    George Rebane [This is the linked transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 15 February 2013.] Today everyone knows that we are a polarized nation and becoming more so by the day.  I want to talk about the reaction of a large segment of Americans who see their country slipping away.  This perception did…
