Category: Great Divide

  • Yes, we really have become polarized

    George Rebane The Left in recent years has intensified the narrative that the Right has shrunk in numbers while becoming more extreme in its ideology.  The Left sees its own collectivist approaches to organizing society as having become the ideological lingua franca of most Americans.  As evidence of this, the growth of the country’s self-declared…

  • The Great Escape

    George Rebane It gives little pleasure to remind us all that progressives are socio-economically ignorant, incorrigible, and unrepentant.  The great escape of companies from the once Golden State continues unabated.  From Nevada County we see the next stage departure of our formerly iconic Grass Valley Group as its remnants are merged with Miranda Technologies.  It…

  • Mexico Toughens Stance on Autonomy for Southwest US

    George Rebane Mexico City, 6 May 2024 – Mexico’s president Juan Carlos Echeverria announced in his Cinco de Mayo celebration speech in San Diego that Mexican forces that have staged over the last six months along Mexico’s northern border would be further reinforced.  Tensions have increased since Russia announced that it was providing additional combat…

  • 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…

  • As our Republic unravels

    George Rebane In general, liberals are not stupid; many of them just have bad luck when they think. This cannot be said of California liberals. •    The Senate’s ‘nuclear option’ has been exercised;•    Obama continues to violate laws and the Constitution by rolling back more of Obamacare;•    Progressives mandate and subsidize windfarms and then sue…

  • Great Divide – ‘America 3.0’

    My contention is that good men (not bad men) consistently acting upon that position would act as cruelly and unjustly as the greatest tyrants. They might in some respects act even worse. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to…

  • Ruminations – 3oct13 (updated 6oct13)

    George Rebane Dr Tyler Cowen is professor of monetary theory, financial economics, and welfare economics at George Mason University and Mercatus Center .  He joins a growing list of academics and authors (cf Charles Murray’s Coming Apart) who have now concluded that systemic unemployment and permanent class divisions all will become entrenched features of our…

  • Reason and Rationality (updated)

    George Rebane California’s Siskiyou County is the latest jurisdiction in the land to voice its opposition to the growing de facto condition of regulation and taxation without representation.  Their stated desire to secede from California is but another cri de coeur in the growing national chorus that laments growing statism.  The success of such movements…
