  • Ideologies and Governance – a structured look

    Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be labeled as “extremists”. George Rebane Hereabouts and in more distinguished forums the governance debate continues as to which types belong to the Left or the Right.  The confusion from the Left’s academics seems to be with…

  • Wealth Creation & Distribution – A Progressive’s View

    Ben Emery [Editor:  This piece by Mr Ben Emery evolved from a thread in the comment stream to ‘Progressive Radio – the Dangerfield of the airwaves’.  There Mr Emery posted and extended response to my 909pm comment which appears below. BenE 807pm – It reappears that you and yours believe that the amount of wealth…

  • Progressive Radio – the Dangerfield of the airwaves

    George Rebane Peter Collins on truthout.com (my favorite socialist cum communist website) laments about progressive talk radio not getting any traction over the years.  In ‘An Insider’s View of the Progressive Talk Radio Devolution’ talk show host Collins goes through a litany of liberal radio’s travails during recent years, and concludes – As someone who…

  • Ruminations – 9feb13 (updated)

    George Rebane The prestigious national newspaper Investor’s Business Daily has now picked up the alarm about the feds’ enormous ammo and gun buys.  (RR readers were made aware of these developments months ago.)  All of the weaponry is designated for in-country use in the US, and amounts involved are enough to support the Iraq war…

  • Boy Scouts and Homosexuality

    George Rebane The latest progressive dust devil on the landscape is the campaign to force a private organization to accept its mores and values regarding homosexuals in society.  Ruminating a bit on the topic, some thoughts came to mind I have not seen discussed. For eons pubescent boys and girls have been separated in uncountable…

  • The Liberal Mind – Topical trumps Synoptic

    George Rebane The ongoing debates on current issues such as budget, deficits, gun control, healthcare, climate change, immigration reform, … highlight one of the most robust aspects of how Left and Right thinking are fundamentally different.  As witnessed by RR’s Liberal Mind category, this is a long abiding subject of interest to me, and apparently…

  • Climate Change – Another Asymmetric Dialogue

    George Rebane Bjorn Lomborg is an internationally recognized and much published environmentalist.  He even believes that AGW is a factor in climate change.  Recently he wrote an article that was critical of President Obama’s inaugural “three horsemen of the climate apocalypse” listed as the "devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful…

  • Gun Control 2013 (updated 13jan13)

    George Rebane The 14dec12 Newtown massacre has been blown into a celebrated “crisis” for the nation’s gun ban contingent.  And President Obama has made certain that this crisis will also not go to waste in his overarching program that is fundamentally transforming America.  He gave VP Joe Biden the job of fashioning the next set…

  • The Great Divide – ‘We don’t need no stinking Constitution’

    George Rebane Bit by piece America’s Left is unraveling the role of our Constitution as the foundation of our country’s governance.  Undoing the legacy of our Founders has now progressed from dancing the progressives’ constitutional sidestep to a growing chorus of calls to do away with the Constitution altogether – a document they see filled…

  • Cirino’s Nevada City, RIP

    George Rebane The Progressive Plague that has ravaged California for some years, and with every passing day is becoming even more virulent, struck down a local landmark establishment.  In Nevada City Cirino’s Bar & Grill is shutting its doors according to owner Jerry Cirino because “The state and federal government has taken the most valuable…
