Category: Rebane Doctrine

  • Brexit Reflections (updated 25jun16)

    George Rebane Britain’s Brexit vote marks a watershed for Ruminations.  It delivered a robust confirmation of the conservetarian tenets posted and debated in these pages for the last ten years.  And given the state of the EU and what is happening there, we can expect more to come.  As I monitored last night’s election returns…

  • Ruminations – 8mar16

    George Rebane Lord Keynes famously asked a critical journalist, 'When I get new information, I change my mind.  What do you do?'  Rebane Rule – A politician 'flipping' his views is welcome only when accompanied by what new information was received when which then caused the change. The Union has invited Ms Hilary Hodge to be their new liberal columnist.  Ms…

  • The Good Kind of Blacklist

    George Rebane Well, our little union educated, progressive darlins have once more confirmed the longheld Rebane Doctrine tenet that the Left proscribes free speech wherever it can establish a beachhead of power.  You can feel visible hatred from these mobs of ‘university students’ against those who disagree with them, and more importantly, also those who don’t support…

  • Unperturbed, Obama stays the course

    George Rebane We woke up to President Obama’s news conference from the G20 meeting in Turkey.  Since last Friday’s Paris attacks the calls have intensified for our Community Organizer to face the reality of radical Islam expanding (see also ‘Wake up, Mr President’).  At the news conference even lamestream reporters were asking the president pointed…

  • Obama shoots from the lip on Roseburg (updated 6oct15)

    George Rebane Predictably Barack Hussein Obama voiced his conclusions and exhortations for gun control before the Roseburg bodies had cooled, the wounded were out of surgery, and any relevant information about the shooter and the shootings had been released by the police – anything to take people’s minds off his debacles in Syria, Iraq, and…

  • Bought and Paid for Politics – Our Fault

    George Rebane Was just thinking about today's more than interesting, long, and expensive election season we all are suffering through.  And the money part kind of stuck with me.  We know that money drives politics.  What drives politicians may be up for debate, but you can’t go too far off base assuming that power, fame,…

  • ‘A Rose by any other name …’

    George Rebane Lately, readers claiming not to know my definitions for and usage of ideological labels have accused me and others on the Right of inserting these labels to identify our leftwing counterparts in a pejorative manner.   Unfortunately that is an ignorant error.  To clarify, I have selected a few past RR posts that should remedy…

  • The Muslim question is not going away (updated 20jul15)

    George Rebane That we have a politically dysfunctional government is now beyond debate.  That it is approaching operational dysfunction is open for reasonable debate.  After the latest Islamic terror attack within our borders – ninth during the last six years involving a military facility – our national debate has crossed the border between imbecilic to…

  • ‘They didn’t create that …’

    George Rebane Late yesterday afternoon Jo Ann and I were at the annual company picnic of a recent high tech start up.  It was a jolly event held in a local park with well over a hundred people in attendance – the employees brought their families and significant others, their kids were running around and bouncing…

  • Guaranteed National Income guaranteed

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 20 May 2015.] Listeners of these commentaries may recall that I support redistribution of wealth.  This line drew gasps from the Nevada County Republican Central Committee when several years ago I dropped it into one of the talks I was invited…
