Category: Great Divide

  • Our idiots write

    [The letters from two local progressive worthies appeared in the 24nov17 Union.  They are published here as a part of the public service component of RR.  My commentaries on the liberal mind pale when compared to the real things.  You really can’t make this stuff up.  gjr] Trump-Republican gun culture and gun violence When will…

  • Democratic Socialists of America (updated 14nov17)

    Lord, give me coffee to change things I can change, wine to accept the things I cannot change, and bourbon to forget about the whole mess. George Rebane DSA candidates running openly as socialists under the Democrat banner now have 35 seats in the country’s state legislatures.  “Tuesday’s election night gains for the group were…

  • Sandbox – 5nov17

    [I think I'll start this sandbox off with another confirmation of the 'two separate worlds' notion that abets our progress toward the Great Divide.  It is always good to climb up the taxonomical tree to see under which branch these individual dust-ups we dissect belong.   A futile exchange on Bob Crabb’s blog (here).  Mr Crabb…

  • Racialism Rising

    George Rebane Racialism – the ideology, based on a heightened consciousness of the race of others, that promotes racial divisions and strife to hasten the breakdown of large sovereign nation-states on the road to a unified global world order. In America there should be as little room for racism as for racialism.  We Americans should equally…

  • Scattershots – 26sep17 (updated 1oct17)

    Government is a monopoly of the legitimate use of force within a given territory. – Max Weber, progressive economist and co-founder of sociology. George Rebane In ‘Rule of law or mob rule’, appearing in the 26sep17 Union, Ms Linda Erdmann presents clear and cogent arguments of how ‘presentism’ has uniformly infected the liberal mind in…

  • Kneeing Our National Anthem (updated 27sep17)

    George Rebane More and more NFL players, owners, and managers started showing their disrespect for one of our nation’s most hallowed totems – The Star-Spangled Banner.  They chose to do this for a number of political reasons starting with protesting alleged police brutality.  And in doing so they have the temerity to claim that their…

  • Great Divide – Yes Virginia, we really are very different

    George Rebane Today’s headline again corroborates what those who have paid attention have known for some years now.  The latest WSJ/NBC poll out today reports the stark differences between the country’s Right and Left as represented by their respective Republican and Democrat party affiliations.  The important part here is that the “WSJ/NBC News survey indicates…

  • Democrats, as they see themselves (updated)

    [This piece of Democrat worldview showcased in their booth at the recent Nevada County fair is both illuminating and informative.  They see and experience not what we see and experience, but tacitly admit that they have no "working Democratic message"   Also note that Republicans have "the power to prevent minorities from voting in more…

  • The conundrum of culturally cohesive communities (updated 22aug17)

    George Rebane Cultural cohesion has been the propensity of humans living together for millennia and perhaps longer.  The clear and simple dictum is that people like to live with people who share their social values and view the world pretty much as they themselves do.  The benefits of such communities is both manifest and manifold…

  • Add to history, and not take from it (updated 17aug17)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 16 August 2017.] The Charlottesville clash is metastasizing across the country.  In these look-alike demonstrations, the Civil War and all that it entails has become the latest collision point of several ideological and political agendas.  For those able to handle historical…
