  • Ruminations – 21nov14 (updated 24nov14)

    George Rebane Retired lawyer and Union editorial board member Norm Sauer wrote another letter to the editor yesterday (here) about crime rates and gun ownership that predictably tied some undies of the looney Left in knots.  A correspondent advised me that this caused one of these worthies, a critic and former employee of the newspaper, to even…

  • Is the State of Jefferson politically sustainable?

    George Rebane Last night Jo Ann and I attended the SoJ town hall meeting at the GV Elks Club.  This meeting was announced here, and it drew a full house.  The well-organized gathering was set up by the NC SoJ steering committee under the very able leadership of Eddie Garcia.  I even noticed that Jim…

    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)

      Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

  • 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.
