Category: Great Divide

  • George Rebane The following table arrived from a correspondent and RR reader.  We note the similarities in the two movements.  Edifying.

  • George Rebane The Great Divide (and search RR) has been a subject of interest and debate among readers.  Our friends from the Left honor me with accusations of being a lone rogue in shining a light on the path that appears to be tearing the country apart.  Unfortunately as thinkers and commentators across the country…

  • George Rebane Truthout.org has published a major article ‘Breivik's Fundamentalist War on Politics, and Ours’ which is a progressive manifesto, and itself a declaration of war on conservatives and their politics.  Author Henry Giroux (one of truthout’s “news analysts”) forges every connection imaginable between Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer, and anybody to the right of…

  • The experiment that said “the bigger the state, the more just the society” clearly failed. There is no point pretending that it didn’t. – Tony Blair George Rebane – It’s the Sun, stupid!– Dems put bad stuff on hold til 2012– Mexican right of return Russ Steele at NC Media Watch reports here the latest real…

  • George Rebane The 2011 May Day celebrations in Los Angeles were not covered as thoroughly by the lamestream as one might wish.  Our progressive cadres continue to lay a thick smokescreen on the notion that today’s labor movement, led by public service unions, have again picked up the theme of a new communist revolution.  Moreover,…

  • George Rebane In my technology newsletters I recently encountered some buzz about clinical evidence differentiating the brainbones of liberals and conservatives – in short, you may be one or the other because that’s the way you’re wired up.  There has been a flurry of articles posted on the original research done on this thesis at…

  • George Rebane So laments William Rivers Pitt of truthout.com, one of the most extreme leftwing commentators in my experience.  He starts his latest screed on the Wisconsin legislature’s attempt to balance the state’s budget that has suffered under the largesse extracted by its public service unions.  Pitt revs into gear with the now famous aphorism that…

  • George Rebane China has announced that it is on the path to making the yuan (aka renminbi) a global currency (more here).  In short, the yuan will then take its place beside the euro and the dollar as a currency in which international accounts may be settled – in other words the yuan will become…

  • George Rebane The response of the left to the tragic shooting in Tucson yesterday has been swift and sure.  The whole thing was the product of right wing “vitriol”.  Starting with the local sheriff, through the mainstream media, and into the blogs, it was too much political speech from the conservatives, especially those in the…
