Guest editorial: Defining conservatism
Defining conservatism by Hank Martin There has been much debate and discussion recently, regarding the definition of liberalism and conservatism. It would seem that many would choose to accept the current Roget’s Thesaurus definition of both, self-evident in it’s employ in the current media dialogue, and media spun sound bites. However, being “Old School”, I [...]
Guest editorial: Sullivan’s faith-based inauguration insults Jefferson’s vision
Sullivan’s faith-based inauguration insults Jefferson’s vision by: J. Anderson Thomson, Jr., M.D. Tracy Federman John Herrmann We raise our voices to share in the community’s welcome of new University of Virginia president Teresa A. Sullivan. Sadly, the first event of her inauguration—“an interfaith observance”– directly insults Jefferson’s vision for the University of Virginia, which he [...]
Guest editorial: A Jefferson birthday holiday?
A Jefferson birthday holiday? by Lowell Ponte Thomas Jefferson, had he survived, would have been 268 years old on April 13, 2011. Jefferson’s April 13th birthday should be a national holiday for taxpayers. It should be a day off on which we can fill out whichever of 481 Internal Revenue Service forms are required of [...]
Boom goes bust: Local officials sidestep IMPACT’s Charlottesville Inquisition
The Interfaith Movement Promoting Action by Congregations Together (IMPACT)—a political offshoot of the infamous “community organizing” group, ACORN—held their annual Nehemiah Action last evening at the University of Virginia’s University Hall. The gathering is an embarrassing interfaith convocation of local deists, “Christians,” Jews, and Muslims who together advocate for a melding of church (mosque, temple) [...]
Guest editorial: To the new conservatives
To The New Conservatives (Thoughts to consider for saving this last bastion of freedom) By Hank Martin With the explosion of the TEA Party movement, and all of the other movements that have appeared on the political landscape in the last two years, there exists a temptation to desire and wish for, a viable third [...]
Planned obsolescence: Charlottesville Planned Parenthood hemorrhaging (blood) money?
Fortuitously, a conspicuous “for lease” sign recently has materialized in front of Charlottesville’s premier abortion mill—the euphemistically named, Planned Parenthood—indicating there may be trouble brewing in “abortionland.” The readily available “office space,” located inside the existing Planned Parenthood building at 2964 Hydraulic Road, is benignly described by listing agent, Downer & Associates, as follows: If [...]
Charlottesville’s twisted eco-socialism: Norris, Marx, abortion, property rights, and saving the trees
Charlottesville City Council is troubled over the destiny of local trees. Born of this concern is the Charlottesville Tree Commission, an advisory body charged with assisting councilors in: reviewing hazardous trees; informing the public of the city’s tree preservation efforts; engaging the youth; developing a street tree master list; and maintaining a tree inventory. A [...]

Merry holiday! “Christmas” reluctantly returned to Charlottesville City lexicon
In the ultra-secular bastion known as Charlottesville, Virginia, the dreaded “C”-word (Christmas) is considered common profanity amongst the region’s academic elites, within the local Democrat establishment, and particularly by the elected progressive puppets who inhabit City Hall. In previous years, it has been avoided at every opportunity in all official city communications (except for referencing [...]
Guest editorial: America: A Christian nation?
America: A Christian Nation? by Hank Martin There appears increasingly these days, the question as to whether or not America is a Christian nation. While there was little doubt or debate about this until the early twentieth century, the question seems to be growing in both intensity and discussion. The question was brought to the [...]
