Video vilification: David Brown’s bullying pulpit
Time and time again, citizens have bemoaned abusive reception at the hands of Democrat Charlottesville City Councilors during meetings both public and private. And over the years, many residents—Democrats and Republicans alike—who may on occasion disagree with Council, have stopped attending or speaking-out at City Council meetings, fearful of a public tongue-lashing by bumptious and [...]
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 [...]
Free speech: Liberal hippie goes ballistic at Charlottesville Tax Day Tea Party
The Jefferson Area Tea Party’s 2010 Tax Day Tea Party event was a colorful affair—with homemade signs, flags and bright attire, it was a perfect slice of American patriotism.
But the color turned “blue” when leftist”Henry Lee” tipped his teacup. The angry liberal took great offense at a conservative (Rob Schilling) daring to wear long hair, [...]
Government school failure: Indoctrinated Albemarle schoolgirl solicits tax increase
Central Virginia’s Albemarle County is a municipality like many others across the United States: It is relatively affluent and it spends an inordinate amount of confiscated citizen wealth (i.e. taxes) on funding government schools.
A recent series of public hearings on the Albemarle County budget brought forward a surprising number of local residents and government school [...]
The Charlottesville budget bomb 2: Trimming $15 million from Charlottesville’s “no fat” budget
Charlottesville Democrat City Councilor Kristin Szakos recently asserted of Charlottesville’s budget,”There’s no fat in it at all.”
A pork-laden budget and”no fat,” how can that be? Well, it can’t.
Councilor Szakos—who ran on a platform of continued fiscal responsibility—and her Democrat council counterparts actually have a huge incentive to bloat the budget: the more money they spend, [...]
The Charlottesville budget bomb 1: Gary O’Connell’s economic sorcery
Charlottesville City Government has a spending problem, and it is sickening citizens of Charlottesville and Albemarle who must pay for City Council’s addiction to easy cash.
Over the past decade, Charlottesville’s budget has nearly doubled—compounding meteoric budget ascensions of the 1990s. Many factors facilitated City government’s gross overconsumption of taxpayer monies, any of which could have [...]
Walking tall: Cuccinelli brings a big stick to Washington
On behalf of distressed Virginians across the Commonwealth, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has taken the case for Health Care Freedom straight to the fetid source of oppression: Washington, D.C.
In an unprecedented and heroic action, Cuccinelli has filed suit against the federal government in order to terminate the unconstitutional Perriello/Obama/Pelosi assault on individual liberty—Congressionally mandated [...]
Guest editorial: For the lack of a nail!
A historic and monumental bill was passed late Sunday night by bending arms and bending rules. Representative Hastings summed it up saying, “There ain’t no rules here—We make them up as we go along.” Congressman Tom Perriello’s vote made the difference in the outcome of this healthcare legislation. This culmination of rule bending began more [...]
Truthful Tom: Perriello admits Congressional “stealing”

In a March 16, 2010 Washington, D.C. meeting with members of the Jefferson Area TEA Party, Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello (VA CD-05), was instructing constituents via a mini-dissertation on Congressional spending.
