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.

Society Needs More Patriarchs
by Hank Martin

Let’s not “Vote for Kristin:” Reason #23, the e-mail files
Thinking of voting for Democrat Kristin Szakos (aka the Moat Monster), in Charlottesville’s November 3, 2009 City Council election?

Our culture’s current love of tolerance causes some Christians to so fear being offensive that we avoid speaking out at all. However, Christians live under a different moral code than unbelievers. Christians are not called [...]
