  • ‘The Top 10 Liberal Supersitions’

    George Rebane In 31oct14 WSJ article of the same name Kate Bachelder lists and expands on the ten high ranking pre-evidential and counter-evidential beliefs that our progressive cadres have accepted as revealed truth.  They have done this with an intensity and a 'reasonable basis' equal to that of the most devout fundamental Christians whom they deplore. …

  • Ebola Security Policy Conundrum (updated 30oct14)

    George Rebane There’s a major and potentially harmful debate about the function and effect of quarantine in securing America against the ingress and spread of Ebola.  It all spins around a significant misunderstanding of duty and volunteerism, primarily suffered by our politically correct cadres. Everyone agrees that Ebola must be stopped in its African hotzone,…

  • No Middle Ground in Sight (update 23oct14)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 October 2014.  Starting today, my commentaries have been moved from Friday evenings to Wednesdays’ 6pm news hour.] In less than two weeks Americans go to the polls and vote in an important mid-term election to determine the extent and progress…

  • Deconstructing America (updated 20oct14)

    [Mr Sauer is a retired lawyer living in Nevada City who currently serves on The Union’s editorial board.  He drafted the following reply to a commentary by Ms Cheryl Cook, also a member of the newspaper’s editorial board, that was published in the 9sep14 issue of The Union.  For readers having difficulty accessing Ms Cook’s…

  • The Chaos Upon Us

    George Rebane People of a shared ethnicity individuate tactically and aggregate strategically. The future described in these pages over the last several years is coming true in spades.  The prime forces acting in accidental synchrony are the rampant advance of technologies, and the profoundly incompetent Obama administration that now rules through a camarilla of perfidious…

  • Is the State of Jefferson politically sustainable?

    George Rebane Last night Jo Ann and I attended the SoJ town hall meeting at the GV Elks Club.  This meeting was announced here, and it drew a full house.  The well-organized gathering was set up by the NC SoJ steering committee under the very able leadership of Eddie Garcia.  I even noticed that Jim…

  • Scattershots – 10oct14 (updated 12oct14)

    George Rebane The dilemma of socialism is that it needs large masses of the ignorant and poor to stay in power.  Socialists know that public policies which enable and empower the individual will grow the economy but doom collectivist governance. Los Angeles gets a new national monument that President Obama will dedicate on his most recent fund…

  • Measure S – The Numbers Please! (updated 8oct14)

    George Rebane Pro-S supporters and community leaders have been denying Nevada County voters the relevant data with which to decide on how to vote for the Measure S medical marijuana (MMJ) initiative. They have been unwilling to count the number of legitimate MMJ users in the county.  Not only that, they maintain that such data…

  • Water, water everywhere, … (updated)

    George Rebane Water, water everywhere, but not a drop is yours. California’s drought induced by nature and amplified by government has migrated from reasonable discussion to political expedience.  This ongoing problem in our state has drawn much interest from RR readers, especially those living in the Sierra foothills where water is still abundant. Sacramento and…

  • Ah yes, the “proudly progressive” among us

    George Rebane Today’s (27aug14) Union published the bios of its new fifteen-member editorial board that has been penetrated by three, count them, three conservatives – Rachel Helm, Norm Sauer, and Stan Meckler.  From what I have seen, the remaining members steer a decidedly leftward course ranging from a few unmistakable degrees to ‘hard a’port!’ Ms…
