Category: Great Divide

  • E Pluribus Unum – Still? Really? (updated 2aug20)

    George Rebane ‘There are more things that unite Americans than drive them apart.’  This shibboleth, or one in a similar vein, is often heard when conversation-lite turns to the polarization now visible everywhere in our land.  Unfortunately, these conversations don’t go much deeper than the participants sagely nodding their heads before abandoning the topic and…

  • Reflections on Racism – no time to decide (updated)

    George Rebane A barren desert is now the middle ground separating Americans from their woke and fundamentally transformed brethren. Racism has been an enduring theme on RR for years – e.g. back in 2010, through the years, and a more recent commentary in 2019.  With readers we have dissected it 20 ways from Sunday.  Even…

  • Hunker Down Diary – 16jun20

    “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”  A. Lincoln George Rebane Yesterday was HD100 for the Rebanes, and Jo Ann announced that we are done hunkering down.  Truth be known, this will not be a sudden change in our collective behviors, we’ve been kinda easing out of our lockdown over the last few weeks.  And…

  • Riot Reflections – 30may20 (updated)

    George Rebane The videod murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police gave rise to justified public protests that quickly turned into destructive and violent riots which have little to do with the death of Mr Floyd, and instead have again revealed that we Americans are no longer ‘one people’ who can…

  • Local liberals lambast loosening lockdowns (updated)

    George Rebane As we and others across the country have pointed out, phasing out the C19 lockdowns has become the latest political chasm in the Great Divide.  You know that our country is now fundamentally transformed when it can no longer come together for a unified response to a national emergency.  It’s not a reach…

  • The Great Divide – A Solution RFP

    'The goal of socialism is communism.'  Vladimir Lenin George Rebane This is another request for proposal to our leftwing fellow citizens to offer a solution to the irreparable Great Divide which has been instituted over the last 50 years in America, and continues to be widened daily.  Our Left and Right citizenry no longer shares…

  • Ruminations – 20apr20

    George Rebane “We are all in this together.”  Who make up the “we”?  What defines the “this”?  Porter Stansberry makes a very compelling cast that this assertion by the governments and their loyal lackies is the Big Lie of today (here)  – we are not all in this together, and the ‘this’ is different for…

  • Democracy Destroys the Electoral College

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 February 2020.  An edited version of this was published in the 7mar20 Union (here).] The nation’s Left is again demanding that the country should give up its republican roots and become a democracy – something which our Founders warned us…

  • We do have our own facts (updated 7feb20)

    "A house divided against itself cannot stand." A. Lincoln George Rebane [This is the addended and updated transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 5 February 2020.] The nationally prominent public figure and liberal Daniel Patrick Moynihan gave us the well-known shibboleth that "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." …

  • They’re Off!

    George Rebane President Trump delivered his best speech ever giving the nation its State of the Union.  He ticked off an impressive list of accomplishments that benefitted every corner and population segment of the country.  He did a masterful job in selecting and managing the events in the gallery that honored and represented the many…
