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! Malcontent with their city’s ongoing participation in liberty-stealing $1,000,000 central planning exercises—hosted by the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC)— Charlottesville Democrats [...]
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 [...]
Desperately Seeking Satyendra: Charlottesville Democrats panic over racial city council conundrum
The Charlottesville Democratic Committee (CDC) has woven a tangled web in its decades old “secret” representation agreement with the city’s black community, and now their chickens are coming home to roost. The “deal,” cemented in the early 1980s was reached after the Charlottesville NAACP and affiliated individuals nearly succeeded in pressuring then-Mayor Frank Buck and [...]
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.

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 [...]
Guest editorial: You have been blessed; now bless others
You have been blessed; now bless others by Sarah Walls Mathis (age 13 years) “Ain’t I a woman? Look at me. I have plowed, and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man – when [...]
Guest editorial: Charlottesville’s do gooders, don’t get it
Charlottesville’s do gooders, don’t get it by Steve Lopez So what happens when a bunch of men and women with doctorate degrees read that Charlottesville is the best place in America to retire?
