Perriello sign-ban shot down: King Tom’s fascist tactic taken from SEIU playbook

Perriello sign-ban shot down: King Tom’s fascist tactic taken from SEIU playbook

The Rutherford Institute, yesterday, strongly condemned Congressman Tom Perriello’s Town Hall “sign-ban” as “an act of outright censorship” that comes “at the expense of his constituents’ First Amendment rights to freedom of expression.”
Within hours of Rutherford releasing their statement along with a letter (which threatened legal action) sent to directly to “King Tom” Perriello, the [...]

Lefty loves Tom Perriello: McNeill, too, slants the news

Lefty loves Tom Perriello: McNeill, too, slants the news

Words are powerful.
Words can be used to clarify; words can be used to obfuscate.
When perusing the daily newspaper, one should not need to parse. Sadly, when Brian “Lefty” McNeill is at the pen, every printed word must be run through an objectivity strainer, and the spaces between the lines, as well, must be weighed for [...]

Bird brained: “Chicken Tom” Perriello ducks debate with Jeff Clark

Bird brained: “Chicken Tom” Perriello ducks debate with Jeff Clark

Tom Perriello is a man well known for personal and public hypocrisy.
He claims to be “Catholic,” yet he supports abortion “rights.”
He claims to be fiscally frugal, yet he votes in favor of ObamaCare and for the massive energy tax known as Cap and Trade.
He claims to “represent” the people of Virginia’s Fifth Congressional District, yet [...]

On Monday, August 2, 2010, Congressman Tom Perriello was given a long overdue whupping, not by his mother, but by Carole Thorpe, chair of the Jefferson Area Tea Party.
At the evening press conference, Ms. Thorpe along with Alex Cortes of DefundIt.org and Dr. Gary Helmbrecht took turns taking Perriello to task for breaking his “abortion [...]

Let them eat cake: Perriello health care plan to starve constituents?

Let them eat cake: Perriello health care plan to starve constituents?

Virginia’s 5th District Congressman, Democrat Tom Perriello, is a silver-tongued snake oil salesman if ever there was one. He could sell ice to an Eskimo. He could even sell socialized medicine to a district largely comprised of capitalists. And that he did.
The delusory pitch was based on Perriello’s promise that his vote in favor of [...]

The Perriello plunder: Congressman buying votes with stolen constituent money

The Perriello plunder: Congressman buying votes with stolen constituent money

As widely anticipated, the publicly funded Congressional vote-buying schemes have begun—just in time to impact November elections. And characteristically, Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello is at the stratagem’s forefront.
Perriello, who infamously muttered the foreboding phrase, “if you don’t tie our hands, we’ll keep stealing,” is employing his loosed limbs to fulfill this pusillanimous promise.
A media release [...]

Still dangerous after all these weeks: Charlottesville High School bridge safety hazard continues

Still dangerous after all these weeks: Charlottesville High School bridge safety hazard continues

Nearly two months after being chronicled as a public safety hazard on The Schilling Show Blog and News, the connecting bridge between Charlottesville High School (CHS) and McIntire Park remains extremely dangerous.
Large sections of the safety railing have been missing for weeks on-end after the bridge was briefly repaired in April. Now out-of-sight apparently equals [...]

TKO: Perriello vs. Del Rosso on health care reform

TKO: Perriello vs. Del Rosso on health care reform

On April 21, 2010, after an 18 month absence, Congressman Tom Perriello returned to the “ring” (aka The Schilling Show), this time to debate a 5th district constituent, Michael Del Rosso, on the process, merits, and constitutionality of nationalized health care legislation—for which the Congressman proudly voted.
Listeners may be frustrated by Tom’s elusiveness: using “stick [...]

Guest editorial: Debunking Charlottesville’s climate change hysteria

Debunking Charlottesville’s climate change hysteria
by Dr. Charles Battig
The recent announcement that Ms. Cynthia Adams, Charlottesville’s Climate Protection Program Coordinator, was hired by the Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) prompted me to re-visit the City’s “Environmental Sustainability” page.  Scrolling down to the “A Green City” option, led me to the next set of options, and finally [...]
