Category: Great Divide

  • Ideological Images

    George Rebane The chasm that divides today’s Left and Right has many facets, some of which can be illustrated graphically.  It is not clear that a progressive will understand the images shown below.

  • Independence Day Weekend Thoughts (updated 3jul16)

    George Rebane This will be America’s 240th birthday celebration observed by divers cohorts of “real live nephews of our Uncle Sam” not all of whom wish him a long life.  Our divisions today are at least as great as those which gave rise to the South’s War for Independence – aka the Civil War.  Americans…

  • Scattershots – 29jun16 (updated 1jul16)

    George Rebane The AGW hysteria has become very hard to maintain in circles that still participate in scientific debate and within the public forum that follows such debate.  The hysteria is unaffected by such debate within the community of grant-funded scientists and their political sponsors (wherein the 'debate is over'), and of course their double dummy…

  • Brexit Ripples

    George Rebane The ripples from Brexit will travel far and wide, and in their turn give rise to more of what happened in the UK.  Brexit and its aftermath will once again confirm what we have here argued for years – people want to live where their culture is dominant and celebrate the self-determination to…

  • Comey willing, we’ll have The Donald vs Hillary

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 May 2016.  See also notice of another upcoming KVMR community affairs broadcast.] Last night in Indiana Trump got more than 53% of the Republican vote, again handily beating Cruz and Kasich both of whom have ended their campaigns.  But on the…

  • Ruminations – 3may16 (updated)

    Not the village constable.  There are men of evil mind, who would make of everything a crime, and not because of passion, but just naturally.  They condemn everybody, some for what they have done, and others for what they may do. …  Gracian #109 George Rebane It was 13 years ago today that we moved…

  • Scattershots – 22apr16

    George Rebane Supes Miller and Weston gave their “rationale” for floating Measure W on the 7jun16 ballot (op-ed in 22apr16 Union). They tell us that W is “strictly about controlling nuisance, environmental and public safety impacts from outdoor (MJ) grows.”  Well maybe.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m on record for sharing these concerns voiced…

  • The Spawn of Islam (updated 24mar16)

    ‘There is not a day that goes by without an Islamist attack somewhere.’ George Rebane The war between Islam and western civilization is in full swing, and the west is not winning.  Yesterday’s Brussels attacks again exposed the butt stupid policies of the progressive left governments.  Yet there is beginning to emerge a glimmer of…

  • ‘The Great American Disconnect’

    George Rebane Government is an intrinsically evil collective, cynically organized, incompetently operated, and staffed by people not all of whom are evil.  For this reason alone, citizens must keep their governments small and always on a short leash. World history is powered by the strong urge of like-minded people seeking and protecting land on which to…

  • The Stop Trump Terrorists (updated 20mar16)

    George Rebane As did Hitler’s Brown Shirts, so have other socialist/communist thugs and roughnecks throughout recent history been the ones to physically disrupt the gatherings of their political opponents. This is what happened yesterday in Chicago at the planned Trump rally (here), and appears to be the start of this election season’s violent phase –…
