confirmation conflagration.  This alienating trend is some years in development and was picked up early in these pages (much to the denial and denigration of the local know-nothings).  Today…

  • What the Kavanaugh Confirmation has Really Confirmed (updated 7oct18)

    George Rebane By the slimmest margin, this morning the Senate voted cloture – to restrict remaining debate on the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh before the vote to confirm scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.  Odds are that by this time tomorrow Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed as the newest Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Here and…

  • An evening with Victor Davis Hanson (updated 10oct18)

    George Rebane Last Saturday evening we loaded some friends in the car and headed for the Grand Sheraton in Sacramento to attend a fundraiser for Congressman Tom McClintock.  We’ve known Tom for years and continue to support him in our neighboring congressional district.  The evening featured a talk and Q&A with Victor Davis Hanson.  Professor…

  • Mine eyes have seen the gory … (updated 21sep18)

    ‘A nation ignorant and free, that never was and never shall be.’  Thomas Jefferson George Rebane Mr Seeman, my sixth-grade teacher at Ben Davis Elementary School in Indianapolis, motivated his class to take an interest in the 1952 election pitting Eisenhower against Stevenson for president.  He did this by promising to vote for the candidate…

  • Quo Vadis Democrats? (updated 31aug18)

    George Rebane It turns out that my ongoing assessments of our Great Divide have been in error – the gulf between America’s Left and Right is significantly wider than what I have been reporting.  This latest epiphany came to me as I was perusing ‘Another Day of Conflicting Realities’, Bob Crabb’s latest post and comment…
