Photo essay: Charlottesville’s dirty downtown mall
Charlottesville’s downtown mall has an image problem. Long upheld by boastful city officials as a family friendly shopping, entertainment, and dining destination, reality speaks otherwise as those with young children increasingly are seeking alternate venues. The downtown mall has weathered its share of controversy—pedophiles congregating at the children’s museum, violent teen-mob assaults, and reportedly random [...]
Divided allegiance: Councilor Huja openly embraces the United Nations
As if Charlottesville needed another political problem—business-loathing councilors; a Marxophile Mayor; and manipulated, corrupt local elections, are but a few of the Democratic Socialist Republic’s myriad, government-related woes. But things can always be worse, and now they are. Introducing the internationalist City Councilor, Satyendra Huja! Perhaps in attempt to out America-hate fellow travelers at Charlottesville’s [...]
Guest editorial: Albemarle County Schools to cave in to censorship — ‘A Study In Stupidity’
Albemarle County Schools to cave in to censorship— ‘A Study In Stupidity’ by Jim Stern Censor Sherlock Holmes, are they kidding? The School Board is poised to ban Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study In Scarlet. The Nazi’s burned books, is that next? Check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_book_burnings. I can see it now; soon nothing [...]
Infill-tration: Charlottesville Democrats organizing to undermine Albemarle County property rights
Charlottesville Democrats are organizing a visit to the June 8, 2011 Albemarle County Board of Supervisors meeting in order to promote the dangerous United Nations “sustainability agenda”—not for themselves, but for Albemarle County!

Guest editorial: A proper response
A proper response by Hank Martin Providence occasioned me to be in Washington, D.C., the night of Osama Bin Laden’s demise. It was admittedly; an almost surreal experience, as the streets were typically quiet for a Sunday night, then a trickle of people turned quickly into a flood, as the streets almost organically became energized [...]
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 [...]
