  • ‘Can California be Saved?’ (updated 24oct15)

    George Rebane We have long pointed to the travesty of governance that has totally engulfed California over the past decades, and called out its failures which now have become a tidal wave of destruction.  The Left has identified this effort as the misbegotten complaints of an ignorant clutch living isolated from the glorious realities that…

  • The Liberal Mind – Climate Skeptical Debates are Unworthy and Should be Censored (updated 11oct15)

    George Rebane The more tightly ANY system is coupled, the more likely its performance is paced by its weakest and/or its most stupid members.  Mother Nature In the 10oct15 Union there is an opinion piece that perfectly, nay, iconically reveals the liberal mind.  ‘Let’s Have a Worthy Debate’ by local politician Heidi Hall and much…

  • The Left’s Climate Scientists on Parade (updated 11sep15)

    George Rebane It is clear the Left’s “climate scientists” can be anyone with the politically correct attitude toward AGW.  It is a different matter for the AGW skeptics, their bona fides must include a degree in climatology for openers, else they are dismissed as not qualified to speak on the issue of anthropogenic global warming. …

  • Ruminations – 9sep15 (updated 13sep15)

    Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.  Oscar Ameringer George Rebane ‘Black Lives Matter – but Reality, Not So Much’.  National columnist and keen observer of the social scene Jason Riley agrees with RR’s long-held position on…

  • The Great Cultural Divides of 2016 (updated 7sep15)

    'What happens in the Middle East doesn’t stay in the Middle East.'  WSJ George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary aired on 2 September 2015.] Here’s a 50,000 foot view of the great cultural divides that will focus our attention in America and also in the European Union.  The EU’s…

  • Scattershots – 22aug15

    Liberalism is what ‘smart’ looks like to stupid people. – from a talk radio call in George Rebane Apropos to the above bagatelle, we have a letter to the 22aug15 Union from a Ms Kuczora.  The good lady intends to enlighten the “many ignorant Americans” about socialism, which in her dim lights reveals itself as…

  • California Breaks More Windows (updated 19aug15)

    George Rebane You may fool all of the people only some of the time, but you can fool enough of them all the time. Associated Press published an exclusive report – ‘Lawmakers call for oversight hearings on green jobs measure’ – on the three year aftermath of Prop 39.  California voters were bamboozled by our…

  • Liberally Liberal Abortions Revisited (updated 16aug15)

    George Rebane In response to my 7aug15 commentary – ‘Planned (alternative to) Parenthood’ – in The Union, the newspaper’s 15aug15 edition contains two related pieces illuminating the liberal mind from the logically lame to the deliberately deceitful.  The first is a letter to the editor from “Dr Larry and Cheryl Cook” (paywalled here), and the…

  • How the gulf between us widens (updated 12aug15)

    To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. – Charles Krauthammer George Rebane Students of American history agree that President Lincoln was the prime instigator of federalism’s decline and the growth of Washington’s power over our land and lives. …

  • ‘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…
