Category: Great Divide

  • State of Jefferson Townhall in Penn Valley (updated 4aug14)

    George Rebane RR has posted on the national movements to break bigger states into smaller ones as part of the impetus to achieve some form of America’s Great Divide (here).  These movements are birthed by the realization by large cohorts of conservatives in the several states that they are no longer represented in their states’ legislatures,…

  • The Democracy Dilemma (Addended)

  • State of Jefferson: A long shot, but …(Addended)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 27 June 2014.  As promised, here I have addended additional information and thoughts to the aired commentary.] Our Founders were right, unbridled democracy does not work as the basis for a stable government.  James Madison said it best – “Pure democracies have…

  • ‘The Divided States of America’

    As democracy is perfected, the office of the  President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.

  • Media Bias – Living in Separate Worlds

    George Rebane Recently the Media Research Center released two reports on how Americans are exposed to what is happening domestically and in the world.  The data in those reports show that most of us who depend on the lamestream and Spanish language outlets get a totally different picture of what is happening – mainly the…

  • Walter Williams on the Great Divide

    George Rebane The Great Divide as a means to peaceably resolve the post-tipping point ideological polarization of the country is a major theme on RR and has its own category of related posts.  The thought of Dr Walter Williams, eminent academic, economist, and outspoken observer of the American scene, has often graced these pages.  At…

  • Ruminations – 22dec2013

    “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”  Mark Twain George Rebane In ‘The End of the Beginning’ Bill Whittle spells out the overall impact of Obamacare and the pack of Washington’s lying scumbags that continue to foist this atrocity on America.  It can viewed as Exhibit A confirming…
