Tom DeWeese Of American Policy Center At Fauquier County Tea Party Protest

by Smitty Yesterday this blog was privileged to attend and document a protest in favor of liberty, private property, and the general American imperative to resist the Bloomberg-ification (if you will) of our lives. Tom DeWeese of APC offers a high-level overview of the situation, touching on some of the creepier Agenda 21 aspects of […]

Tea Party Protest In Support Of Virginia Farmer Over Fauquier County Zoning

by Smitty First they came for the farmers. . . as was demonstrated at the Warren Green Building in Warrenton, Virginia. Previous reporting here. It was a pleasant summer day in what looked to be a quaint rural Virginia town. Not the kind of place you’d expect to be ground zero in the current national […]

Why Is Fauquier County, Virginia, Waging War Against Small Farmers?

Zoning is the closest thing to fascism most Americans will ever know, and it’s remarkable how local governments use zoning laws to limit the rights of the little guy while rewarding the wealthy and well-connected. Big developers who know how to work the system can almost always get whatever they want from zoning boards, while the small […]

‘Gentleman’ Jim Moran, VA-8, Clues The World In On A Point His Constituents Suspected, Yet Was Better Unstated

by Smitty No time for a transcript on this gem: What’s fascinating about Moran’s remark is that it means Moran is a co-member of the No-Junk Brotherhood with Harry Reid.

Jammie Wearing Fools recently pointed out that the June fundraising numbers inspired a sense of panic at Obama HQ, with one anonymous Democrat saying, “If people are freaked out, I think they should be freaked out.” And you can expect the Democrat freakout to intensify next Friday when we get the official FEC reports for […]

by Smitty Stacy McCain already laid down the 5 W’s on the protest yesterday, but here are more pictures to keep the Tea Partiers stoked. Clicking on images will open them at full size in a blank tab:  The Tea Partiers mustered in the parking lot of a nearby elementary school, so that parking would […]

For @dmataconis: Romney Campaign Bus In Centerville, VA

by Smitty Doug Mataconis is a sharp guy and frequent interlocutor on Twitter. While I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting him in person, but he taps into my lingering well of resentment toward all of the preppy, teacher’s pet, condescending snobs back in high school. May I be wrong, and have the pleasure of […]

Axis Of Fedora Puts Another Two Under The Brim

by Smitty Yesterday at the Barack Obama Elizabeth Warren channeling (quotation is from Roanoke, but I doubt they reloaded the teleprompter) the Axis of Fedora enrolled a couple of new members, joining the ranks of SWAC Girl and Fishersville Mike. Welcome aboard, Marooned in Marin and some guy named Aaron Worthing. The Axis of Fedora […]
